Of Knights and Ninjas

Finally.

I have managed to wrestle the iPad from the kid's grubby mitts for long enough to actually write a post!

[I am totally looking forward to a return to routine. Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays- but things just get a little, well, bonkers.]

Wait a sec.... What's that? I can hear the sound of marching feet...







Hey! It's the crochet Korknisse Knights, or Korknightsse, as they like to call themselves.



Hello, fellas! How are you?



What, you haven't got any weapons yet? Well, be careful, won't you?



But who's that?

Watch out, Korknightsse! Behind you...



.... it's the Korknisse NINJAs!


They're a deadly and dastardly duo..




You naughty little blighters.



Ok, so the knights and ninjas are free patterns from the lovely Lucy Ravenscar's blog. The knights were made for my nephew, who is doing something 'knight-ish' at school in Sept and the Ninjas for my son, who has demanded 'hundreds more'.

Good excuse to drink more wine, methinks.

Mwaaa haaaaa haaaaa!

Oh, and the crochet cushion cover (pattern from here) is coming along nicely...






Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

I can see why he wants hundreds more, I see a Ninja army appearing soon, and more wine? Why that is a huge bonus!
Happy Weekend,
Meredith

Great ninjas, can they do all that fighting while flying through the air like the matrix....I'm waiting for the star wars figurines too....my middle boy is sooo into star wars, I really should give them a go, I think I may just drink lots of champagne to achieve my goal, better physique!

Lovely crochet circles, looking forward to seeing the finished product. Unlike you, I really don't want the holidays to end as that means my return to work!

Oh the little knights are wonderful, just what you need in the summer hols. My boys are all grown up now, but they would have loved those.
With having four boys, it would have been different colours for different armies. Perhaps you should make a princess they can rescue...

Hello!
Love the knights and ninjas! My two little nephews (ages 2 and 4) would LOVE those little guys.

Sorry I haven't said hello in a while. I will do what I always do and blame it on the baby! :)

Hippywitch said...

Fab grannies, that will be one fabulous cushion sweetie.

I'm soooo behind trying to catch up a bit on blogs!
