Thanks - the pattern is by Alan Dart and I have it in a book called Irrisistable Gifts by Alan Dart.

They do take quite a long time to make but they are sweet. Although they are all knitted to the same pattern the are all different!

I am hoping they will sell well again this year at my craft fairs.

I think this is a wonderful gift idea for a wee child who is at that age where they are about to loose their first teeth;

This week I had some fab friends round to make some Christmas things - although it appeared to be mainly hearts in the end and probably more fitting for Valentines day - feel that love :j



One of my favourites Purple Reigndeer plus poop

Im making a pom pom scarf. If it turns out ok then I might make one for my sister :j. Im using the clover pom pom makers so the pom poms are turning out ok but Im not sure how Im going to attach all the pom poms together ? and also I had one pom pom that had to be binned because the wool I tied round it didn't hold it well enough so think I would be better using a stronger item than wool.

Does anyone have any ideas for what I could use both to attach the pom poms together and something strong enough to ensure the pom pom doesn't fall apart when I remove it from the pom pom maker ?? ?

I have been really tempted by the snood scarfs on the aso$ website but am making my own instead ! (well making the pom pom scarf as an alternative!!)

This evening I've made some christmas deccies and name place holders using white clay (fimo) and some stampers. Tomorrow I'll sand the edges down to smarten them up and add ribbon.
