Materials
Hattie investigated the contents of the junk drawers, and located some wooden wheels – Hooray!
Hay Wain

Hattie was digging around in the toy cupboard when she came across a wooden farm set, with these two spavined draft horses and broken hay wain…
Daffodils
Garden Delight
Yellow Beauty came indoors in the fists of the youngest member of the Human family…
Hittys on Kitty Islet
Climbing up
It was a beautiful sunny day on the weekend, and Tatty and Carline hadn’t been outside for ages, so the human tucked them into her pocket for a trip to the sea shore. They spent a couple of hours being the Hittys of Kitty Islet!
Barnacles
They found some really enormous barnacles clinging to the rocks like stalactites,
Tide Pool
And some little barnacles, mussels, limpets and sea anemones in the tidepools.
wild ducks
A pretty little wild duck scooted past…
Friendly ducks
And two friendly little ducks swam right up looking for some crumbs!
Quack
The ducks started to follow them home, but the Quimper Hitty cupboard is not set up for poultry, so Tatty shoo-ed them away.
Pins and Needles
Pins
Min and Mary Ann collected all the pins in the house for a special job…
Shawl
Blocking the recently completed shawl used pretty much every pin in the house.
Spider
Mary Ann had some extra help from a friend better known for her spinning than her pinning abilities… the human thinks that eight legs could be very useful at times, especially during pinning-out…
Pinhole photograph on Polaroid film
Meanwhile the Quimper Hitty’s favourite photographer was busy with a different project. He assembled an appropriately named Pinhole Camera out of oddments, and took a picture of the girls getting the pins ready. Click here to see his blog post about making the camera.
Weaving in the ends
Min helped to needle-weave the ends in, and then…
Completely Complete!
…what satisfaction for the human! The Quimper Hittys dutifully admired the enormous thing, but hope the human will now get her smaller knitting needles out and recommence making Hitty-sized creations.
