Marina is the queen of knitting and kindness

I'm going to collect my son from school in a little while and when we get home i will give him his very own beautiful hand knitted fair isle tanktop, just like the ones worn on the Evacuee CBBC programme with which he was impressed and obsessed. How did this happen, given that his Mum and Dad and all the usual family suspects are known cack handed non-knitters? It was the hard work and talent and sweetness of Marina, a true goddess of mumsnet. Thank you so much. It is absolutely gorgeous and i know he is going to love it.

Have just seen the picture - gorgeous.

Also saw all the pink squares for "the blanket"...and am fighting feelings of inferiority having just wedged my lumpy, no-pattern, no-frills, no-moss-stitch-edge offering into an envelope.

Did we scare her away?

Has she run for the hills?

Tigana, if it helps I am knitting a single, started for me by MIL, no-frills-no-moss-stitch-lumpy-bumpy-holey-probably-rhomboid "square" which will be lucky to get to Marina at the 11th hour so you are ahead of me already!

Scummy, I popped a couple of shots for the archive on my profile, in case you did not fancy putting a photo of ds on, I know lots of mners prefer not to
Thanks to all for kind remarks. I really must now get back to bawling blasphemous curses at my children and letting down the neighbours' tyres

HOW gorgeous are those squares! Amazing work.
