Hi everyone

I thought I'd get all my knitted toys out to see what I'd made...I took a photo and thought I'd put it online.

I've also got 3 more boxes of clothes/hats/bags etc that I've made.

Liz

Hi Liz
they are brilliant,what are you going to do with them all?
Ann

Thanks Ann

I sometimes sell them at craft fairs. I need to do something because I'm running out of room! I have boxes full of yarn and boxes full of things I've made!

Liz

Hi
Liz,
mine are stored in bags, boxes, and now under the beds,people will buy them, buy really want them for pennies, theres a lot of work in knitting toys, people don't realise that.

When I do sell them they are pretty much at cost...I love making them and I can't imagine not knitting something.

They are really lovely! I keep seeing people's toys on here and think I must give it a go, but I've really nowhere to keep them, so what would I do when they were finished and I couldn't bear to part with them?!

They are lovely Liz.

Hi Liz, they are brilliant!

I tend to only make them to order now or as presents or to raise money for charity. Like Liz says, it's difficult getting a realistic price for them but like you Liz, I just love making them. I've just finished another rabbit for a friend and now I'm making mice to fill with catnip to raise money for the United Kingdom Ragdoll Cat Charity.

This is the Alan Dart mermaid, I used what was left in my stash rather than the yarn in the pattern and I'm rather pleased with her.

She's lovely! How long did it take you?

Thank you. I was really nervous about embroidering her face...don't know why.

She didn't take long to make. I knitted her in a couple of evenings and made her up in 1 evening.

I did realise after I'd made her that I shouldn't have stuffed her fingers but I couldn't be bothered to unpick her and re stuff her arms...I'll remember for next time!

Liz

I've finally got round to putting photos onto my blog. The above photos are on there plus some things I've made before.

Hi

I think she is lovely. I really like the way you have done her hair.

Janet

Your mermaid is lovely

Aww Liz (how are you?)

She is lovely.

Have you looked at esty for an outlet for selling your toys?
