(Grandma & Grandma)

Let the cliches loose!

In swedish there are two words for granma, mormor (mums mum) for the gran on your mothers side and farmor (dads mum) for the grandmother on your dads side. Avoids confusion.
Thanks to cuphook [link] for suggesting I make my sockmonkey twins, they are twins, and also grandmothers to the same child, explain that if you can!
The details I like the most are the hairy moles, embroidery varicose veins on their legs spelling out their names and the sofa I made them which has a structure partly from Barbara Cartland novels. And the rouge I brushed on their cheeks for that special perfumy, powdery smell.
The granma in blue is of course the farmor.
The knit represent family (if you want this to be pretentious and have deep meaning)
This is where they live:[link]

I will have a few copies of this laminated and sent to noreallyimsuperwoman [link]
for the Super Duper Gangs Guerilla Art project, so she can hang them up in Farnham, Surrey, UK or where ever she sees fit

Ahhh... you should have made them conjoined twins. Anyway, you did a hell of a good job as usual!

So cool! I was going to ask you the other night what had happened to the twins- I must have sensed their completeness. Superb knitting going on there! I was in a coffeeshop this afternoon and there was a man in the corner knitting and all the seats round about were uninhabited- like a wilderness of fear with tumbleweed blowing through it. If it was these two sitting there I would have introduced myself.
How tall are the twins? I see that they're mirror twins- I was wondering about Farmor's mole. They look like they understand eachother completely.

ps. If anyone's dad's mum and their mum's mum are twins the family needs to get out more.
