Today’s item is a knitted snowman hugging a gift card. Design by Lily / Sugar’n Cream. Using Premier Just Yarn and 3.25 mm knitting needles, this was fun to make. I didn’t like the arms of the card holder. I made other snowmen that just have a pocket, not arms. The Just Yarn is at Dollar Tree for $5/lb of yarn.

Today’s toy is out of order because I wanted to include it for Easter. The toy is a crocheted container in the shape of a bunny gnome. The pattern is by Olga Chemerys. I used Big Twist in white and Soft Secret yarn in pink and butter. I put candy in it and gave it…
Today’s toy is a knitted chicken from Esther Braithwaite. I saw the picture on Pinterest and had to make it. Using my soft secret leftovers and a 0 (2 mm) knitting needle it was a quick make as are all of her patterns. I plan to make the mallard duck as well.

Today’s toy is a bluebird of happiness knitted with Bernat blanket yarn and size 5 mm needles. This design is by Sara Elizabeth Kellner. I had to add the accents to the bird, the lines for wings and beak and the legs/feet because it just looked like a blue blob. Not happy with the yarn…
a very whimsical bunny by Sayjai Thawornsupacharoen. I used the same yarn I have been using, the Charisma 10 ply Aran. I put pipe cleaners into the ears, but didn’t stuff them. This pattern is for crochet, but I modified it for knitting. That’s why it is shorter. I need to knit more rounds next…
