It has been noticed by various members of my family that when one of my children leaves home I enter a flurry of making things, so when my youngest son aged 16 joined the Royal Marines out came the knitting needles! Now I am not really a knitter so the dish cloth was a pretty easy thing for even a beginner like me to make and believe me dish cloths have been made thick and fast since he left. I gave them away to friends...did they want/need one?...I don't know but they were kind about it and just shook their heads gently!
They have become known as the menopausal, empty nest dish cloth, problem is I've now started on tea cosies, sort of funky ones that are shaped like pineapples and fields of sheep...but that's another story!
I don't know why I made this teacosy, I have plenty but this design just made me do it! A friend at work showed me what to do and off I went home and did it. It's meant to be sheep on a hillside. It's fun anyway.
I know this is very sad / mad / or perhaps both! I was told about this idea by someone and decided to make all the young people in this house a mini hat for Easter! The two fluffy ones are for the girls, my daughter and my son's girlfriend who is staying with us this weekend. The bobble hat is for my middle son and the green one with the badge is meant to be a green beret of the Royal Marine Commandos which my youngest son has been in training with recently. Just a bit of fun!
