Most self respecting knitters would never think of knitting a toilet dolly, however I got to thinking that they do have their merits, what else would you have the excuse to use all the plastic, glittery, furry, tacky yarns that your inner self secretly desires?
Or you could if you felt the need turn the humble toilet dolly into a work of art
So here is the chance you have been waiting for, you can now make a toilet dolly without any guilty feelings - :-)
