Little Knit Friends -Tutorial
I’ve finally found a simple and free pattern for these little knit friends just click on the link and it will take you right to the downloadable PDF. This pattern is by Jean Greenhouse
Once you get the hang of the pattern, they are very versatile. You could easily be adapt the pattern to make elves, gnomes, simple comfort dolls -anything. You can make them with cotton, wool or any yarn you’d like. If you use a larger bulky yarn the dolls will be bigger, a thin yarn with small needles will give you a smaller doll.
Have fun 🙂

Simple Winter Puppet Show
Puppet shows can be as simple or as complicated as you’d like. If there are some peg dolls around you can use them as the characters. Even your children little wooden, plastic or stuffed animals. Simple pieces of cloth or scarves work for sky and scenery. I like to check the thrift stores for real silk scarves, I have even found some beautifully handprinted ones for under a dollar.
This video is a wonderful example of a truly simple and lovely puppet show by Starfuldolls.

Aesop’s puppet show
These are some lovely examples of how to turn fables into simple puppet shows. Leonard Gerwick also has a nice way of making the children laugh by playing with the animals as he tells the stories.
