 I'm putting that T-shirt yarn (and some yarn made from a white bed sheet) into use...

Big knitted/crochet sculptures with an anatomical theme.

These are based on branching systems that I initially made as miniature botanical pieces.

Dog and toys

It's not possible to pull out a stash of knitted toys without having Casper help out....

Unknown Characters

Rupert the Bear - Designer unknown

Bunny - Jean Greenhowe Design?

Ski Boy - Jean Greenhowe Design?

These characters all look like Jean Greenhowe Designs but are they? I haven't come across them in any pattern books yet...

Duck

Jean Greenhowe stash - Duck

© Copyright Jean Greenhowe Designs 2006 - 2011

This duck is another character from Jean's 'Knitted Animals' pattern booklet.

The Duck Family consists of mother, father and three ducklings. As the Thornbury duck has been found without a hat, it's not possible to say which family member the knitter had in mind. The colours of Thornbury Duck are a muted version of the original and not quite as cheery and chirpy as the ones in the photo. More of a sad duck really...

Lion

Jean Greenhowe stash - Lion

© Copyright Jean Greenhowe Designs 

This lion was an early Op-shop find. The fancy looping stitch of the mane is a very nice touch and gives some retro-storybook charm.

The Lion is part of a family of knitted characters called The Super Seven. All of these toys share the same basic body design with slight alterations. This pattern appears in a hardcover Greenhowe book titled Knitted Toys, published in 1989.
