May 15: owl
Today’s toy is another knitted owl from my design. Using Hobbii’s honey bunny candy, it made a much larger toy. I used 4 mm needles. I enjoy making birds. The beak was edged in white so it would be visible.

June 16: autumn mouse
Today’s toy is a knitted mouse from Jean Greenhowe. Using Hobbii’s friends 8/4 cotton and Scheepjes catona and size 2 needles, this was fun to make. Many pieces to sew on and I fluffed out the cotton with a wire brush. That was painful to my fingers.
