arachne Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Has anyone else knitted the new chicken toys designed by Janice Anderson from Rowan's new book, The Organic Cotton Kids' Collection? The book has a wonderfully whimsical small stuffed chicken toy design, amongst other animals. I'm knitting a few while I impatiently wait to choose my very first chickens. Just got to finish the chipped bark bed a la Omlet! You can see them on the Rowan website www. knitrowan.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Everything in there is lovely, the chickens are and the little cardigan that the girls holding the knitted daisy in is so sweet. I might buy this book for my mum.........( and then pinch it back ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
