Ballerinas

Have just managed to bribe Amy off the computer with a snack, so I don’t have long!

Have at last finished 3 ballerina bunnies for Amy and her friends. Am deep in the wilderness of half term (so far sanity is intact) but lack of knitting time is making hands shake and eye twitch. Have 5 days left and am determined to make it without crumbling. The camp guards here are merciless forcing repeat episodes of Charlie and Lola, hours of disco dancing to pop junior and sudden demands for food, perfectly timed to create distraction. Have already put phone in fridge and juice on cornflakes. Must stay focused, must be strong, knitting days will come again.

WAIT, oh no I can hear that cry “Mumeeeee…” must hide. Will contact again when it’s safe. Bunny Knitter Out.

  1. They are divine! You are too good!
    Juice on cereal, been there, also I have spread jam on toast, and then the butter! Duh!
    I love Charlie and Lola, and if it is on while I’m there I fall into a loving mush, and have a silly smile on my face the whole time it is on. Kipper also has the same effect on me!

  2. Come in Bunny Knitter, come in. You must stray strong, the force is with you.
    I have recently found myself looking forward to 4pm when “we” watch Jakers? Huh?

  3. How do you manage it ? half term and three new bunnies? they are ADORABLE! I’m trying to work out how you got them to dance for us like that? Though I think those girls are life-like enough to manage that all by themselves! More!!!
    take care

  4. Thanks for all the comments on the ballerinas – they are ‘encouraged’ to pose with the insertion of a few well placed cocktail sticks and a little plasticine – please note, no animals were harmed in the making of this photo!
