Good morning- something a little bit different from me today
- meet Doris the donkey.
This week's challenge theme at Fab'n' Funky is 'Anything but a Card' so I thought I'd share some photos of a little woollen donkey I knitted for a donkey-loving friend who's birthday was at the beginning of the lockdown. She's 8 inches tall (Doris not my friend) and made from left over scraps of wool. - and like all of my knitted toys she's slightly wonky! She's wearing a dress and frilly knickers (love the frilly knickers!) and carrying a co-ordinating shoulder bag...my friend loves bags too!
a glimpse of the frilly knickers!
She almost didn't make it to my friend's house as one of granddaughters fell in love with her and wailed 'Nanny I NEED a donkey in my life'
but I was tough and firm (for once)
I will make her one though...it will go with the rabbit and mouse that she NEEDED before!
Hop on over to Fab'n' Funky and see what the team have made this time, then why not join in and show us your non-card makes? I'm really looking forward to seeing what you create for this challenge.
Have a good day and thanks for stopping by.

Hi Chris - remember me!! - I loved Doris when I saw her, who doesn't need a knitted Donkey with frilly knickers, thats what I say, I'm loving her shoes as well. So many patterns and so much crafty time in lockdown - you could knit a zoo for your grand daughter!! - have fun xx
Oh Chris Doris is adorable, love her dress and frilly knickers and the lovely colours you have used.

Ach that is adorable Chris. I am sure your WEE friend will be delighted with it lol. Seriously, though it is gorgeous. My late sister, used to knits loads of little animals and people, each with their own wee personalities. Treasured keepsakes by all her Grandkids now.
