Lil' bunny kisses for sale!

This little guy is for sale in my 2nd Etsy shoppe, my sample shop. I named him Stanley and he comes with a birth certificate too. A perfect little gift to tuck inside a holiday stocking, peeking out at you.

He measures about 8-inches tall from his toes to the tip of his ears. He was first knit using 100% wool and felted down to a tight, nubby boiled-wool texture, great for cuddling and durable too. Stanley has black glass eyes, but I can change them out for yarn ones, if desired. I do recommend yarn eyes for small children for fear of swallowing.

In fact, if you want a different name and birth date, that is easy to accommodate. Who does he look like to you?

Tomorrow, I will be pleased to introduce you to his sister, Andrea, a little white bunny, slightly smaller than Stanley, but just as cuddly.

The already-knitted bunnies are just the start of something new for me. I am hoping to create an array of little guys and gals dressed in hand-knit outfits. I hope to sell them outright to proud customers like yourself. I feel like a kid again, playing with my dolls and stuffed animals. 

In 2022, I am hoping to complete my story (which I have started) about these little woodland critters. In addition I want to finish designing patterns for 3 more characters: fox, raccoon and badger. 

Go to my 2nd Etsy shoppe and check out these two little bunny siblings. While you're there, look around, I have lots of other whimsical samples for sale, just in time for your holiday giving!

Happy knitting!

the weather outside is frosty!

The weather outside is frightful, but knitting inside is delightful! Wouldn't you agree? This little guy captures the feel of winter around the country. Enjoy a little winter fun without all the cold and wet, knit a pincushion or two for your favorite winter enthusiasts, complete with decorative clay pins.

My Roly-Poly Snowman Pincushion pattern is available PDF format only. It is a knit and felt pattern, knit in one continuous piece, no sewing or piecing required. I love this guy and hope you will too!

Happy knitting!
