The lovely Janet and Steve (sister-in-law and husband) are celebrating 25 years of marriage.
What gift to get? (bearing in mind the dinner invite specified no gifts). 25 years is Silver… So … Silver goblets, silver jewellery?
No. Not me. I decided to crochet a miniature (about 25cm high) caricature of themselves. I’ve been working on this for about an hour every evening for the last month and put in the finishing touches on the way up the motorway on Saturday morning on the way to their special meal. Janet always has on a back-pack (she loves walking and exploring) and is carrying a bag of knitting. Steve has Sky the dog (on two leads) and has a tablet in his hand with an energy cost graph, as he likes to tell you all about how much energy the solar panels are generating.
This project was a lot of fun and was well received by the recipients, despite my lack of skill.
Now I’ve got to decide who to immortalise next!
