I just couldn't resist the purchase of the Royal Doulton mug dated 1936. When you look at the photos, I think you'll agree it is a must-have!

I was given one of these when I was a baby - not many years after 1936. When my mother died earlier this year I was able to reclaim it.

I have to feel very sorry

I have to feel very sorry for the bunny in the second image. Forget about having the knitting wrapped around his head.... why is he trying to knit in the round with single pointed needles?

At any rate, a great find, and incredibly cute.

He reminds me of my last

He reminds me of my last jumper and the attempts with those bloody DPN's! At least his stitches aren't falling off the ends! Of course, you're right about trying to knit with single point needles...
