Baby Elephant was bored. He wanted to play with his family, but he didn’t know where they were. He walked through the jungle until he spotted someone. “Aha! Here’s one of my family!” he thought… But it wasn’t an elephant at all! “I’ll help you find your family,” said Hippo, and they walked on through […]
I think I’m in love! He just flowed straight out of the yarn like this – I barely even had time to think about designing an elephant before he was there. He’s crocheted from one of the new ‘heather’ shades of Bernat Satin – have you seen them? I’m really excited about these new shades! […]

I’m so glad you guys like my tiny designs! I unfortunately don’t have the time to reply to every blog comment I receive, but I always reply to any questions you ask in the comments (either by e-mail or on the blog, if I think it’s something others may want to know the answer to […]
