Hi Jane... thanks xxx

Hi Terra,I've been wondering where you were.hope you are ok..nice to see you back if only for a short while...I can see you are going to very busy looking after the
Macscarecrow family,along with Truffle and Conker to keep an eye on them too..and paws....good to have some help..
Great blog,and lovely prizes..well done X

I was wondering where you too you were so lucky to win those prizes think they were made for you :-)

What fantastic prizes! Almost seem made for you. Whoever made the MacScarecrow clan was very skilled, naturally my favourite is the westie. Your boys and your garden are looking wonderful too:-))

A very cheerful blog TT ... nice to see you again :o)

Stoppit, you're killing me, Terra!
I've laughed so much I've pulled my back again.
Great blog!

I think you've probably lost your marbles Tt but very very entertaining!!!
Nice to hear from you ...was wondering where you'd got to!

Wonderful blog as usual Tt.....Thank you

What a colourful family! Whoever made them is a very talented knitter! Glad they've made themselves at home with you Terra! ;o)))

Lovely blog, nice to hear from you Terratoonie, take care!

Great blog, TT, and what lovely prizes. Conker and Truffle are so good not to shake the MacScarecrow clan to pieces - Millie would. Hope you are all well, take care :)

Hello Terra, it's lovely to see you. What amazingly appropriate prizes you won! They are by far the sweetest knitted characters I've ever seen......and the dog is just like Molly...in fact, I think they are the MacFraser scarecrow clan....there's me with the knitting bag! Lol! Great blog!

That was fun TT- nice to see you. Someone certainly is talented to have knitted that lovely family. The little dog has to be my favourite too, tho' not quite as cute as Conker and Truffle.

Hi TT, nice to see you back again! The dogs look as healthy as ever, too! :-))

What wonderful prizes you won - the trowel & fork will serve you in good stead for many, many years to come! Doubtless they will be used very often!

What super prizes and so you TT!! love your blog what a mischievious clan the MacScarecrows are, such a good job your boys are there to help you keep them in check! still chuckling xxxx :o)

I love it TT....what a wonderful 'new' family you have to look after now, no wonder you don't have time to be on Goy!! I love the Macscarecrows, haven't they been made beautifully? Take care now and dip in and out when you can :)

Tt , what larks !
You're going to have to keep your eye on that lot !
Thank you , great fun .

Glad to see youTT with one of your fun blogs on, so cheering, and what a prize to win!! perfect TT and so well deserved too......

Great Tt love it, you could make the pics and story into a childrens book....:)) its so good.....

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. :o)

The knitted MacScarecrow Clan characters are extremely well-made ...
... must have taken many hours of careful knitting !

Great prizes Terra, someone must have spent ages knitting all those colourful characters and Conker and Truffle will be so busy keeping a check on them to protect all your plants, so good with their handling of the little Macscarecrows and their furry friend.
Lovely blog and photo's, I love their names, made me smile as they seem so right, lol, keep your spirits up Terra and hoping to see you soon.....

Hi Sue ...

thank you ... we had fun !

After I won the MacScarecrow Clan,
I found their knitting patterns on the internet ..
www.jeangreenhowe.com/macscarecrow.html

The names of all the characters are there ...
... interesting website to browse :o)

I knitted a lot of Jean Greenhowe's characters years ago, TT, for my grandchildren and then for various charity events. They are easy to follow patterns but very time consuming. Well worth the effort though :)

Hi Gee .. I can imagine the hours of work !

Can you see how well your Jack Frost is doing, next to Great Uncle Angus .. ?
.. thanks so much. :o) x

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing
your new family with us all.

Well done on your prizes Terra ... they couldn't have been more suitable for you! Conker and Truffle look wonderful too ... :o)

Lovely prizes Terra, well done on winning them, take care :-)

Jack Frost has done well, TT. Mine was attacked by slugs so badly that I potted it and now it looks much better :)

TT - that wis guid!!
The MacScarecrows look richt at hame in yir gairdin!

Missed you, TT, and fingers crossed that all wrinkles will be ironed out very soon.

Lovely blog! are the Clan weatherproof, or do they only come out when it's dry? I hate knitting, was forced to do it as a kid, and kept stretching it to make it grow longer! Prefer crochet, it graws faster, being mostly holes. I can't imagine how much time, care and effort went into making the Clan.

thought: could you give the link to this blog to the hospital, and ask them to pass it on to the person who made and donated the Clan? I'm sure they'd be delighted to see how they're getting on!

Thanks everyone for your very kind words ...
The MacScarecrows have settled in well ...
they all have strong Scottish accents ;o)

Fran...
I can imagine you stretching your knitting Lol.

Good idea about the Clan ... I emailed the final photo of 'everyone safe' to one of the organisers of
the raffle. I hope the person who did such lovely knitting knows how much it is appreciated.

I love it! Very entertaining and loads of fun.

Sorry to be late for the party........but I'm here now!

Its my very favorit blog

\0/ \0/ \0/. three cheers fot Team Terra xxx

Fran, have a look at Deramores.....its an online knitting supplier that I find good. They have free patterns to download for crochet as well as knitting, and good offers on yarn too

thanks Pam, I'll look them up right away

Fran .. I forgot to answer one of your questions ..
Clan not weatherproof ... they live indoors ... :o)

lol TT, I didn't think they would be - of course, they could be dipped in something but that'd probably ruin them.

:) can imagine them on the windowsill, wistfully looking out and wondering when they'll be allowed out to play ...

The clan couldn't have gone to a better home, and the rest of the prize was great too - very desirable and so well deserved. Sorry to hear you have problems just now - hoe they will soon be sorted.

your so clever you will soon solve it

lol TT, if wishes were horses, you'd have a whole herd heading your way!

Late on the scene as usual and very pleased to see you back with such a clever entertaining blog TT. Conker and Truffle are very refined dogs not to harm the lovely knitted scarecrow family. Hope your affairs are soon resolved.

I'm even later! Why am I not notified by GoY when any of my faves puts on a blog or pic. How can I hope to keep up!
Anyway, gt blog & yes beautiful knitting( deserves to be kept away from the "boys" I think. I have been wondering what you have all been up to this lovely summer, dog shows etc.Hope your probs are resolved soon.

Thanks Dorjac and Feverfew ..
I hope to be able to spend more time on GoY soon.

Hi Homebird ..
thanks for visiting the MacScarecrows xxx

I still can't get over the intricateness (is that a word?) of the design, nor how well the creator made them, As someone whose "fine stitching" is someone else's tacking, I stand awed and envious!

I agree, Fran ..
currently I have the clan perched on my stairs landing, and every time I walk by, the neatness of the stitches looks remarkable !

lol if you can, and if they agree, can we have more pics of the family?

I'll make a blog over the winter featuring the MacScarecrows... and maybe I'll include the new fluffy toy dog from my latest blog too ... Lol.

oh, please!!!!!!! *s*

:o)))
