Hurray! Check these babies out! Well not actual babies, but things that are knitted from wool!
VP sends this: is there no end to that woman's energy? She says: "It's surprising what a very wet day in February will make you do. This is my own design and fits a small cafetiere."
Yes, but in my case a wet day in February will make me eat a half pound bar of Dairy Milk and then cry.
She also sends this: "Very cold days in February also call for desperate measures. I could have got a body double in, but I decided to do my own hand modelling. Note the clean fingernails in spite of hours of gardening - soap under them usually does the trick."
Hmm, yes. So probably would actually washing the hands. I think basically I am just dirty. I don't even notice there's soil under my fingernails till I'm in a shop and someone's staring at my hands slightly fascinated. One thing is true, I will never be French.
I especially like the touch of bling in this photo (check out that left hand ring finger, girl!).

I found it on this blog which deserves to be credited if only because I love the idea of punk rock knitters."

I feel a certain woolly friend may be at an advantage here and be able to produce an item that spans both the Garden Blogger and celebrity portrait categories in one fell swoop ;)
When sorting out the wool I used for my fingerless mitts in February, I found an unfinished purple mohair sweater lurking in the cupboard. Which means it's at least 20 years old as that was the last time I'd wielded my needles!
