So, many moons ago my temporary flatmate (and permanent best mate) saw this in one of my Debbie Bliss magazine; MOCHIMOCHI LAND RAINYCLOUD. She was all “ooo ahhh ain’t it cute”. I mentally filed this piece of information and strove to make it for her 2012 Xmas present.
Cute little innocent little f^%ker isn’t it. “Oooo look at me all cutesy rainy droppy”. HARUMPF. There is nothing, I repeat NOTHING cute and pleasurable about knitting rainy drops on DPNs. I had to learn how to use them to make this and after 2 rainy drops decided that this project was going to have to wait till her birthday for completion. She finally got it tonight. Thankfully she liked it else there would have been death by rainy drop cord strangulation. Still, I forgive it. You can’t kick a puppy can you. I mean it meant I got to say some of the more surreal sentences of my life, my favourite being:
“I’m just sewing some eyes on a rainy drop”
Yeah. Course I was. What else does one do of an evening?
Anyway, a final close up of the bloody ‘darling’ rainy drops.
