See what leapt out of the post bag?
A knit zombie from madly creative.
He probably eats the stuffing brains out of
the other toys at night.

The knits are arriving thick and fast.
Some are heavy with treasure, like the packet opened this morning.

The knits are snuggled together like old friends on the sofa.
Each piece sings of it's creation and they become a chorus of happy sounds.
Hound gets in close to glean the higher notes,
but he is not allowed to sit on them.

There was the pink green chick's pink and green knit.

She makes great blackberries too.

Swedish grrl Mia sent in a crochet piece with yarn so fine it
feels like silk. The fabric is fine and
slips over my skin.

If Mondrian was a knitter, this would be his creation.
Denise knits without needles, but made an amazing
exception this time.
I love the gap of space within the design.

knittygraffity out did herself, look at this intarsia! It is her signature style.
Looks like more sock yarn.

mmmmm.

A field of lialacs is Jacky 's offering.
She is a generous and multi faceted grrl.
She makes fantastic Klimt dolls too.


There is STILL time.
Aussie knitters, you have till July 5th if you still want to be in.
