I am celebrating the fact that my new books seems to be well received. Just so you can start making for Christmas, I will be giving away one copy to a reader of this blog. Would you like to win a copy for your own book pile? If so please leave a comment below with a suggestion of a new animal or piece of clothing. I would love to hear your suggestions.
The winner will be picked at random on 1st November – Happy Thinking!
Additional Note: Lovely US friends, the US version of the book with your crochet terminology is available from Barnes Noble on 20th Oct 2016 – Great News.
Congratulations to Amanda – who won the giveaway! Thank you all for such amazing comments and ideas. Hopefully the publishers might think about another edition with a whole new family of animals.
Your animals are beautiful! I would love to see a platypus!
What about a penguin? The one on the advert on television wears a coat and muffler and looks very cute! I would love to make that.
A lizard/chameleon type of stuffed toy would be nice for a boy
A chameleon!
I second a penguin – maybe in a smart red waiscoat. Very festive!
I would love to see a sloth!!! or or or a Bee, oh God a bee would be so cool!! Like the oned ob “bee movie” . Adorable eith clothes
I think a pair of dogs would be a cute addition to the animal collection. Or something a little more exotic like aardvarks!
Hi how about a Hare! I love then
I would love to see an elephant.
A greyhound would be great. It’s hard to find a pattern for one anywhere.
I’d love to see a sheep, for the Kiwis down under!
A wolf please. My daughter adores them and always feels so upset that they are portrayed as the villain!
My suggestion would be a Pug I think the black mask and fawn fur would look amazing crocheted
A Duck with wellies, umbrella and rain mack would be really cute.
A princess Swan in a tiara and a tutu because princesses wear tutus don’t they? Or a flamingo in flip flops and a mask and snorkel. A hippo in safari gear.
I would also love a penguin.
How about a squirrel in a hoodie! 🙂
Hi I would like to see an otter in bright red mack or wellies. I also think that a zebra would be cool & you can design different clothes so that it can become a great stallion or a unicorn on those days when it wants to be something else for a day!
A platypus would be cute, in a little rain coat. Congrats on your new book!
A penguin or an otter.
I’d love a koala with a little red gum boots and a cork hat 🙂 or a kangaroo!
My first thought was an elephant (for my daughter) but maybe a hedgehog – or a spoted woodpecker as we have a regular visitor in the garden and the black and white and red is just so gorgeous.
A Polar Bear couple with waistcoat and shawl please
I would love to see a little onesie…to make the animals look like baby animals. x
An armadillo would be wonderful for us in Texas!
hedgehog that come handy to be made into a pincushion or a toy.
I would love to make an owl, and because owls are always portrayed as wise and distinguished creatures he should be wearing glasses, a waistcoat and bow-tie!
I agree with Lesley Jane Jackson – a greyhound with a lovely crocheted coat
I would love to see a duck or chicken.
I would like to see a duck character, and a flowery bonnet. ♥
I think a tortoise or rhino would be good
I would like to see a badger in a waistcoat and a tweed jacket.
A kakapo. Lovely mossy green fat and dozy ground dwelling parrot from New Zealand. I could be a kakapo. I’ve got the fat and dozy pretty much sussed.
How about an adorable, floppy eared,pudgy,sweet and silly Labrador dog carrying her own little teddy bear 🙂
A sloth would be great
I love crocheting animals
A nubian goat
A grey or red squirrel, with winter scarf, breeches and nut basket.
A smartly dressed badger with a little waistcoat and plus fours and a walking stick.
Oops just realised this has already been suggested 🙂
I would love to see a red panda, one of my favourite animals.
How about an adorable fire dragon? We crochet items for our foster kids that we serve and a dragon would work for either a boy or a girl. Plus it would give them something fierce to hang on to when they were scared.
An eight legged octopus dressed in an eight legged yellow rain mac and a yellow sou’wester!
