Over the Rainbow
The Wizard of Oz is one of those classic stories everybody is familiar with. It is such a wonderful story that I simply had to knit these little characters using all the colours of the rainbow!
And speaking of rainbows… the all-too-familiar song from this story just popped into my head… try not to sing it, I dare you!
