Pump Some Iron!

This knitted strong man dumbell is the cutest thing - I think it would make an adorable rattle.  Myself, I might knit up a pair to save the snow-covered walk to the gym ;)

Happy Thanksgiving, and Free Turkey Patterns!

Hey friends on the Internet! Happy Thanksgiving for everyone that celebrates it! W, Lotus and I have had an awesome say, and to top if off, here are some free turkey toys for your Thanksgiving knitting pleasure!

First up is this cute little round turkey from WEBS! It's a free download from here.

The next free turkey was part of a knitalong last fall of the Spud Says! blog from Spud and Chloe.  Isn't he cute? Isn't the model cute? You can find this pattern here.

And last (but not least) there is this cute felted turkey from Mummble-Jummble2

See, now you have some cute centerpiece ideas for next year, I hope! :)
