a wet garden ... and stitches

These last few days were cold

and often wet too

but the garden shows it's spring beauty anyway !

I finished another secret project

and then made some  tiny stitches  too

These were done on the machine,

there will be a lot more stitching by hand

.......

And daughter herself

made the cutest monkey you can imagine

out of fingering yarn, so he's very small

He is called  

"Jacobus"

and knitted from the top of his head

down to his hands and feet

and the tip of his tail

all in one go !
(he sits on the only seam there is !)

Annita is, among other things, a talented knitter.

Taking a look at het site is very worth while ! 

The pattern was in Dutch,

but it might be in English too (?)
