From Susan — An Itty-Bitty Post

Filed under: Updates — lv2knit @ 6:25 pm

Wow!  I just got back from Shepherd’s Choice in Anoka, Minnesota where I had the privilege of meeting Susan B. Anderson and seeing all of the darling toys in her new book Itty-Bitty Toys.  Things were really hoppin’ at SC.  I ran into several people I know — it felt like an “EVENT.”

Here are a couple of the cute toys — and this really does not do the book justice!

There were so many things that I absolutely LOVED: The Princess and the Pea, Beanbag Santa, Sock Monkey (not a sock monkey, but a monkey made from sock yarn!).

Honestly, I fell in love!  There are so many things I want to make from this book — where to start?  I decided to start with the Santa Beanbag so I can put it on my mantel and there may be more in my future 😉 !  Five of the patterns flip inside out to reveal another doll.  Very, very cute.

Here I am with the lovely (much prettier in person) Susan B. Anderson.  She is holding my Elefantes because she is the creator of that well-loved design.

Now, I must knit!

  4. Hi! It was fun to spot you there- I totally should’ve said a hearty hello! (I don’t think we’ve ever actually met!) I was distracted a bit too much by my sister being there with her sweet munchkin!
    It was fun, Susan is so incredibly sweet, and Kathy’s shop is just scrumptious!
