wow. I stumbled upon your patterns and they are absolutely adorable. Are you SURE it's ok to sell toys made from your patterns?? May I credit you as the designer?

Thankss for the praise woolies. It's totally fine to sell anything made from my patterns just as long as it's not the pattern itself. I'd love knowing that people like to sell handmade things, it's so much more special than shop bought toys.
If you would like to credit me that would be great. Happy knitting :)

Lovely patterns!! I hope you don't mind I've used your 'Copyright' blog on my blog (credited it to you of course!!).

I quite agree with you about this issue!

If you fancy a look I have a Harry and Hermione on my blog!

Thank you for the fabulous wee mouse pattern - I had been trying to find a tiny knitted Meerkat pattern to knit for myself and have adapted your pattern - there are some pictures on my blog page today and I have credited you with the original pattern ... I don't knit much now adays as I was diagnosed at quite a young age with a form of arthritis - but managed this tiny fellow with no problems Thanks again Britt in Western Australia :-)

Thank you so much Raynor, I have made your tiny turtle and it is my hubbies favorite. I would also like to thank you for allowing knitters to sell the cute little toys made from your awesome patterns...You are the best!

I love this pattern and plan on using it to make little toys to sell at pet events where all the money goes to a dog rescue. If there are any questions I will send them to your link. Thanks for making this possible, the puppies are very greatful.
