Henry on knitting

I have a very good friend called Henry. I met him on Twitter and he introdused himself as a clever bear from England that can use the computer. I soon learned that he had a go at knitting, something I like a lot. Henry writes his own words, and if you don't get the word at first you can say the sound out loud and it makes sense. Henry says that if the computer desides on his words, it would not be his words! So here is Henry on knitting in his own words;

When did you first knit, and what did you want to make?
i did start to do nittin bowt wun yeer agow. edwud wos dooin th nittin an i fort i wud elp im wen ee wos restin from it.

  1. Great interview! Henry would be a great knitter with the right size needles, but kittens are hopeless at knitting. We discuss this in "Please Send Money" by Cheshire Kitten. You can get the book on etsy!

  3. Henry is so sweet, and I really enjoyed the interview. He is very good at skipping, dancing, singing and making all his anipals feel good, so that doesn't leave much time for knitting.
