LOVING LIFE, ONE STICH AT A TIME
Hello my name is Poppy.
I live with Mummy Rivett, Daddy Rivett, Buster and Ashley Bird.
I am youngest member of the family.
I get very excited when I see you and my tail wags so fast that my whole body shakes.
I like to collect stones and play fetch.
My favourite toy is my Red Kong, it is as big as my face.
I love to sleep on Mummy Rivett’s lap.

The sack of mice tea cosy was such a nice little project, one that I could dip in and out of at leisure. Nor that I needed a reason to knit this, but we thought that Daddy Rivett’s Mum would like it for her Birthday. Yarns used for this project were all Sirdar Bonus knit […]
The R2D2 Beanie, finished with more time than you could wave a light saber at. This was my first ever Commission for a work colleague for her son’s birthday. She was delighted and it raised a few smiles all round. Nice little knit this one, little being the operative word here. For some reason […]
The wedding is over, the Bride looked stunning and Mummy Rivett was up till 05:00 to finish the crown in time for the garden part at East Greenwich Pleasaunce. The story behind this one was thus. Three weeks prior to the wedding, Daddy Rivett and I were taking Poppy and Buster to the Pleasaunce for […]
As mentioned in my first post, this was my first completed knitting project in over 20 years. The idea came about when I asked Daddy Rivett what he would like for his Birthday. “Surprise me.” was the response. So, with that in mind, I thought I would hand knit a doll for him, after all […]
