Just need to post him off now - and get on with the C-word things.

Is he fat because he eats up one’s worries? ???

He’s lovely - such skills have passed me by!

Adorable chappie.

He is gorgeous!

Witzend Thu 29-Sep-22 09:04:57

He hasn’t been fed any yet, grandMattie, but he’s got a nice big mouth and tummy pocket, so I dare say he could soon be even more of a porker.

He’s lovely. You’re so talented!

He's lovely. You have given him personality.

Lovely ! Wish I had such talents !

Witzend Thu 29-Sep-22 09:36:08

IMO the truly talented ones, crazyH, are the people who invent such patterns! I couldn’t do it if my life depended on it.

He is wonderful! Well done Witzend, someone is going to be very happy to receive him.

I’m always so impressed by the beautiful neatness of your stitches.
I love his jumper - I really like that multicoloured wool.
I really like your chair too! ?

Thank you, FannyCornforth - the chair is actually a really old one inherited from ILs and re-covered a few years ago.

The yarn is one strand of green DK (plenty in my stash!) and one of ‘rainbow’ DK. It was either that or chunky. Nice big 5mm needles so fairly quick to knit.

The teddy's lovely. I'm always impressed by your finished projects.
