I won a Giveaway!


Thank you to Deanna
for a Knook

What is a Knook, I hear you say?
Well, it helps people knit
with a crochet hook.
Doesn't that sound cool?

I'm so excited about getting this!
I'm hoping to make little woollies
for my dolls.
 I've never been able to do this before
because I'm a dreadful knitter.

I did learn to knit, once,
about a thousand years ago
before the Beatles broke up.

Everyone had to learn to knit 
at the school I was at
boys and girls, 
and that's obviously something I support.
I just wasn't any good at it!

So, I'm hoping to be better at 
Knooking
(is that a word?)
I'll keep you posted.

Thank you so much,
 Deanna!

Deanna is the go-to girl for 
experiments in dying fabric
and  she was really helpful 
with my tea dyeing .

  2. you're so welcome and can't wait to see what you make with it for your dolls. i used to teach grade school in NYC many years ago and i used to teach the girls and boys knitting. some of the boys were reluctant until i told them that if they wanted to be doctors, they had to know how to knit so they could make perfect stitches. that's probably not true anymore but i believe it was back then...

    1. That's a good way to get them involved. After all, the skills they learned there couldn't hurt.

      I'm hoping to start with dolly scarves and a cardi.

    How cool is that Knook thing. I can't knit to save my life. Maybe I need one of those.

    1. Slippers? I'm most impressed! I have to say, though, you do seem to have a shoe thing emerging...
