Kids love toys, and toys you make yourself are extra-special. If you could buy these imaginative playthings in stores, they would fly off the shelves !  This book features stuffed animals,including a luscious lamb, a gigantic giraffe and even finger-puppet fruits that will delight babies and toddlers. With step-by-step directions, clear diagrams and drawings, and gorgeous photographs, knitters of all levels will find it easy to make the Pull-Toy Mama Duck and Ducklings, the set of Russian nesting dolls, and the Princess and the Pea Set.  Even older kids will enjoy these, as well as the Felted Bouncy Ball, a felted version of a Super Ball that's perfect for indoor play. A series of five reversible toys...a frog that turns into a turtle, a mouse that changes into a cat, an egg in a nest that transforms into a blue bird, and so on...showcases the creativity that makes Susan B. Anderson a rising star in the knitting world.

Susan B. Anderson, author of  Itty-Bitty Hats and Itty-Bitty Nursery, gives a whole new meaning to the word adorable in her new book Itty-Bitty Toys.  This collection of hand-knit patterns gives knitters a new twist on the classics, including enchanting reversibles and  interactive toys.  These delightful little creatures are perfect to knit up as gifts for baby showers, birthdays and most all, for Christmas .  You can follow Susan online on her blog and online at Twitter.
