From knitted snakes to PM and back to the floorboards! <br />You are in great form whipping up those little knitted beauties - dare I say, much nicer than the real thing. We found a big carpet snake trying to get friendly with my baby chickens during the week. We were nice,and blocked off the spot he had managed to find his way into.
