Christmas Key Rings


This year I decided to knit some key rings in keeping with the Christmas spirit.  As you can see some have snow flakes, another has a Reindeer, a Christmas Tree and also some plain ones.  I am also knitting some with power and totem animals on and as you can see from the picture below my first is a swan. These key rings also double up as stress balls and the swan is also laced with lavender so it will make your pocket or bag smell sweet.  The prices of these for a very plain one start at £3 and the others go up to £7 depending on how elaborate they are.  I also knit them with initials in such as the one on the right  I also have a few totem key rings available an elephant, a penguin and a frog.  Again these vary in price as some take as you can imagine an age to knit.  Obviously prices do not reflect postage.  At the moment I am busy knitting two rattles which are commissions from a lady in Tasmania and also two pair of fingerless mittens as presents for someone who is constantly on the go and on the move.  If any of you have any other ideas of small gifts I could knit please place a comment in the box below.

Harry the Hedgehog with Tiny, Timmie and Topsy Tortoise


These are the latest little critter are for sale.  I have a few commissions I am finishing including a small egg rattle, two rattles with wooden handles, a key ring and two pairs of fingerless mittens.  I am also getting ready for Christmas and I have already knitted a Christmas key ring (see below).  The other key rings were won in a charity raffle and will be going in the post Monday.  Lets hope the recipients like them. If you have any suggestions of items I can knit please make a comment on the blog.  I have seen some lovely Scandinavian Christmas stocking patterns and I may be knitting one of two of those.  I also thought some red, white and green heart shaped key rings would be a good idea.  These key rings I have been told are excellent for car key rings as they are light weight,  They also double up as stress balls and the red is a colour of power, energy and strength (not good though if you have high blood pressure).
