I don't recall that I ever actually made anything with the yards and yards of knitting, but it was satisfying to do!

I'd spend hours doing those pictures.smeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02281509087322797861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734628859127072594.post-33727872848366539812011-11-23T15:25:27.857+00:002011-11-23T15:25:27.857+00:00I loved french knitting!

I had 'Knitting Nancy' which was painted to look like a person and I spent many hours making a long red worm, which eventually got coiled up to make a mat, I think!Kestrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984301306389767638noreply@blogger.com
