Blogging again

Ok, so I've decided to start blogging again!
I'd like to keep track of the things I'm making at the moment and to share some of my ideas and patterns.

I recently found some of my old toy-making wool at my Mum's house and my brother's mother-in-law had sent a bag of her spare balls of wool, so at the moment I'm knitting and crocheting. Projects and patterns to follow ... !

Craving

Didn't get much time for IF this week, I was working on something else but I hope you enjoy this sketch instead.

Dodos

Dodos are things with small stubby wings,
Which don't work too well for flying.
When danger surrounded,
The Dodos just floundered,
And most of them ended up dying.

Dodo numbers were waning, the few left remaining,
Said, "Now is the time to take action!
To take to the skies,
And avoid our demise,
We have to invent a contraption."

"What we need are wings, not these little things",
Said one of the still-alive Dodos,
"Something of size,
So up we can rise,
Like brilliant, feathered torpedoes.

Work began fast, on wings which at last,
Would keep all the Dodos from harm,
And when they were done,
They all had some fun,
Flying around in a swarm.

Now they are shy, they hide in the sky,
And some people think they're extinct,
But that's just a theory,
And incorrect really,
They just don't care what we think.
