Merriam Webster defines parliament as a “the group of people who are responsible for making the laws in some kinds of government.” They seem to have forgotten that a group of owls is also known as a parliament. I could really ramble on about the irony of the “wise old owl” and any part of government, but I will not.
This past Christmas, my dad asked me to knit him a hat and scarf. He was very surprised when I delivered. Since Friday is the first day of spring, I thought I better post it before it got any warmer.
My friend’s son is obsessed with all things Mario. She asked me to knit up this cute mushroom for him. Since I am always looking for something to knit, I quickly jumped at the chance.
While it is beginning to warm up here in Florida, some parts of the country still have snow. At only three and a half inches, these miniature snowmen are sure to be a big hit.
I had a little monkey, his name was Tiny Tim… Are you familiar with this nursery rhyme? It is one my hubby has taught me. Tiny Tim is the perfect name for this little guy, as he is less than 4 inches tall. 
I found this free pattern here on Ravelry. I used #3 needles and less than 45 yards of worsted weight yarn. He is knitted flat and then sewn together. I changed the eyes by using 6/0 glass beads instead of embroidering them as the pattern recommended.
Happy Knitting
I had a little monkey; his name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water. He ate up all the soap.
Now my little monkey, has a bubble in his throat.
