Butterfly!

I love making toys for Eowyn. I have made some clothing items too, but she's growing so fast and with spring around the corner, I decided if I'm going to knit, for now it will be toys...Soon I'll start for next fall and winter, but for now, I'm having a great time making toys. This is the newest one. I actually felted an old sweater for the underside of the wings, instead of the polyester craft "felt". I'm excited with how it came out. I also put some bells in the body as I stuffed it to make it more fun! Eowyn liked it, but I didn't get a picture of her with it yet. Here it is on it's own though...

The pattern came from the book that Eowyn (Christopher) bought for me for Christmas, Knitted Toys: 25 Fresh and Fabulous Designs by Zoe Moeller. I have to say, I would make at least 15 out of the 25, no questions asked, and the rest I am considering! This book is great, so if you knit, or know someone that does, and you want to make some cool toys, check it out!
