This felted squirrel arrived by mail from my insanely talented knitter friend Jess, I just about died when I saw it! Hazel and I are currently negotiating ownership of it and darn it I'm standing firm in the face of her blandishments! He's MINE. If you want to check out some of her other stuff and you belong to Ravelry, she's Jessicat. She's sent Hazel some amazing stuff in the last couple years, the latest is this set
but I think my favourite was this cardigan, we dressed Hazel in it for much longer than we should have, telling ourselves it still fit, because it was so gorgeous
The squirrel was my gift from the giftiness meme that was going around last year and it's reminded me that I need to get on to mine! This is what I had way back at the end of January:
Jess
Donna
Shelly
Litterladder
Becs
Jexia
Jen
Chef Messy
I've done Shelly (iPhone cover) and Jess (pincushion). So. Can everyone who is on this list please email me their snailmail addresses? That way I can just create and mail. And feel guilty enough to do it because now I have addresses. :)
That squirrel is fantastic! I *really* love the little set that you've just received - it's a gorgeous colour, and the purse is so cute :) Not that I need it yet (or in the near future), but does Jess take orders?!
ReplyDeleteI'm as bad as you on the gifting meme. I have plans, I think I know what I want to do, but have yet to execute said plan...eep!
Wow you make me sound amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a really good pattern. I still need to make H another sweater/jacket.
You are amazing, Jess! It's not just about the pattern, it's about the execution (says the woman who can't knit anything other than straight lines). That set you've knitted for Hazel is completely adorable - I want one, and I don't even have kids ;-)e
ReplyDeleteadorable set, love the squirrel makes me want to get out my needles and knit knit knit!
