Admittedly the sewing up and the hand puppet had to wait until I was home again, but they’ll be packed and ready for the postman soon. (God bless Click and Drop!)

No woozles alas!

Farmor15, they’re going to Knit for Nowt, who send them off to children’s therapists - there’s always a waiting list. Big El is a worry-eater.

Thanks everybody!

They are so cute. Beautifully made and finished. You must be very clever. Much nicer than most of the soft toys you see in the shops these days.

Do you use a circular knitting machine as that is what I used in many of the knitted toys I made for our grandson and even our granddaughter loved the knitted dolls I made for her.

No, just a pair of 4mms and mostly double DK for these. I’m not even very good with circular needles! Your creations must have been lovely!

Thank you! They don’t go to any individual child, though - they are used by therapists during their sessions, and according to the feedback, are immensely helpful. My big elephant is a worry-eater (same as all the big items I make) - there is a deep mouth pocket under his trunk.
