Decisions, decisions....

Nearly finished with the first knitted chicken. What next - another chicken in a different color? Or a little knitted elephant?

And the knitted tea set segues....

Into felt donuts!

And tea sets!

And and cakes!!

The cute, it burns! It burns!!!!

(and I started the El-p-fant. Cause I have buttercream and raspberry yarn and I'm going to make it look like the one from the Island of Misfit toys. Though eventually two children will require two of each critter. I'm trying to figure out how to knit cables onto the chicken. And maybe do the other El-P-fant in lavendar - like Lumpy the Heffalump)

Wow, the Japanese can come up with the coolest/scariest things

And now, I want one of these books. No, I don't have a good reason.

Just utter, complete fascination. And a sudden desire to fill my home with little felt goodies ('specially the second one!):
