May I introduce Lancelot.

He has three fine qualities.

Firstly, because my attention span is just too short at the moment to knit for long, so I am missing out on the comforting feeling of something soft in my hands, Lancelot keeps his coat in such good condition (he is a very proud Lion) that he is wonderfully soft to stroke.

Secondly, being a Knight of the Round Table and I really should call him Sir Lancelot I know anything I tell him will be kept secret and he will share my woes and troubles without letting the cat out of the bag.

Thirdly, ‘close your ears Lancelot’ Lancelot has enjoyed perhaps one or two feasts at the Kings invitation and is just a little rotund. Which makes him wonderful to cuddle and soothes my poorly tummy.
