Canada Bear
When the Canadian team won the Junior World Hockey tournament on January 5, 2020 I was inspired to make this jacket for one of my Mary Jane's Tearoom bears.
That turned out pretty nice if I say so myself 😁

New Year, new project
It's been a long time since I knitted a sweater (for myself) but when I saw this pattern (Peaks Pullover from PurlSoho) I decided to go for it.
Pretty pleased with the end result.
Maybe I'll knit another one soon.

Christmas 2019
Doing my usual Christmas crafts, Nativity sets, light strands, slippers, bunnies, bears and new for this year the reindeer.
But my absolute favourite this year were the giant gnomes.
The pattern is "Here We Gnome Again" and are actually knitted on a 3mm needle. But a client asked me to make them at least 40-45 cm tall so I used a very bulky yarn and 8mm needle.
They turned out fantastic!

The baby slippers are from Ravelry
The giraffe is from LoveCrafts

The possibilities for design and colour combinations are endless.

Foxy girl
Another cute animal from Little Cotton Rabbits website, a Foxy girl this time.
I had been eyeing her a for a while already but when I saw an alteration on this fox to make it into a reindeer (for Christmas) I was definitely sold.
So here she is.
And the reindeer change-up.

Canada Day
I had a request to make a typical Canadian animal with a red and white dress.
I couldn't find a pattern that pleased me so I ended up altering the bunny pattern (from Little Cotton Rabbits) into a beaver, with small ears and added some big teeth. I embroidered a maple leaf on the front of the dress.
It turned out pretty nice so I'm pleased.
And so was the customer!
