    greenpixey your witch is so neat, I really love it.

    I love the alan dart patterns too, I have a baby pearl and a christmas gnome knitted but just can't find the enthusiasm to sew them together. Maybe this year:rotfl:
    On the website there is a free pattern for an egg and chick, it's a pdf download. Quite cute. I'll put it on the easter thread too.

    This is just so amazingly cute if you crochet, I had to post it, he's just gorgeous.

    It's only available just for today though so be quick, pattern changes tomorrow.

    Would this one do? You'd have to pay $1.35 though. The free penguin pattern site at https://www.free-penguin.org seems to have been hijacked or something!

    This is a cute and easy gift idea for a baby gift, filled with cotton wool balls, dummies, to put in a baby hamper or fill with sweets for the new Mum http://www.handprintsonthewall.org/2008/07/22/cute-baby-food-jar-craft/
    Pucker up and kiss it Whoville! - The Grinch:kiss:
  • Buddybonthenet I agree about it being hijacked, I am gutted as it looks really cute from the short glances you see of it. Will take a look at the one you've given me though, thanks x
