Toys anyone?

Well, I've completed a few more toys, and they have taken over the bed in our guest room.  A couple more months and they will be on their way to the Diamond Children's Medical Center in Tuscon.  Hopefully they will help some little guy or girl to smile.

Here's my favorite of my recently completed projects:

His name is Frog Charming, and he's from the October, 2009 issue of Interweave Crochet.  A delight to make, and very, very easy.  Seems he's struck up a friendship with sock monkey.  That's nice, everyone needs a buddy!












And then there's this creature of the great outdoors:

An Alan Dart pattern, Night Owl, featured in the latest issue of Simply Knitting.  His toy patterns are the best.  If you haven't seen any of his patterns you really need to visit his website and take a look around.  If you love knitted toys, you're in for a treat!
