Lurking behind a washtub, sneaking bits of shepherd’s pie when no one is looking, the Scullery Cat lives out his nine lives as best he can.

This is a tiny version of my regular Parlor Cat pattern.

This personable French Bulldog came into being from a contest that was held in the Rabbit Hole Knits group, where the contest winner (mkrupp) got to choose what my next design would be.

All the cuteness of a real squirrel, without all the trouble.

Otters just wanna have fun! :-)

Owen’s Opossum is knit in the round, and measures 12 inches long if you don’t count his tail. He sits on his back legs, has a little pink nose, and little pink toes on each of his four feet. Darned if he aint irresistible. :-)

Stormy Dawn is the fastest hobby horse in town. A simple pattern which is knit in the round, it is very similar to a sock. The ears are also knit in the round which enables them to stand straight up, and the only seaming is stitching them to the head.

Although transportation evolved quickly during the Victorian era, walking, for many people, remained a favorite pastime in nice weather.
