    About

    I have a lovely Irish surgeon and he always likes looking at my knitting when I'm in hospital, as soon as I saw this pattern I thought of him. I am going to get a toy stethoscope to go with it.😊 well I have decided I am going to make myself another one of these, as this one is going to my surgeon and I will miss his cheeky face sitting on my kitchen bench.(the cosy not my surgeon.lol).πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

      Thank you I really enjoyed knitting him,I didn't have any red fur but I like the silver and I think I will try and knit a stethoscope as the toy ones might be too big, if I can find a pattern.lol I'm having fun though, and I might try the baker one next as it has hair and I'm not very good with hair.😊😊

      He’s just brilliant! You’ll have to tell us what your surgeon thought of him!
