Hi my name is Patty and this is my first post on my blog. I would never have dreamed I would be doing this three years ago when my daughter first gave me some needles and wool as she thought I might enjoy a little knitting. I began slowly with squares which I had no idea what I was going to do with. After a Eureka moment they became a pram blanket for my new grandaughter and there was no stopping me!
My daughter gave me some Jean Greenhowe booklets and I have been knitting little people and animals ever since. Lots of them were given away, then because I received such good feed back I made some as special personal gifts. My sister then bought me an Alan Dart book which gave me even more to go at.
Now I have to have something on the go all the time to fill any empty moments in the day. I knit in quantity but not in great size as I like to see the results come together fairly quickly. Lately I have found I have a little collection gathering which prompted my daughter, who has her own cards and crafting blog, Ellephantastic Cards & Crafts, to ask if I would like to have my own blog. This is the result, my five minutes of fame! Enjoy...

Wow Patty, you have some talent here. What fantastic creations, so glad Helen suggested you start up your own blog to showcase them.
You should open a little online shop and sell these, they're amazing. Looking forward to visiting your blog more frequently

Hello! Welcome to blogland and congratulation on your first post! These are all fabulous, I love to knit, too, but to be honest I had no idea that knitting can turn into such an amazing piece of Art. I especially love the cute little mice, the one with the fan it's just too cute and then the bride one is so beautiful! The first one (is that an elf?) is simply amazing! I think that I'd like to try something like this myself, but I guess it takes time and lots of practice before they turn out this gorgeous!
Have a lovely evening
