Dear Knitting Cabbage Heads,

Now the poor tadpoles in the Pond of Life have had to wait a long time for their limbs and entering the world of frogdom. This little Knitted One was conceived waaay back in January.

Sitting there at the back almost popping out of the box. This little one has waited and waited watching other tadpoles leave and other animals be made instead of being prioritised themselves. But, finally, finally it was their turn.

Arms have begun. But I chose to attach legs next, I took Nancy up to see myn60 year old teddy bear, named Cyclops - he did have eyes once, and then only one, and then none, but the name stuck.

Arms achieved and then Nancy gave Cyclops a big cuddle.

Nancy told me she was seamstress, so I decided to make a few accessories.

Then I set up a little photo shoot with all the bits and bobs, before she set off on her long journey to the USA.

So that’s all folks. Till next time, 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 always open to suggestions. I do have ME/CFS and making 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.
