So after we collected Elizabeth from school we went on over to get my prezzie, no we were going anyway (honest!!!) as I'd boguht a present for her too (spooky). Am sure if you visit her blog she may have mentioned it. My present was a book called 'Daisy And Her Needles' by Keith Balding. The pictures are fab and what have I just learned to do...knit!!!!
It goes like this....
'When Daisy got out her needles the world began to change,
She knitted a fire,
She knitted her tea,
She knitted her husband
And she knitted me.
When Daisy got out her needles the world became woolly.
She knitted some books,
she knitted a view,
she knitted a crossing,
She knitted a Ewe.
As Daisy worked hard at her needles the world began to soften.
She knitted a garden,
She knitted a gnome,
She knitted a prize,
She knitted a home.
She knitted a scene from an avant-garde ballet,
She knitted a clock in the shape of a chalet,
She knitted a plate with a birthday cake on it,
She knitted a cat with a bonnet upon it,
She knitted a tree with apples all rosy,
And just for a change another tea cosy,
Daisy has knitted and this book is full, so she's busily knitting some new balls of wool.'
Wish I could show you all the pictures but I'd be here all week, may put some in later posts because they are just sooooo cool!! Thanks Lyns!!

Haha! Fabulous! I love the pictures too. Reminds me of Nutty Noah and Knitting Norah from when I was a kid!
You can knit gnomes?!! Coo! I'm impressed.

I went to school with Keith Balding - many moons ago!
Love this book! Had forgotten about it until I recently took up knitting.
