A vintage memory

I was bowled over today when I found this old toy Pram in a charity shop. It is exactly the one I had when I was a little girl. I just had to buy it. I sent mum a picture, expressing my delight and amazement that it had lasted these 35 or so years. Mum laughed and said - "well it was second hand when you got it so it must be older than that." Wow.
It is a bit seized up, but essentially in very good order. I'm so excited, it is way too big for Scarlett, who can't even walk yet, but I think it will make a super nursery prop, until she is big enough.

Yarns

I have started knitting as well as crochet. I can see a wealth of opportunity for finished projects here....

So far it's tension squares in a lovely yellow DK wool, with some 3mm needles I pinched from my mums knitting bag at new year.

Stocking stitch- yay done that one
Garter stitch- yes, easy peaty done that one as well.
Moss stitch- err, I'm just guessing it here a bit. It's going ok, but I am getting the occasional rib. It would probably help to concentrate rather than watch a dramatisation of Queen Victorias life at the same time.

I'm also finding it quite t e d i o u s and dull. I might have to stick to crochet, which I do find a bit more exciting.
