Making a Puffin with the Gardiner Brothers.

So yeah, this intricate knitting style called intarsia is back in my life again as I desperately wanted to create a puffin for a young man in my life who is absolutely crazy about puffins.


It's engrossing work as every line has to be focused on and counting every stitch is a given but it's enchanting to see the image emerge out of all those bobbins. I have a huge fascination for these wonderful birds myself. They make me laugh out loud every time I see them.



I found these incredible Irish dancers recently. The Gardiner Brothers. They'll dance to anything. Here they are with Abba.


And here they are giving The Nutcracker a bash.


I can't watch these without a huge smile.
