This Friday, I'd like to spotlight a mama who not only makes the the most beautiful knitted toys, but also sells lovely South African wool, homeschools her 4 children, and keeps a lovely blog too. I have raved about Linda's lovely wool yarn many, many, many times, but she really has some of the cutest knitted animals around.
Finn's long favorite bedtime story has been Owl Babies. Every night, for months on end, we read owl babies, and Finn would lament "poor Bill." So for Easter, Bill appeared in Finn's Easter basket. Of course, Bill had a very hard time finding his mommy at our house, although Finn did a very good job of loving and cuddling him. When I went away for a week this summer to take a class, I thought Finn and Bill might both need an extra mommy around, and mamma4earth's knitted owl made a perfect mommy owl. As you can see below, Finn was thrilled.
Even now that Owl Babies isn't read for every bedtime story, and Finn enjoys a wider variety of books, this lovely owl still holds a special place in our family.
Oh-my-gosh...YES. She is amazing. We have loved so much all the treasures we've gotten from her, and she is an incredible lady!
ReplyDeleteShe had a turtle that I adored not long ago. Good pick!

The owl is adorable, and I agree..Linda has the most wonderful little animals in her shop. Trent got a hedgehog knitted by her in his Easter basket this year...similar story to the owl, only his favorite books are the Jan Brett books with "Hedgie". ;)
ReplyDeleteI had never seen Linda's blog before---I love it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteReally cute stuff!
ReplyDeleteWe love Owl Babies here also. Sweet book.
