My mum did lots with us as children but my first memories were making tooth fairy outfits and little gifts to leave under my pillow. I also remember my mum trying and failing to teach me to knit. It wasnt her fault she just produced the most cack handed child ever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282291109263470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-58989167843359972562009-08-15T05:56:54.692+01:002009-08-15T05:56:54.692+01:00I remember making a ceramic spoon rest.

I made them for my mom and for Christmas gifts- I remember wondering what color would go best with my aunt's kitchen. I didn't make just random multi-colored potholders either, I loved to make plaids and checks and was quite intrigued by the way the different colors of potholder "loopers" would intersect each other perpendicularly and blend together to make another color.kimmysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452318439545510837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-12432512508982369092009-08-13T23:30:01.680+01:002009-08-13T23:30:01.680+01:00I had a tiny circular knitting tube thingie!

It is made of sky blue felt, had buttoned eyes and a yellow ribbon round it's neck. It took me quite a while to sew as my mum guided me.
