[Valerie]

Hello Terry, I've never done any knitting on circular needles, but have
heard that you need be careful that the stitches don't twist on the needle?
I haven't tried beadwork either so that sounds really something nice to try
doing. 

The toy pattern is from a small group I go to, more of a social group, but
some craft is done,  I usually do knitting, and although the lady who runs
it is so kind, she really is not a craft person, so we are muddling along
doing our own thing at present. The snake is just knit and purl and all done
in squares which makes it fairly easy to follow, though not sure yet how the
head will work out for shaping, at present I'm still knitting squares.  I'd
also love to find a pattern for easy knitted slippers, my mother used to
make them years ago.   
All the best Valerie

Hi Val;
I think it would be fun to knit some toys!  I have a niece who just
turned one.  It would be fun to make her a teddy bear!  Where did you
find the paterns?  Is it just knit?  I know how to knit and perl.  I
have made a few doll blankets, one afkin and a few scarves.  I started a
multi red, white and blue blanket, on circular needles, but not have
gotten hung up with my plastic canvis.  I am also taking a stab at
beading.

Hi Valerie,
You have come to the right place. Before I got here, I dabbled at things
and was usually disapointed with the results.  The ladies on here have
done a wonderful job encouraging me and teaching me several crafts on
the telephone.

YOu will love it here.

What kind of toys do you knit?
