Gerbil Knits

This is how I spend my free time.....knitting, knitting and more knitting. I learned how to knit during the 2004 NCAA basketball tournament, and is still my favorite time for mass knitting!

Bubba's birthday present


So....what do you knit a 1 year old....well obviously finger puppets. The pattern is from www.knitty.com

I like to think of them as an elephant, a bear in a sweater (you know b/c they get cold) and a panda (a red panda to be specific)
