Description
I've made a sweet little bird, but not just a bird, it's a gift.
My grandpa always puts quite some intrest in what me and my sister do and we get e-mails from him with links, ideas and things that might intrest or help us. A while ago my grandpa read something about a thing called wooly woods, where people cover up trees, bridges and all other things outside with knitting and crochet work. He send me an e-mail about it and asked me if I'd enjoy doing that. Now I do believe it is legal where I live, it's seen as vandalism just like graffiti (I'm not 100% sure). I did offer him to make something for his garden, since he loves being in there.
My mom will take it with her when she's visiting him soon. I hope you like it grandpa and that it'll fit in your garden nicely! And I hope you guys like this too! The pattern can be found down below. Feel free to ask me questions if things are unclear.
