Knitting and Crochet

So enjoying my winter project after not being able to knit since loosing part of my finger when I was 8yrs old.

I never learned as it was too painful to hold a needle.

But now I am older I have self taught myself and am very proud having knitted 2 winter sweaters and many hats.

In my blog I shall share with you photos of my projects.

My latest winter project a cosy hat for myself.

I used Aero Chunky Yarn for this hat and its so cosy

Part 1: Animals Birds and Butterflies around the world

Here I shall post photos of many Animals, Birds and Butterflies that I found when looking back over my photo collection.

The first photo is of a Mandarin Duck. I just had to share this photo because the colours are amazing. These birds were happy wondering about in the grounds of the Palace in Lodz Poland. They are so beautiful.

I also came across this stunning peacock in the grounds of the Palace.
