    Lovely pattern!
    Arrived quickly and in a hard backed envelope.
    I love knitting by post! The site, the service and the lovely patterns.

  3. Jenny (verified owner) –

    Just finished it enjoyed knitting, took quite a lot of stuffing.

  4. Elizabeth (verified owner) –

    Would have liked it to be a little bigger but I am sure the group of children it is going to will enjoy it. It is given to a child when in a circle and the child holding it is the only one who can talk. It works.

  5. Valerie (verified owner) –

    Fab, fab, just simply fab.

  6. Glynis (verified owner) –

    lovely finished product

  7. jacqueline –
