The Amazing Adventures of Molly Mouse

The weather here in the South East has been a bit of a washout over the past few weeks. We seem to have had our beautiful summer in June, and as lovely as it was, it didn't coincide with the school holidays, therefore Charlotte has spent quite a bit of her time off school cooped up inside. There's nothing like a DVD and a snuggle under a blanket, but we prefer to leave these activities til the winter.

The time inside has provided some excellent knitting time though, and I have made Charlotte a little mouse to add to her (ever increasing) collection of stuffed animals. Molly has come with the idea that Charlotte write stories about the adventures they can get up to together, let's stretch her imagination shall we? There's nothing my darling girl likes more than to write a good story so hopefully she'll come up with something good.


Welcome to the family Molly, I'm looking forward to seeing what mischief you can get up to over the next few weeks.

I'm 33 rows in to Charlotte's granny stripe blanket, that's a third of the way there. Hopefully I'll get that finished off this week. Then some further projects need to be brought forward. I've been asked to knit a monkey for one of Charlotte's friends to give her cousin as a birthday present and my beautiful God Daughter turns 1 at the beginning of September so something soft and squishy should be going her way too.
