Knitting in miniature
I was in a shop near Kenmare, in County Kerry this week, and saw this beautiful hand crafted piece of knitting in a frame, complete with little needles and tiny balls of wool – the frame is only about ten or twelve inches high, so this little piece must have been made by teeny tiny hands, maybe even by the fairies! Wouldn’t it be the perfect present for a keen knitter?

Oooh, it’s wonderful, my mum and dad “play” with dolls houses. My dad makes the houses, beautiful hand crafted from scratch and my mum decorates them. She makes tiny curtains, bedding etc and dresses the dolls in tiny clothes… Knitted on needles like hat pins. She’d love this.
