Today’s toy is a knitted cat. It is my design. Using Hobby Lobby’s adore-a-ball and size 3 needles, I tried to knit a chubby cat with nothing to sew on. The feet are knitted bobbles.

Today’s toy is a knitted whale. The pattern is by Jean Greenhowe. Using Craft star acrylic yarn and size 0 needles, this is rather small. I like the construction. Maybe next time I will add wire so it can be posed.
Today’s toy is a knitted elephant. Using Big Twist in purple marl and a 2 mm needles, this pattern was fun to make. I love the trunk being raised. Floral stones are in the feet to help it stand. Love the color!
