Dontchajustlove EBAY? One of the IV's, Gayle, discovered a Womble knitting pattern in a little store in New Zealand. I was very jealous! In case you don't know, The Wombles were a hugely popular kids program in the UK when I was a kid (oooo about 20 years ago), and to see the knitting patterns re-emerge on Ebay was very exciting. I have just won Madame Cholet and Orinoco.
I also bought a Clanger pattern (another cool kids program in the UK many moons ago).
The fish look great!!
I remember watching the Wombles here in Tasmania when I was little! I use to love them!!

They bring back some memories, I just love some of the things that turn up on ebay. By the way the wool shack is one of my favourite places.
