As I mentioned in a previous post, Royal Knits was among my wonderful birthday presents.
The patterns range from the decorative…
… to the practical.
There are small, quick projects…
… and larger, more challenging ones (with bad puns in the title).
And there are some that are downright bizzare…
There are corgi slippers, egg cosies, a royal breakfast including blood pudding, and a beanie with giant sticky-out ears. The book was published in 1987, when Royal Fever must have been getting a little tiresome and a book like this would have appealed to the enthusiast as well as the cynic. I love it for the sheer silliness of the patterns. (But no, I’m not going to be knitting any of them. Though that beanie is tempting…)
Even though I am a republican, I love that book. How fabulous!!!! Knit something, please. Knit a sporran, or the sticky-out eared beanie. Thanks for posting the pictures!!
Oooh, I'd be very tempted to knit the sporran.
What a cute idea for a coffee table book.
I think a royal sporran would be just the thing…
