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!

Presenting: Eloise the Elephant

I am not listing Eloise tonight because I need better lighting but I was so excited to finish her that I at least wanted to post some sort of picture. So here she is!

More new critters!

Finished the moose this morning but he still needs a name, as does the blue monkey (also finished this morning. Any suggestions?

What's new

Thanks to Raynor Gellatly of Jelly Bums I now have a super cute moose pattern. He's mostly done...just needs a tail, and one more ear and arm.

I'm almost done with a monkey the same color as Duke the Dog ...should be up at least on here in a day or two.

I finally got my hippo commissions finished,

as well a Daisy Dog to join Duke!

The long awaited dog

Its not done yet...if you look you'll notice its missing an arm. But since I was talking about it I wanted to post a picture anyway. Haven't settled on a name just yet but I am leaning towards the suggestion of Duke.

Newest Critter

So...I was messing around with some partially made stuffed animals (just the body with legs). I had two of them and was being goofy. I randomly stuck some eyes on it and thought, hey...add some arms and it would be a little alien critter or something.



Haven't done that, but Nathan (my boyfriend) suggested doing an octopus instead...so, here she is...Odette Octopus (made with yarn from an unravelled sweater)
