Christmas always seems just around the corner…

Get ready to knit this adorable fluffy pink elephant! Eloise’s outfit of choice is a lemon-coloured t-shirt, orange pinafore and stylish Mary-Jane shoes. You often see her on her way to the market with her little mesh shopping bag for added cuteness. Don’t forget the finishing touch of a floral headband to complete the look. Happy knitting!

About a year ago, I had this crazy idea to knit an alphabet of under-represented creatures and promptly started out with ‘A is for Axolotl’. Life got in the way, but I’m still determined to finish my alphabet… even if it takes me a decade (or two). Anyway, I’m proud to present to you… (drumroll please!): ‘B is for Blue Footed Booby’. This quirk...

Get ready to embrace the festive spirit of the season with the lovable Greg the Christmas goat! ¬ is charming little guy will bring a touch of holiday cheer to your home with his stripy jumper and trendy grey boots. His vibrant red trousers bring his whole ensemble together. Be warned though… there’s nothing Greg loves more than a Christmas Pud...

Christmas is just around the corner which means knitters all over the world are working double time to get those last WIPs finished.

The leaves are beginning to change colour and the temperature is dropping. Maurice could sense that Autumn was here and quickly dusted off his best coat and walking boots. After all, this little mouse loves nothing more than to take long walks through the woods on a crisp morning, feeling the crunch of leaves underneath his feet while scavengin...

When my budding zoologist requested a squishy pig for his 11th birthday, how could I resist? He was over the moon when he opened his present and promptly named him ‘Mr Bacon’! … followed by a request to watch Babe and Charlotte’s Web.

Easter is just around the corner and this means it is the perfect excuse to knit up another bunny!

My boys seem to have fallen in love with axolotls. I wasn’t quite ready to take the leap and start keeping these salamanders as pets, so I knitted them each an axolotl for Christmas. I must admit, they were well received (even by my 14 year old!)

In my opinion, the best thing about Autumn is pumpkins! I just adore these huge orange vegetables and often end up feeding my family pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie until they’re well and truly pumpkinned-out! I wanted to up the ante this year and added a pumpkin doll to the Autumnal madness. I can’t help but smile every time I see him sitting on ...

There’s just something so mesmerizing about sloths. Both my boys adore these

A new school year is just around the corner and I can’t wait to watch the leaves take on their autumnal colours. After a scorching hot summer, the crisp breezes and sudden showers will make for a welcome change. And even better yet, it means it is time to start on those warmer projects to keep everyone toasty in the coming season. Desmond the D...

In 1952, King George VI passed away and his daughter became Queen Elizabeth II. Now in 2022, she has been on the throne for 70 years, longer than any other monarch in the United Kingdom. This will be celebrated with a royal jubilee in June. My local heritage centre is hosting a jubilee party and my little queen doll will be on display there for...

Spring time seems to sneak up on me every year… and thanks to the British weather, then swiftly disappears again! My boys love getting our little garden ready for Spring and are always keen to pick out which seeds we should plant. I hope these little Spring time gnomes will inspire my seedlings and help them grow big and strong!

2022 is the year of the tiger according to the Chinse zodiac. I really didn’t need a better excuse to knit this little guy! Tucker the tiger looks dashing in his bamboo textured jumper, light grey trousers and trainers.

After I knitted Noel the Christmas bear, it only seemed fitting that he got a little friend!

Nothing says Christmas like a Christmas jumper… so why not knit up a Teddy in a Christmas jumper to start of this festive season?

Autumn is such a magical time of the year. It washes away the last remnants of summer with plenty of cold, wet showers and brings along the promise of chilly winter nights snuggled under blankets with a cup of hot chocolate!

Summer time always seems to disappear in the blink of an eye. I admit, it isn’t my favourite season as I don’t tolerate the heat very well, but it is nice having that special time to spend with my ever-growing boys. When I think of summer, I always think of sunflowers. Those beautiful yellow giants that sprout from tiny little seeds with the he...

Raising two boys, I never really get the opportunity to knit many unicorns.

Sometimes you simply need to knit something silly… And these cute little bunny buddies are exactly that! My boys have gone mad over these little gems and I’m sure they’ll brighten up anyone’s day. The best part about these, is that they knit up really quickly and require very little yarn. The perfect tashbusters for those leftover bits of yarn ...

Chinese New Year is just around the corner and 2021 is the year of the Ox. I wanted to commemorate this occasion by knitting a cute little ox toy in an adorable little out t. I chose to knit him in a red tunic as this is a lucky colour according to Chinese culture…. which I think was a wise choice as we all need a little luck this year!

Sometimes you just need a quick little project to use up those little left over bits of yarn and to take a break from the umpteen unfinished projects you have on the go. I’m sure that’s not just me ;)

December is just around the corner and as if by magic, the temperature has suddenly dropped! Every year my boys wish for snow to arrive before Christmas but very rarely does it happen… and when it does, it’s often not enough for a snowman. Luckily, I managed whip up this little fellow with my trusted knitting needles :)

According to my youngest son, it was about time I knitted a new gnome. He had clear instructions in mind! This time, the gnome had to be huge, with a longer fluffier beard and legs… Who am I to turn down such a cute request? And here’s the end result! I hope you like him as much as my little Taylan does.

It has been a crazy year so far and I’m sure we’re all itching to put that Christmas tree up and call an end to the madness of 2020… (even my husband has already been buying Christmas baubles and he usually moans at me for putting the tree up early!)

Working as a teacher, I find myself retelling fairy tales quite often. Children love the familiarity and repetitiveness of these classic fairy tales and want nothing more than to help retell the story with you! These little characters are bound to bring your story telling to a new level and who wouldn’t want to play with this fluffy and maybe n...

This is nautical bunny loves nothing more than to be beside the sea side and to take trips out to the big blue! With her snazzy little sailor’s dress and a bobble-beret, she is ready for her next sea side adventure!

Rosalie is a friendly little forest rat who loves to go out on a warm day to forage for berries and mushrooms. She collects these in her knitted basket and is always prepared for those April showers with her snazzy little hood!

I think this will be my last Easter knit of the year and I think Darwin is going to be my favourite one so far! Admittedly, he looks a little sad, but that’s nothing a few hugs won’t cure!

April has finally arrived and Lucille decided it was time to make an

It’s spring time and that means it’s time for change! It always amazes me how the world changes almost overnight - when we go from bare trees to tiny green leaves - and before you know it, we’ll be surrounded by colour again. I have to admit, the sweetest time of the year is watching new life appear; little lambs, ducklings and chicks.

Call me old fashioned, but I love roses! It was the first thing we planted in our garden when we bought our house many years ago and the rose bush is still growing strong to this day! These beautiful flowers inspired this pattern many years ago and I’m so proud to have finally published this design for you all to enjoy.

I designed this pattern many years ago but never took the plunge to publish it. One of my New Year’s resolution is to edit and publish patterns I have written but never published and hopefully use up some of my yarn stash in the process :)

A few years ago I made a drawing of a cute little ostrich chick with very intention of knitting him…

Did you gnome that Christmas time is my favourite time of the year? There’s simply gnome other time as magical as the festive season.

Yarn requirements:

The Wizard of Oz is one of those classic stories everybody is familiar with. It is such a wonderful story that I simply had to knit these little characters using all the colours of the rainbow!

My 7 year old son Taylan discovered this fuzzy white novelty yarn (King Cole Cuddles) in my stash a while ago and insisted it needed to be knitted into a polar bear! It took me a little while to get round to finishing his ‘commission’ but I’m really thrilled with how this little cutie turned out. Taylan’s little polar bear cub hasn’t left his s...

‘The town mouse and the country mouse’ is one of my favourite fables which tells the tale of two cousins who live in different habitats. They both envy the life style of the other, but soon come to realise that the grass is not always greener on the other side!

Little ones will love to cosy up with Alvin the Alpaca in his adorable little dungarees!

A nativity is always a necessity in our house once December comes along. It usually sits neatly on the side board next to the Christmas tree and is a sweet reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.

What would Christmas be without Kris Kringle himself ? I remember watching all the old Christmas movies as a child and loving all the different stories and legends behind this magical figure. I simply couldn’t write a Christmas book without my very own knitted Santa pattern. Wouldn’t he look cute sitting under your tree on Christmas Eve?

The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is a story written by E. T. A. Hoffmann and has since then been retold numerous times and

I have a friend who is a huge Final Fantasy fan who requested a Chocobo. It took a while to figure out exactly what I wanted my Chocobo to look like as this little creatures has changed appearances several times over the years. I have to say, I’m quite fond of the way he’s turned out and he was definitely well received and is now happy hopping ...

Raising two boys means I’m forever surrounded by monsters, dragons and all sorts of random beasts, but who says they can’t be cute at the same time? Take this little fellow for example: freshly hatched and looking for a forever home.

As a primary school teacher, I must admit that I get very attached to the children in my class. I know that at the end of each year, I have to let my precious little people go, as they move on to their next class. Luckily, I still get to watch them grow and flourish for a few years, until they’re ready for secondary school… but this year, one o...

It’s time for another MKAL and this time, my littlest munchkin has chosen which creature we’ll be making. He asked me for this specific critter a little while ago and I couldn’t get him off the needles quick enough! I’m not kidding… I haven’t even managed to take a decent picture of him yet… he’s been that busy being dragged all over the house!

Winter is here and with that, the need for a snazzy new woolly hat! When I asked my boys what kind of hat they’d like, their reply was “A monster hat!” … thus, that’s what they got. There’s nothing like keeping their little heads warm than a cute little monster who loves to sit on top of your head to keep you company.

Christmas is around the corner and I was in desperate need of a new festive toy! I have had this super soft fluffy yarn sitting in my stash for nearly 2 years now and it was screaming for something special! Taylan requested a gingerbread man and so that’s what he became. Meet George! He’s extra fluffy and very cheeky. He looks super dapper with...

With Halloween around the corner, I simply had to design little Bigglesworth. He is a huge hit with my boys and they just love wrapping him up in his own wings. He’s perfect for halloween and cute enough to stick around once all the spooky madness is finished!

Luna spends her days swimming the open seas and when she wants to go for a walk she magically slips out of her tail and into her summer dress.

This toy is easy to knit, using simple stitches on straight needles. It’s perfect for beginners, or for teaching children to knit.

Admittedly, I seem to have a slight obsession with mermaids as this is the third mermaid I designed. However, once she came to live, she simply needed a friend to keep her company. It started off with a whale… but then the whale seemed a little lonely so along came a shark. Then my boys insisted on a walrus after watching an episode on Blue Pla...

This adorably squishy panda is knitted flat and seamed, making him a perfect beginner-friendly knit.

A few years ago, I designed a lovely little princess blankie toy for my baby niece Scarlett. When a dear friend of mine became a grandma a few months ago, I figured it was time to design a little prince to match.

Bernese Bob lives in a cosy cottage on top of a mountain peak. He’s not just a furry companion though! His mission is to save lost mountain climbers from the icy cold and give them a warming drink from his special cask. Bob is knitted flat and seamed, and intarsia is used for the colour blocks in his head.

Trixie the Christmas elf

My boys are always so excited about Halloween. They love to dress up and well… the sweets kind of speak for themselves. I love carving pumpkins for the boys and making soup with the left over! It always seems to me that Halloween is that last bit of silliness before winter sneaks up on us.

Summer is nearly here and this little critter can’t wait for the sunshine to arrive. He loves sunbathing and wading through the paddling pool to keep cool.

I have to admit, Easter is probably my favorite time of the year, especially now that I have children. The boys love to hunt for hidden treasures in the garden and it gives me an excuse to overindulge in chocolate!

Eating the same old eucalyptus leaves soon got boring for this marsupial so Kenny packed up his suitcase and travelled the globe to become a word class Masterchef.

The festive season is my favourite part of the year and I simply couldn’t resist making some decorations to put on our Christmas tree. For this KAL I will be releasing one ornament a week, with prizes to win on my forum.

Every little girl is a princess in her mother’s eyes… or in my case her auntie’s. Having just my two beautiful boys I don’t get many opportunities to knit girly toys. Luckily that changed about 9 months ago! Princess Scarlett is a small blankie toy with a lovely textured pattern that is not only appealing to the touch but quite pretty to look a...

There’s nothing like spending a rainy afternoon doodling on a sketchpad with a nice cup of tea. Felicity is the result of those doodles, with her simple but stylish dress and her too-long-for-her-body-limbs. The bright pink yarn creates a lovely contrast to the subtle grey and blue, which is a good reminder that we all just need a little splash...

Puzzled by the mystery of odd socks? Always on the hunt for that missing counterpart? Ever wondered who’s behind this strange phenomenon?

A few months ago I published Polar Pete as a mystery knit along. He turned out to be a huge hit, so I thought he deserved a friend to spend his time with. I believe Miss Patty Polar Bear is just the girl for him.

Spring is most definitely my favourite time of year. It,s not too cold and not too hot and apart from the occasional shower, it reminds me of new beginnings when the trees turn green and the flowers start to

Do you happen to know any sport or fitness fanatics? Master Theodore Teddy would be their perfect companion. He wakes up at the crack of dawn to go out for a jog and still has plenty of energy to run laps around the block come night time. He is roaring to go in his tracksuit and trainers.

Have you ever found yourself wondering why your keys are not where you thought you left them or how those last 2 biscuits in the packet suddenly vanished? It’s quite simple: pixies! These sneaky little creatures love to play tricks on people and hiding shiny things is their favourite past time.

Master Geoffrey Giraffe is a cheerful little chap who is obsessed with martial arts. He’ll karate chop his way through breakfast and perform kicks for anyone who’s interested.

A Mystery KAL pattern in celebration of my soon to be released book Amigurumi Friends.

What could be a sweeter stocking stuffer than a mischievous elf to greet your little ones on Christmas morning?

We all remember our favourite dolls, so why not give a child the gift of a special little friend to play with?

Please note that the blanket part is knitted in the round and the rest of the dino on straight needles

This adorable toy will make a great gift for your little ones - and she’s quick and easy to knit too!

This adorable bunny family will soon become favourite toys.

This pattern need a small amounts of cream coloured and red DK yarn. Also needs some black thread for the eyes.
