Mr Crumpet came into the studio to help pick up the blackboard I made last semester, took one look at my desk, and noted that I seem to be regressing to childhood. And if that means that I get to make cool stuff, I don’t mind one single bit.

Mr Crumpet’s mum gave me some teacups and saucers from her collection the other night.

I’ve only been able to knit a tiny bit on this each day, but it’s a toe up sock knitted from Interlacements Tiny Toes that I bought as a treat for myself with some of the money I had sitting in my Paypal account.

Help me please!
