Today’s toy is a knitted elephant by Jean Greenhowe. Using Lion brand, Red Heart yarn, and size 3 needles, this was a joy. The Ice Cream yarn stripes, so that was easy. The feet were cleverly crafted that I might use in future designs. I put a pipe cleaner in the trunk so it is…
Today’s toy is the knitted winter mouse by Jean Greenhowe. Using Hobbii’s rainbow 8/4 cotton, Sheepjes catona, and size 2 needles, this was a joy to make. Love making toys that are Christmas themed. The thing she is holding is a package.
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.
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 love the feet with the blanket yarn. The Lion Brand yarn is self striping and does have pink, but it…
Today’s toy is a small crocheted doll that is dressed as Snow White. Design by beary_bearnita on @threads. I used acrylic yarn from Amazon and a 3 mm hook. It turned out well. Nice size. I could not get the hair to lay flat.

Today’s toy is a knitted mouse, design by Jean Greenhowe. I love these mice, so when a podcaster started a “mouse” themed make along, I had to knit them. There is one for each season. I am also participating in another make along to stitch your library which means to pick a pattern from your…
Today’s toy is a crocheted doll. This pattern is by Sevgili Ilmkler. Using Jubilee Yarn bamboo cotton sport, Sheepjes Cato a, Yarn Art Jeans, and 2 mm hook, the body of the doll was much smaller than the shoes and jumper. Next time I will use the same yarn. The hair took forever!
Today’s toy is a crocheted pig. Designed by Lonemer creations. Using Big Twist plush and Yarn Art Jeans and a 4 mm hook, this was my third version of the pattern, first using bulky yarn. I love the brown on the light pink for the facial features.
Today’s toy is a crocheted monkey lovey. The pattern is by Crochet at Teri’s. Great pattern using a hexagon to turn into a leg and arm. I will use this body again. Not a good idea to use such a bulky yarn for the feet and hands. Using Mainstays cozy chenille and Big Twist and…
