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.

In the second reading, we walk by faith and not by sight. Also we should want to leave the body and go to heaven. That sounds good to me! In the gospel Jesus tells parables to teach…
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.
