i have a new facebook page...

- the first 10 likes add a comment below this post too, so I know - can pick a pattern of their choice! - it's here https://www.facebook.com/DotPebbles - I just want to check that it's working!

... and now for something completely different...

... well kind of different - I just liked the title - I have designed something similar to these, remember the reindeer trophy? These are my fairground pony trophies and they are available in pattern form as pdf from here -
p.s did you know that you can still purchase Ravelry patterns and not be a Ravelry member - just found that out!
COOL!

a Christmas bunny maybe?

believe it or not this is the same pattern as the donkey one yesterday - see below - but with these changes: - I used an aran yarn - pure wool one because I felted him - with 4.5mm (US 7) needles and when i sewed the arms and legs on I stitched them nearer the back than on the sides of the body (there are about 7 sts on the bunny back between the fore legs for example) and of course a pompom tail to replace the knitted one...
