When I saw the title of the thread I thought 'this will be Witzend' and sure enough it is.
What wonderful creations and such a great cause. smile

Always look forward to seeing your latest creations, Witzend.
Thank you for sharing with us.

Lovely, Witzend! Beautiful, neat knitting and I'm sure they will help children with their anxieties.
Well done.

So cute and very clever of you.

Woozles or not Witzend they’re delightful and for such an important use, clever you.

Well done .
They are really sweet .And the child , who receives them is so lucky !

Thank you! They don’t go to any individual child, though - they are used by therapists during their sessions, and according to the feedback, are immensely helpful. My big elephant is a worry-eater (same as all the big items I make) - there is a deep mouth pocket under his trunk.

Do you use a circular knitting machine as that is what I used in many of the knitted toys I made for our grandson and even our granddaughter loved the knitted dolls I made for her.

No, just a pair of 4mms and mostly double DK for these. I’m not even very good with circular needles! Your creations must have been lovely!

Absolutely fantastic.

Gorgeous!

They are so cute. Beautifully made and finished. You must be very clever. Much nicer than most of the soft toys you see in the shops these days.

Any woozles along with the heffalumps? 🙂

No woozles alas!

Farmor15, they’re going to Knit for Nowt, who send them off to children’s therapists - there’s always a waiting list. Big El is a worry-eater.

Thanks everybody!

They're amazing! Who is the lucky recipient?

Admittedly the sewing up and the hand puppet had to wait until I was home again, but they’ll be packed and ready for the postman soon. (God bless Click and Drop!)
