WIP Wednesday: Still with the doll



I'm still making very slow progress on the knitted doll. There isn't much point in another progress picture since it's not very interesting right now. My daughter is nagging me daily to finish it, but I seem to have lost my knitting mojo...hopefully it will come back soon.

In other knitty news, I went to visit the Donna Wilson exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park on Sunday. It was the last day of the exhibition, so for anyone local that is hoping to see it, I'm afraid it's gone :(

I took some pictures so not all is lost.

The exhibition was called 'Endangered species' and was a knitted forest with a variety of knitted animals scattered around. My children were very taken with the exhibition and wanted Mummy to buy them various different animals. I myself, wanted a tree to hug :)

I feel inspired to have a go at knitting some animals for my girls now. Just need my mojo back.

  2. There's a book of those patterns isnt there? I dont have it myself but my friend's mum does. It's HILARIOUS. She knitted Percival long dog from it and hated it so gave it to me. He's a draught excluder at my grandpa's house now.
    Amazing patterns. Defintiely worth a look if you've not seen it.

  5. Great great pictures. They just gave me the idea I have been looking for, for a project at the boys school. Thank you so much for sharing.
