I LOVE IT! I have recently taken up knitting, again, and this is a project that I simply MUST do!

It is hilarious, though.

Actually, I think my favourite is the royal corgi :) Cute!

I'm guessing Michy is talking about this piece of memorabilia- one of a couple of Kate-and-William paper doll books. You name it, it's a possibility as a royal souvenir.

Have to say the woolly socks knock points off William's sexy image :) (or are they shoes...)
