Picture it, if you will, i am on the 12.06 from London to Reading, i have my incredibly weak cup of tea (it's really just hot water and milk) that Sharon from the trolley mugged me £1.90 for, there is a woman opposite me sans bra who keeps making exasperated noises in German and i am out of mini cheddars. I am hurtling away from seven weeks of harem pants, dancing pandas, disco medleys and pretending to be a sapphire... Or Pantomime as it is known to others, and making my way steadily closer to the real world. Gulp.
What are you doing? Maybe you're having a cup of tea that you haven't had to take out a small mortgage to purchase, maybe you've made the tea just how you like it, and aren't wondering whether there is really a tea bag attached to the end of string dangling over the side. Or maybe you're just sat in your pyjamas reading this. if so, bravo to you, maybe go the whole hog and watch This Morning on +1. The ultimate in Lazy Indulgence. Unless it's Friday, cause then its not Phil and Holly...Anyway..i'm getting far too involved in your telly programming.
If you made it past the long and convoluted Introduction, 10 points to you. Have a biscuit.
As i said, i have spent the last seven weeks dancing in Pantomime. My sister has spent the last nine months growing a human. It's up to you which you're more impressed by. So during the time when i wasn't a dancing sapphire or working 9-5, i thought i'd knit the little sprog something.
If you have read my first blog about my premier foray into the busy and exciting world of knitting, you will know that i intended to work on something smaller next. Maybe a baby hat, maybe a small blanket. Did i?! OF COURSE I CHUFFING DIDN'T!!! I'd made a grown up hat. I was knitting with the big boys. No going back. The illustrious Dame Widow Twankey, or 'Ben' as he is more commonly known, gave me a knitting pattern for a lovely little dress.

so off I went, after a few weeks of knitting and purling and nearly missing several cues cause i was so close to finishing a row (oops) this was the end product:

To say i'm pleased with it is a bit of an understatement. Now just need to wait for the little lady to actually fit in to it.
