mamas and babies


Most of the photos for the Festive Knits book are now in the set. I'm really pleased with them, and hope you like them too! I seem to have a slight mama and baby theme going, but who can blame me for having that on my mind these past months? I especially like the mama bunny - she's the same size as the big teddy, and so cuddly! She does take a lot of yarn, but because it's thick yarn, she knits up really quickly. Plus, the big polar bear's sweater and the big teddy overalls will fit her, so now you have more clothing options for the bigger toys.

Okay, I need to go do some proof-reading before my niece wakes up from her nap. Hope you're all having a lovely day!

I love them all - good work. And the baby-mama theme is absolutely cute. I know so many kids would love a baby and a mommy plush animal set

Wow! Where can I find Polar Bear sweater with snowflake on it? Or better yet, Santa's robe? They're so cute! Can it be purchased now? Thanks!

While surfing on the Net, I came across your blog/website... you surprised me with all these cutie pies! One question here before I BUY!! Are they all knitted on straight needle or dpns! I don't know how to do dpns so I wanna check before I buy. HELP!!

Most of my patterns are knitted on straight needles. To check specific patterns, check out my Etsy shop, as each pattern should include a list of the required materials.
