Ann, they are lovely.

I've never really tried toys. Are they easy? Do they take long?

Hi
Janine
they are Jean Greenhowe patterns and are very easy to knit, they take me a while, because I have arthritis in my neck after a fall and can't knit for long without a break, but they are so easy to do, and make lovely Christmas presents.

They look great Ann. I have made a lot of Jean Greenhowe's toys too. They are fun to do and watch grow aren't they?

Hi Cheryl
you should try them they are so easy to do, the only bit I don't like is doing the eyes, have many goes at that they often look cross eyed to start with but I get there in the end. Got most of my patterns at car boot sales or local charity shops.the smaller toys use up all the left over wool.

hi Jane
Thanks, do you find you have trouble parting with them, have you seen the free pattern on Jean Greenhowe's site, for Easter eggs, they shouldn't take too long to do,

Hi Ann - trouble parting with them? I have a black plastic bag full of them upstairs! So far I have parted with 2 scarecrows, 3 rabbits, a cinderella doll and rose & ivy topsy turvy doll. I still have a fireman, a ballerina, a scotty dog, 6 rainbow babies, Santa and a snowman. I'll take some photos soon. I haven't seen the eggs, I'll have to go and have a look.
