New Pattern: Perry the Pear
My obsession with super-sized cuddly fruits continue! Many of you have left comments saying you can’t crochet but would like to make one of my Amigurumi Pears. So I’ve come up with a knitted version just for you.
Perry the pear is huggable, cute and has a big heart. I have him sitting around the house – on the bed, on the sofa but most of the time he’s right here on my desk. Whenever I get frustrated and need to turn my frown upside-down, Perry is there to greet me with his loving smile. A cuddle a day sure brightens my day!
I knitted the pear with soft bulky weight acrylic yarn, which makes Perry a quick and affordable plush toy to make. He is a fun one-skein, weekend project and your kids would love you for it. I dare say the grown-ups would love him just as much too!

Furry Colleague + Weekend Special
I’m trying to get some work done today. I have the house to myself. I turned off all my usual distractions. It was going great until Olly turned up. That was the best I could do to get him away from me. At least he wasn’t lying on the keyboard or my hand or the mouse or all of those at the same time! Argghhh…
Thankfully, he’s moved to his box now and I can get back to work.
So I’ve got something special to share with you. It’s a little treat for Ravelry members who like knitting and cuddly things. But this offer is only going to last a couple of days so you better hurry!

Seriously cute winter fruits
Photos from Ads of the World
How stinking cute are these fruits! LOVE their little knitted winter coats. The ads are to let people know that the Calgary Farmer’s Market is still open and has fresh produce all winter long. Very clever! Now I wonder who knitted their cozies…
Bright eyes and eager!
Look who’s just popped out of the studio! Sneaky Perry can’t resist a little peek. He’ll get to meet you soon, I promised. Won’t be long now.
Pattern is coming out next week. Woo!
Little Mac’s New Mummy
201 loving families wanted to adopt Little Mac. But there can only be one winner of the One World One Heart giveaway.
“My new mummy is Christina! *suck suck* I’ll be coming home soon, mamma!”
I’m sad to see him go but I’m sure he’ll be happy with Christina and (another) Richard. Best of all, he’ll still be in sunny Australia.
And for everyone else, I strongly urge you to visit Christina’s blog and shop. She is an amazingly talented artist. Here’s just one of her stunning prints from her Etsy shop:
