When I was a TV addicted kid in the 1970's the two highlights of my weekend viewing were The Wonderful World of Disney and The Muppet Show. Even Mum and Dad would watch the Muppet Show with me and laugh along with all the skits although I think they got a bit fed up with my Brother and I constantly singing 'ma na ma na' at the tops of our lungs. I don't even remember there ever being a Muppets knitting song but I was pleasantly surprised to find the Doozer Knitting song when I was doing a random google search a few days ago... it may even become the ring tone on my phone soon.
About ten years ago I bought Mum a Tickle Me Elmo doll for her birthday, the sort that when you did tickle Elmo it would gigle and vibrate. Even now it brings a smile to my face when I look at it... it's not just kids who like to have or enjoy toys.
While this video clip doesn't feature Elmo or the Muppets it does feature two very cute knitted characters called Knit and Purl... did I say very cute???... I meant to say incredibly cute!!!
Although what would you call the baby... Make one??? The credits appearing on a ball of yarn at the end of the clips are a very clever idea. My thanks to wonkyfilms for being so creative.
My little by little premise is working ok so far and the latest mini stockings offerings are in red and green... and the next colours will be green and white. Can you tell that I'm quite traditional when it comes to my Christmas colours?!?
I'm running late for work this morning so instead of babbling on about Christmas knitting I'll leave you with another clip from Knit and Purl... I couldn't resist because it's about tickling!
Cute wee stockings.
I picked up Christmas paper, ribbons and cards last night. I was surprised to see that they are all in shades of blue. Not traditional Christmas colours at all. They are very wintery looking. We get enough winter here in the frozen north you would think.
