Thats a fantastic thing you are doing for your neighbour.. Christmas present?
anyway
my granny ,an expert animal fremb knitter herself ,wrote in her journal
"the mauphy secret of the best frembsters, lo behold ,i leave with thee
when knitting a gwap for the octopus' knee
7 kemph needles are the best you see
when rabbits need himpfs to cover their ears
the pashmina wool will last for years..
when grinkled turtles need wagnakets
the qamlic stitch is your best bet..
but the lenth of wool for a giraffe snood
is the same my dear as the blue whale's hood."
ah my granny... the master frebster...how she would be excited if she knew that there is some one out there still practicing her favourite hobby!!!
hope you will find her tips handy for the other neighbours..
happy knitting!!
and a meery christmas
cheers
:)
Ps the length of snood is largely dependent on the quality of the preffered animals hair!!
