This was thought up when I received a gorgeous skein of luxury sock yarn for Christmas from my husband.

Puppet pieces are knitted flat and then seamed into shape, and each puppet has a sleeve with arms that fits the hand and then a stuffed head giving it shape. These pieces are all based on the same pattern.

A cute and fun game of Tic-Tac-Toe.

The barrel pieces are worked in the amigurumi style, without turning or joining each round with a slip stitch. It is recommended to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round.

An excellent pattern for beginner to intermediate crocheters. Why wait for the snow to create your own snowmen!

A cute and simple cat toy.

I designed this for Hotter Comfort Concept Shoes after designing a larger version originally.

An easy slip stitch pattern combined with garter stitch makes a lovely warm cowl. Worked in chunky weight yarn the slipped stitches really stand out.

Gauge is not important as cowl can be made smaller or larger depending on how many stitches are cast on and how many rows are completed.
