How Dare I!!

So, I've been lax at posting the Tat It And See pictures. I'll catch up a bit shortly!

For those that follow the TIAS page closely, you will know that this particular TOG always changes her mind from an Elephants Foot Umbrella Stand (EFUS for short).  This year is no exception! Currently my guess is a Duck Filled Fatty Puss. Want to know why?  Well I'll tell you anyway!

Almost 40 years ago when we moved into this house we got a kitten. At the Christmas Sir wanted duck for dinner, and said kitten got the cooked giblets (innards)! He stretched out in front of the fire looking like a duck-billed platypus with a fat belly! Sir and his namesake down the cottages coined the phrase and it's stuck! 

Knowing Jane's deviousness it could be anything!!

It's Here Again!

The Tat it and See that is! 

The time of year where we all need cheering up. Here in the UK it can be dark, dull, dreich... a Scottish word for dismal.  So saying today is sunny in this corner of Yorkshire!  

Anyway, I digress, the period after the festive season feels flat for a lot of people, and it's exactly the right time for that TOG down south to launch something we all love doing!

Here's my wriggly worm... So far!

Chat soon

What Do You Do?

You know how the conversation goes....

Young li'l miss "Granny, when will I get my granny blanket? My sister has one. Where's mine? Will you make me mine? Please!!!"

When Mummy was expecting her, I made this for her sister to say thank you for all the baby stuff big sister didn't need anymore ....

Fast forward to babysitting at the end of November last year and the conversation written above. I couldn't think of a way of explaining how big sis had one when li'l sis hadn't!  So ... 14 X 100g balls of DK later.... No I didn't use it all! One steaming crochet hook and several late nights, over 400 miles travelling, (went to Scotland for Xmas, and wanted it finished by New Year) and the second 'Granny Blanket' is finished!

It was Young Li'l Misses 5th birthday on 2nd. She was presented with her blanket, 5 years between the 2 photos!!
