Barbara's Creative Projects
Puppets are fun to make and take very little time or materials. I have created two recently.
The first one is a little penguin finger puppet – Mina used to love Pingu, though now George is a favourite. The pattern came from http://www.innerchildcrochet.com
The larger one is from a link Petrina sent to me: http://gosyo.co.jp/english/pattern/eHTML/ePDF/1101/3w/amikomo-7_Cleaning_Mitt.pdf — I modified it, of course.
Christine sent me a text – the Human Society had a kitten that had a stump for a hind leg, whether a birth defect or an accident they didn’t know; but would I be able to knit a sock to cover the stump?
I’m not a very good knitter at all, but I decided to give it a try. The end result:
And here the kitty is to model:
And then she asked for more — hadn’t considered what would happen in the litter box! I’ve made another grey one and a red with white trim sock for Christmas.
Because Mina liked to “ride” her broom I decided to make a hobby horse for her. I found a pattern online on Lion Brand Yarns — free with registration on the site. I just used yarn from my stash. I will take it to California when I go there in August.
Have been having difficulties with WordPress. Hope to get back online soon.
