Season Fairies

Four Magical Season Fairies to hand knit approximately 6 -1/2 to 7  inches tall, for someone special. Little girls as well as big girls love Fairies. Pattern available soon at my Etsy and Ravelry shops.

Autumn

Lovers of fairies are spoiled for choice come the Fall - autumn fairies come in glorious shades of autumnal red and gold, bedecked in nature's splendor.

From the elementals and nature spirits, to mischievous pixies and regal elves, fairies come in all shapes and sizes. They are closely connected to the natural world, and love beauty, so autumn is a special time for fairies. Leaves are turning gold and falling to the ground, and the earth is preparing for winter. Look closely among the fallen leaves and you might spot an autumn fairy or two!

Spring

After the long winter, flowers are re-born
and the meadows thrill to the tune of birth

Oh the Tulips are out..
The first glorious blooms emerge.
Spilling their colors across the landscape.
Celebrating Spring at last!

The Fairies rejoice in the beauty
of nature and celebrate the joy
of Spring.

Smelling the flowers

The Spring Fairy herself And the Child of Spring walks the Fairy meadowsand greets the flowers. Bare feet softly treading
                                                            the new grass, she is the vision of promise.  

                                                            She is THE SPRING FAIRY...

Summer

The best times of the day to see a Summer fairy are at twilight, midnight, just before sunrise, and midday. And the best time of the year to see a summer fairy is on Midsummer's eve, as this is the most magical time for all fairies. Known as Flower Fairies they love music and dancing, and hold many balls and parties throughout the summer months , but on this special night they throw the most wonderful party of all, and every fairy in Flower Fairyland is invited! Fairies don't like to be discovered, and are very good at disappearing quickly (with the help of their magical fairy dust), so you must be very careful and very patient if you are to see one.

Winter

Snow fairies are spectacular and powerful. And artistic. Who else could create millions of different snowflake designs and never (well hardly ever) repeat one? And their job is not as easy as it may seem. For they must always work within the laws of nature and cooperate with the weather conditions that nature has set into motion. This can become very, very complicated, but they are very talented and find joy in their work!

Here are some beautiful little African Violets , I have hand knitted as Mother's day Gifts.

Pattern was written as a special favor for me,  from a very dear friend of mine, you can get a copy for FREE over at The KnittyCat's blog here:

Shrek baby

 Weekend visit with the Grandkids watching Shrek Movies , left me inspired to make this little green knitted Shrek baby..

Complete with her pink di-di, and bow in her hair....
She is about 9-10 inches tall standing, Soft and cuddley, now I have to make one for all the Granddaughters, as they have squealed about her , and want one!   ha ha   (of course the grandson wants a boy one! )

 I ordered a pkg of 12 mm eyes, and ended up with several of these, red and pink eyes, which reminded me of a pet white rabbit I had as a child, so I was inspired to knit this little Bunny.

I have made her tail into a fluffy pom-pom! And added little wool crochet flower applique's.
Cute Spring Bunny~

Pattern is available on Ravelry, and its free to download..... you have to join the site, but that is free also.

Mia knit doll

 Mia, all hand knit doll from the book Huggable Friends 1.

I just love the colors in this doll, blues, rose, dk purple, and turquoise , simple to knit up, I finished her in two days.

The doll is made with stockinette stitch,garter stitch, seed stitch, and moss stitch.

I am thinking of making a smaller version of this doll, this one is about 18 inches tall. I would like about a 10 inch doll version, using less yarn, and knitting up even quicker....

What do you think?

Dont you just love Mia's sack hat!?

GO TEAM!

New Knit doll patterns, A cheerful little Cheerleader and a Football player, both dolls are about 8-9 inches tall when completed with a Size 3 knitting needle and Dk yarn.
