First of all, I have to admit that I totally stole this idea from Froggie . These were the Christmas popcorn tins at Walmart. They were on the markdown aisle for less than $2.oo and once you remove the bag of popcorn inside, they make awesome little knitting tins. I need to add a bit of velcro on the sides to hold the little wicker top on...it tends to slide a bit. Not a bad little "bag" for 2 bucks. Thanks, Froggie.
I almost finished knitting all the pieces for my little duck. Just have a foot and the beak left to knit and then put it all together and put the stuffing inside. I still have plans for the teddy bear just haven't started it yet. The first attempt got sent to the frog pond. Now if I can just get good at seaming...I think might actually enjoy knitting toys.
The weather man is running his mouth again. We're watching for some sleet and possibly a little snow tonight. Let's hope he's consistent and wrong...as usual. I don't want any more nasty sleet.
We brought in the wood for the fireplace just in case. Better safe than sorry.

OH that is so cute. I can't wait to see pics of the duck.
Hugs!!!
I always like to reuse things too, but sometimes I save too many...any ideas for clementine boxes?
Good luck with your duck...seaming is not one of my favorite parts of knitting. Hope all goes well :)
Do we have the same weatherman?
'Cause ours change their minds as fast as I can frog my shawls.
What a great idea.
Hi Mel...
Who are the duck and teddy bear for? I'd love to see the patterns you are using. I have been making a barnyard of knitted animals for Adam, and a duck would be awesome. I usually crochet mine I am not sure if I could knit one but I'd love to try.
That container does look good. Where did you find the wicker lid?
