Great image, Cactuscafe. You are a great observer! Thanks for sharing it. Perhaps if 2legs takes up knitting, he'd like the pattern for these!

heheh. . I'll commission a cupcake. .

Yes, the knitted cake will never go stale, but perhaps they're not quite so digestible.

I love knitted things, especially if they're not entirely useful.

Knitted woollen scarves and sweaters and socks are great, and useful, but knitted cupcakes are my life.

In childhood I had a knitted white mouse, which was my companion for many a year.

Of course, The Clangers were knitted. This is an interesting realisation. The Clangers, from kids' TV. Those famous mousey creatures from a moonlike planet, who spoke in peculiar whistles.

Perhaps my knitted white mouse was a prototype Clanger, except it never whistled at me. Which is fortunate.

Here is another funny knitting project if you want to take it up again. Make sweaters (pullies) for penquins!

Seriously?? Really?? The penguins get to wear the sweaters?

Well, I'll know how to spend my time when I'm fast approaching 109. That'll be next year in fact.

Quite inspiring in fact.
