Elsa's Babbit
Pattern: Sophie Yarn: Sirdar Bonus Flash DK - Peacock - glad of the strength of this as I pulled and pulled at it to knit around the stuffing for the head without leaving great ladders between the dpns - used about a ball Needles: 3.5mm Bamboo DPNs Started: 15 February 2008 Finished: 24 February 2008 Notes: Loved knitting it once I was past the cast on where whilst wrestling the dpns I feared it might go the way of Clarabelle's Woodins . My cast on didn't entirely disappear as it should and I confess I thought I was starting at the nose so would be able to hide it with embroidery but you actually start at the back of the head. I'm happy enough with it and I don't think that little Elsa (one today) will mind too much. I took the tip to use a crochet hook to pick up the stitches and found that worked really well; there are fiddly moments after each body part pick up (urgh sounds dodgy!!) but enough plain knitting to be quite soothing and watching the little creature grow

I forgot we shared a birthday - didn't realize it was the same year!
I am (somehow) going to get a copy of that Rowan mag too, it looks great.
I hope you had a wonderful day.
30s are wonderful years, trust me. Absolutely Wonderful!
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Sarah
Happy birthday to you
Don't worry, young 'un, the 30s are a breeze (it's the 50s that are yuck)!
It's been a while since I dropped by, lovely to catch up on all your news.
