Destined for children’s therapists via Knit for Nowt. They are a bit fiddly to make - I do prefer knitting the big fat cuddly ‘animal’ worry-eaters - but the organiser has been very short of the sets lately. Satisfying to get this lot finally finished though.

Oh they are gorgeous. I am so envious of people who can knit so well. I tried and tried and could never get the hang of it.

They are lovely. You make so many lovely things. I always enjoy seeing them.

It’s so good that people make these things which are very helpful for children in distressing situations. I know how valuable they are. I wish I had your talent.

So talented Witzend

Thank you, but it’s the people who design the patterns (all donated for free) who are the clever ones - I honestly wouldn’t know where to start!

Beautifully done - and so handy (do you see what I did there?😂) to have when attempting to alleviate children’s fears around abuse cases that end up in court. In my professional role I suspect I would have been the lady on the right in the orange jumper. 😁

They will be so very helpful to children undergoing stressful situations in therapy.

My GD used something similar when my daughter died due to domestic violence that she witnessed to be able to explain and explore all she had seen.

I wish I had your talent Witzend I love the toys you make.

I’m assuming social worker, grannyactivist!

Thank you, everybody, for your kind words.

Spot on Witzend. 👍🏻

I specialised in therapeutic work with abused children for a while and that included court preparation.

Witzend you are talented . 6 people could do the same pattern same colours and everyone would turn out differently. We are all unique and that shows in whatever craft or art we do.

Everyone who does a craft never thinks their work is good enough. But others see it differently to us. I love seeing your work and that of others . I am a one trick pony and can only cross stitch . But it's the only time my hands don't tremble.

Crafters and artists are our own worst critics.

downtoearth, so sorry about your daughter. 💐
