https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/ Knitted Toys For this lot of toys, I did not consult a pattern...hence the funny, goofy look. They gladdened the hearts of children at an orphanage. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=20638542 20638542 I got this lovely pattern from the net http://knitty.com. It was supposed to be worked on the round but I did it on two needles. It worked! https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=20645591 20645591 A pattern from knittedtoybox.blogspot.com An amigurumi toy, very easy to do and so sweet. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=20645592 20645592 Some of these were made through imagination, others were done from patterns. The book Knitted Toys by Fiona Mc Tague, is wonderful. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629464 22629464 Made from a pattern book Knitted Toys By Zoe Mellor. This book too, is a must buy. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629465 22629465 I drew him, imagined his look and knitted him! I think the expression is what excuses the unprofessional knitting! The children from St. Sienna School for Destitute Children, loved him. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629466 22629466 Again an imagined creation...have forgotten where I sent him. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629467 22629467 This was made without looking at any pattern. His spindlt crochet legs delighted the children. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629468 22629468 This was my first attempt at a rabbit. Ir worked because the children spent their time guessing what it was! https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629469 22629469 Wrong colours but this was supposed to be a corn with a cap on. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629470 22629470 https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629471 22629471 He turned out looking like an untidy old man https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629472 22629472 I was quite proud of him...one of my first efforts. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629473 22629473 Knitted out of many left over pieces of wool. He sat in my study a long while before I forced myself to give him away. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629474 22629474 He sits in my son's room. Knitted through imagination https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629475 22629475 Without a pattern, knitted with waste wool. He was sent to a school for underpriveleged children https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629476 22629476 Imagined, drawn and executed without a pattern. Noone could say what he was. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629477 22629477 Just a piece of knitting, started with one stitch and increased in every row to form a square. The head is stuffed with cotton scraps. A great favorite with the tiny ones at Asha daan. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629478 22629478 Supposed to be a Hippo. Didn't work out! https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629479 22629479 Sitting in my study. Was used for a lesson on Farm Animals at the School for the Destitute. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22629480 22629480 Pattern from Fiona Mc Tague's Knitted Toys. I just added the flower on her head! https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22630319 22630319 Isn't he sweet? Also from Fiona but I found him difficult to do. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22630320 22630320 From Zoe Mellor. Had to follow a chart but managed just fine. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22630321 22630321 Zoe Mellor again. The flower is my own embellishment! https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22630322 22630322 Derived from Zoe's pattern but went wrong somewhere in trying to make her smaller. Flower, curtesy myself https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22630323 22630323 Zoe Mellor. You'll never believe what all goes into the making of this lil creature! https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22630324 22630324 Thanks to Fiona but he didn't work out as well as he should have. Anyway the children thought he was perfect. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22630622 22630622 From Fiona's book but I used amazing Japanese wool for him. He sits on my light board, looking at me. I can't give himaway! https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22630623 22630623 From Fiona again. Just knitted him in the afore mentioned wool. This duck is so popular that I knit almost two a week. https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22630624 22630624 From a pattern from knittedtoybox.blogspot.com. I have knitted a large family of these in different colours! https://dheerakitchlu.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=22630625 22630625
