Here is the top-down t-shirt sweater knitted in Rico Poems yarn - what lovely stuff that is! This was a really quick knit - probably less time to knit than it is taking me to iron the thing!
It's been a long time since I knitted a guinea pig.....I seem to remember there was a mad rush on them at the last Christmas fairs I did and then a hiatus until now. This one already has a home - he really is very cute with his tufty long hair and beady brown eyes. He has a squeaker and fully jointed legs and likes to eat peas. If you would like a guinea pig, short or long-haired, any colour, do get in touch - I'm temporarily between commissions so get your order in while you can!
I have quite an extensive collection of vinyl albums which haven't been touched for years now - my stereo broke and with the advent of CD's and MP3 players, I just never got around to replacing it. But today I received a pre-Christmas present from me to me of a record and tape player - it looks vaguely similar to one I used to have in my teens! The difference is that using this one I can transfer all my neglected albums on to the MP3 player - yay! In the meantime I am listening to albums by Dr. Hook, and Manhatten Transfer - hands up if you remember either of them! The sound seems so tinny but wonderfully nostalgic...I'm fifteen again....haha!
We have a similar one, I keep meaning to transfer my 78's - and yes, I have a Manhatten Transfer single somewhere in my collection!
ReplyDeleteI need to get a turn table for my albums. I still have all my albums, too. And yes, I remember Dr. Hook and Manhattan Transfer.
ReplyDeleteLOL Love your new turntable too... :-) and I remember Dr. Hook. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the jumper and guinea pig! Fingers crossed you sell loads this year too.

This piggy looks like a friend of mine, sylvia's mother, or it could look a little bit more like I was when I was only 16..... May it's the colour of the rolling stone.... .
ReplyDeleteDr Hook..... never heard of them. :-)
lovely fluffy piggy buy the way. x x x
