Knitter Critters!

Thanks to everyone who participated in helping me name my stuffed animals. The win goes to The Mad Tatter with the the suggestion of Knitter Critters. It just rolls off the tongue and I've been using it in my head for a few days.

Anyway...in Knitter Critter news, I've just purchased three more patterns from Jellybum....a beaver, a mouse and a goat! I'm very excited to try them out. Which reminds me, I still owe my gramma a raccoon now that I've figured out how to do the face properly. Must get on that soon.

Apparently I'm back on a stuffed animal kick

When I first started knitting the Jellybums critters (for which I'm trying to find my own name for right now...thanks for everyone who has posted suggestions) I went on a bit of a rampage making them and ended up burning out on making small things for a few months. Finally after making two shawls, a sweater, a a hat and some other odds and ends I am finally back in little knit mode. My mom requested three for the babies of co-workers (I did twin monkeys for the twins, blue and pink and I'm working on another pink monkey) I must have started the pieces of a moose before I went down in flames, so all he has left is I think the arms and one leg.

I don't remember when I would have told my cousins kids about the stuffed animals but I must have because all the girls have asked for one for Christmas. I'll knit ones for the boys too so they aren't left out. Just have to figure out the colors and critters. Trying not to duplicate for anyone!  I'm making some for a few other Christmas gifts as well..can't name names just in case. I've got my work cut out for me.

Just have to keep other bigger projects on the side for when I want to do "extreme knitting" the little stuff requires too much attention and just doesn't show up on camera quite so well!

NAMING CONTEST

Here's the deal. Not everything I make has some part of it that is recycled, repurposed or reused. Some things are just fun knitted things. Mostly stuffed animals. I want a good name for when I sell those (ie Made by Second Chance Creations and *blank* or something like that)

This will run until the end of this month unless I find the perfect name before then. Whoever submits the winning name will recieve one of my knitted critters like this gal
