My right hand man.



I always know when cold weather is on the way, because Lady Magnon sits by the fire with her crochet hook and balls of wool.

The subject of her ambitions, this time, was Boo Boo. She was convinced that he needed a bright green mitten.

She looked at her wool for a while, devised a plan, then didn't stop until the thing was complete.

OK, it might look a bit 'interesting', but, I'm assured, the next one (if she makes a next one) should be better.

I asked Boo Boo if he wanted the other one to be the same bright green; he said no, he wanted it to be blue. Lady M refused; she only has bright green wool.

  1. This made me smile Cro and cheered me up somewhat after losing my beloved Tess.

    1. I was so sorry to hear about Tess this morning. No words can compensate for the loss.

  2. A very apt title - maybe some slippers next so he could be a little green man.

  3. I totally see it. Life is so much more exciting when the gloves are bright green and they are made with love and without a pattern.
    Go Lady M.

    1. They (it) looks pretty good to me; I wouldn't have a clue where to start. She just made it up as she went along. Clever.

  5. I remember that my grandmother knitted me mittens where the bit over the fingers would button back so that I could use my digits.

    1. That sounds extremely complicated.... I'd better not mention it to Lady M; it may give her ideas.

    1. No, they live in a big converted barn about 200 metres away.
