There are a lot of down right rubbish knitted toy patterns out there. Who wants a knitted scarecrow? Not me for sure! Being a touch on the controlling side, whilst still in utero, baby number 1 managed to buy Granny W a knitted toy pattern book. Luckily this was written in the 21st century and there were no scary scarecrows, only funkier and much more lovable creatures such as piggy.
The local charity shop has a bin of scary scarecrows and other old school knitted monstrosities. Okay, I admit some jealousy clouds my comments. These unsightly creatures are normally beautifully knitted and sewn up by a hardcore Women's Rural Institute lady. If only they would share their purls (gettit?) of wisdom with me! And then I found our local Knit and Knatter group and my prayers were answered. Now I know 4 different ways to cast on - one of which was entirely new to Granny W!
