I've just remembered, Max was the recipient of the worse present of the season, from a friend of Mum's. A knitted Andy Pandy suit, complete with blue and white stripes, and frilly wrists and cuffs. Must have taken her ages to knit, but....
My sister unwrapped it while we were all in the other room, and we came back to find her incoherent with laughter and despair. It's going to take a lot of tact. He'll probably have to wear it at some stage. The thing is, it's a bit big, he'll probably be 12-14 months when it fits. Old enough for him to be embarrassed!
I was very please to see Oli's tanktop in use (the blue and white striped one he's wearing on Xmas Day). I knitted that for him when he was about Max's age, and it's sort of stretched with him - a bit short in the body now, but I think he looks quite smart in it!
Right, I'm off. Got a train to catch.
but you did state you had a heavy rusksack.
Don't ask, lets just say I need some miles (well maybe more than just some) to burn it all off
As I was walking around the shop looking at other items, I was asked if he had a marmelade sandwich under his hat. Both items above were purchased in the very excellent Charity shops.
