(I have been using patterns/adapting by Claire Garland from Dot Pebbles Knit for most of these little animals. She has a fab Instagram account. Shoes are sadly not made by me but from various other sellers.)
Hello Knitting Cabbage Heads,
(I write up the story of these froglets because their stories happen mainly over on Notes, and I know some people only see emails not Notes)
I have been a little snowed under with commissions recently, this is fun but also a little bit of pressure, but luckily everyone understands that I take it slowly. As such I haven’t posted many making stories. Dolly was one of those commissions.
Catt adopted Muick and her sister in law decided to surprise Catt with his girlfriend for her birthday. She emailed me and we discussed what Muick’s girlfriend should look like. It was decided she would be a lime green.
And that she would have the same kind of dress as River-Willow. This is a very popular style of dress.
So off she went to Scotland where she received her name, named after a beloved grandparent, and Muick is very much delighted with her.
So that’s all folks. Till next time peeps, Tx
Froglets🐸, other animals🐇🦊🦡🐭🐘🦏🦎🦥🦧etc, and other miniatures are (or will be) available from me on here (message me). You can also find them at My Website.
. They are considered collectibles, are unsuitable for under 14s due to the wires, are not CE/UKCA tested (collectibles do not need to be), and are therefore priced as such. Also contact me here if you fancy something you see or don’t see, I’m open to suggestions. I do have ME/CFS and photographing them etc all takes a lot of energy and is a very slow process. I do knit to order too, but be aware a froglet with a jumper takes up to a week for me to make on average. The smaller they are the longer they take as they are more intricate and fiddly. Thank you muchly.
If you have enjoyed my ramblings I’d love for you to click the ❤️. It pleases the social algorithm, lets others know there’s something interesting here, as well as letting me know you liked it and giving me a little virtual hug. Without virtual hugs I have been know to get sad 😜. Shares are good too and a comment buoys me up even more 😁 A comment of what you liked, what you didn’t etc would be most gratefully appreciated.
I love her outfit!😍
