Easter and woolen eggs..........

• Well Spring seems to have abandoned us (obviously it's upset about something) but no reason not to enjoy Easter.......especially eating dangerously large amounts of Easter eggs :) 
  But if you can't eat chocolate, here are some lovey woolen eggs which you can knit ..........so to celebrate Easter and the beginning of spring (when it eventually decides to turn up) here's a pattern for yummy Easter Eggs.
