Textile art: knitting a fox cub in winter (2)

When the eight year old (previous post) announced she wanted a fox cub and her mother on the front of the partly knitted jumper I was making, I searched for some quad ruled paper to draw the foxes on and bought skeins of dark blue and dark green wool since the foxes had to be 'just like in the book' .

Today I sewed the finished jumper together.

As the foxes emerged I showed them to the eight year old - she thinks they are wonderful. Phew...

What a lucky girl to get just what she wanted.
