Wonderful.
Knitting is an artform itself and miniatures? wow - so detailed.
wow cant imagine knitting something so small
Must be the gloves for the little hamster walking around :-)
How amazing! I tried to teach myself to knit once, and I can't tell you how annoyed I was with the yard--this is just incredible.
Simply amazing. Thanks for this.
They're so beautiful, thanks Suzanne, excellent choice for Winter. Have a lovely week, hugs.
