Before breakfast - by order of the Grandmother - mini - Ice Creams!

Then it's a little telly with cereal and milk.

 Remy always has something he needs 'Peepee' to do for him when he comes to visit...  this time it was French Knitting.  I haven't done this since I was a child but I do have plenty of 'Spools'... one a very original!   I do not remember ever making anything from all the French Knitting I did when a child, I wonder what happened to it??

 Love the last sentence from Wiki!  very interesting.

From Wiki.
Spool knitting, corking, French knitting or tomboy knitting is a form of knitting that uses a spool with a number of nails around the rim to produce a narrow tube of fabric, similar to i-cord. Spool knitting is a traditional way to teach children the basic principles of knitting.

Spool knitters typically have four or five pegs (or brass nails), although can also range from sixteen to more than one hundred. [1]

Many things can be made from the resulting tube e.g. it can be wound in a spiral to produce a mat or rug, or if a larger spool with more nails in is used, a sock or a hat could be made. Spool knitting has also been used historically to make horse reins.

These ladies faces are just a tad different I guess they were hand painted long ago.

This was one of our Lunches... The Love Heart and Star cheese was the first eaten :-)

Funny waves for Peepee's camera!
