I have to say my knitting is a bit rusty its years since I made anything however it did bring back lots of happy memories as I knit this coat for my Son when I was expecting him 37 years ago!!.I must say I was delighted with those little shoes but the reason there are two pairs I knit two left feet first time around silly girl so we now have two pairs I knit two right feet second time .Its not long to go now so we are all hoping things go well for them in these last few weeks they will be amazing parents.
I hope you all have a great Bank Holiday weekend we are just relaxing after being away the last two weekends. I may go to Northallerton this afternoon as I need a water colour pad which I can get from The Art Shop there and you never know I might just go in The Craft shop and Betty's as well !!
