Christmas Toy Patterns

xmascheer

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you could help me with xmas toy patterns? i,m hoping to knit a load and sell the for charity at christmas, but i,m so slow at knitting am starting now so i can get a good few done,
I found a nice Snowman on Jean Greenhowes site--trouble is you needed Abode reader to download and my computors so old--it won,t let me download it--asked friends to do it to word and e-mail me it to print out but they say it won,t save--so i really need help on finding a decent site i can download from-i want proper toys to sell--a lot i have looked at are christmas tree hangers and are very flat--or the things are just ugly lol, i need people to want to buy them, also my knitting skills are only basic so the easier the better,

Also does anyone know where i can get cheap wool--obviouly the cheaper the better as i want to make as much profit for the charity as i can,

I was thinking about asking schools if i could have a table at there fetes etc--does anyone know if theres a fee for this--sorry all the questions but this is my first year at fund raising

Have used the crochet one and it's FANTASTIC. I can't knit though so you'll have to let me know what you think.

Wondered if you had seen the knit your square challenge?

The Jean Greenhowes Mini Christmas Stockings are also easy to make and nice as tree decorations I made these last year and they sold quite well. I got that pattern printed and can copy an post for it you. I know they are not a toy as such but both adults and children came to buy them. They are cute and you can put a small celebration chocolate or something inside

Here are four of them if you want to take a look

Edit: My husband downloaded the Christmas stocking patten for me on his work computer. I'll ask him later if he can try to do the same with the snowman tomorrow for you
