Knitted animals

Horse

Still knitting on the fishes (below - boring!),
I try to make room for more fun projects also.


The horse is done,
leaving for Norway
to live with my youngest grandson
in a few days.


It was a really fun project!
I used a thin wool yarn,
but almost any leftover yarn will do.


For the horse blanket I used more leftover yarn,
and the saddle is made with brown felt.


The size of the horse laying down
is about 11 x 10 inches (28 x 25 cm).
The pattern can be found in the book Dream Toys,
and can be bought here.


Denne hesten er helt herlig.
Strikket i babyull,
og stoppet med polyester fyll.
Her kan fantasien få fritt utløp.
Salen er sydd i filt.

Kittens
This week I also made a couple of kittens,
and this litter will most definitely grow.


I thought they came out really cute.
Great little present for a new baby.


Strikket også disse kattungene denne uka,
og de har fått lovende kritikk fra ungdommen i huset.
Hun knabbet den ene,
så jeg får vel strikke et par ekstra....
Mønster her.


Have fun, and enjoy the spring weather!
