....it's valentines day and I couldn't resist making something kitchabsolutely in love the end product....! (...who said you can't give presents you wish to receive yourself?)
This little guy is going to stay on my cream anchor chair next to my b&w paisley print pillow. I haven't knitted in over 10yrs and I must admit my skills have left much to be desired, but I have used an angora blend wool which can pass off imperfections as rustic character!
