Those are so cute! a lion and a scarecrow...I'll have to look up the other two, b/c I'm sensing an OZ theme here.

Kristie, I love them. Wizard of Oz is my favorite. Good thing I have at least 6 toys to send to you. I hope to have some more to send as well. I just picked up the "Vanna's Choice Easy Crochet Critters". The giraffe is totally cute.

 

Well back to work

Hugs to all

Finished 2 more! That makes 6!

[KristieMN]

I hope to have a few more pictures to show you within a week or so.....

My local Walmart was kind enough to get rid of nearly all the yarn I use for my projects... so I am going to have to run to JoAnns...which is 40 mins away, instead of 15 minutes to Walmart.

 

I informed them there that I will not be shopping there anymore.:angry

 

The people working were not happy about the reduction in crafts either!

Go figure!

[Quigley's Mom]

I'd like to participate. I will set my goal at 6 since I am new and not too good at making anything but blankets.

That stinks! I don't have a WalMart at all but I've heard that many of them are reducing their crafts department. My nearest craft store is about 30 minutes and a $10 toll bridge away.

 

Can't wait to see your pics.

 

Finished one more...so I'm up to 7 now.

Do we send the toys to the same address as last year?

[KristieMN]

Do we send the toys to the same address as last year?

 

YES!!

 

I dont plan on EVER moving!! :lol:lol:lol

 

I HATE moving...so yes, as long as I have my way, the address will stay the same.

 

We are fortunate, we do not have tolls in MN...we just pay through the teeth for all our taxes!!

[CrisKad]

This is what I have so far. 9 toys. I even knit one. That was an adventure!

[Momcrochets]

love those babies with the pointy hats in the front...is there a free pattern link for that one?

[CrisKad]

Yes, its a free Ravelry link. You can find the pattern here:

[cluless]

I got the patterns for these on ebay - probably out of print leaflets. Kanga is from Zoo Puppets Play Sets and turtle is from Cute Critters to Crochet

[Momcrochets]

Thanks! ETA: oops, I'm not a ravelry member. hmmm. oh well.

 

The author of the pattern is a member here at Crochetville. Her name here is Mia. Maybe you can send her a PM and ask if she can email it to you!

[Momcrochets]

Thanks! I'll give that a try...

[CrisKad]

Cluless, your stuffies are adorable. The shell on the turtle is really awesome.

[KristieMN]

August some time... I havent set a firm date with the hospital yet.

I will be getting in contact with them soon.

I normally try to go towards the end of August....and do one big delivery!
