How will stuff stay in the bag?

How are those nine even cuts in the plate)

Why would you KNIT bunting?

I was in the mood for some Christmas crafting, but my god that is shit.

Sorry for giant link! I am obsessed with this woman’s patterns, have made loads but this has been on my list for a few years and I now have someone to make it for :)

Oh my goodness. I've just got back into crochet again, along with my knitting and I have got to make some of her designs. My adult daughter loves all things Japanese and my grandchildren would love them. Thank you so much for posting that link.

@PassataQueenofBritain it is pretty genius.

For my twins first 3 birthdays I made them a toy of hers each, starting out with small ones and then accidentally made the world’s biggest toys ever for their 3rd (you can see them in the photo I posted upthread, they are insanely big).

I didn’t get to make them toys for their birthday this year as I was right in the middle of tribunals to get them into the right school. But I’m rushing to finish a couple of her chameleons for them for Christmas. Which also have music boxes in them although I fear they’ll just pull off and try to swallow the flies.
