Thank you for your recent visits and comments!
A new pattern coming soon called Donnie at the Duck Pond, inspired by Donnie’s plunges and the shadows, ripples and color combinations of the pond:
The pattern uses clustered increases and stacked decreases, and is knit with Zauberball Crazy, in five botanical colorways created by Schoppel Wolle inspired by my color suggestions.

Sadly, we said good bye to our dashing little pack leader just before Easter.
We miss her.

Thanks for recent comments and enquiries about Mini – she’s had some health issues recently and is slowing down a bit – visits to the park are a bit more sedate:
here she is waiting for dinner – on a kilim (like the image in the previous post it’s a souvenir from Istanbul):
