My Dad just retired, maybe I should suggest he take up knitting. I mean, it looks very social :-)<br />Great work as always, Andrew. I really admire your way of presenting old ideas in new formats.spindelmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567209482657775776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-75304637010670757172011-02-18T23:26:15.971-08:002011-02-18T23:26:15.971-08:00Hi Andrew,

I am admiring your wonderful dwarves. Their coifs are quite chic, perhaps enough to make an enemy stop in admiration for a split second, just long enough for them to make a quick hack to the knees. I do hope there is enough yarn left in that last ball of wool to cover the last guy's noggin. I love all the intricate branches behind them. And the plants and birds! Seems like a tranquil place for them to knit in unison. Oooh, and the kitty's fur! Wonderful texture. So soft. Another incredible piece, Mr. Finnie!
