Today’s toy is a knitted bird that I designed. Using Lion Brand ice cream roving, Bernat blanket yarn, and size 3 needles, this bird is so fun to make in any weight of yarn.

I then thought it would be fun to add fabric to the ears…

Today’s crocheted toy is little cat from Julia Litvin. Using Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Yarn ID in Rosewater and a 3 mm hook, I crocheted the arms and knitted an icord for the tail before I made the body. That way, I could attach the arms and tail as I was crocheting the body. I…
Today’s toy is a knitted mouse. The design is by Jean Greenhowe. She designed four mice, one for each season. Using Hobbii’s cotton 8/4 and size 2 needles, this mouse was fun to make even though I frown on the “bridal” theme. Jean said to use a colored pencil for the inside of the rose…
