I have always loved knitting and as a child I would knit little mice and dress them up! This progressed to bigger toys for my own children and then when the grandchildren came along for them too until my daughter said, "please, Mum, no more knitted toys!"
That is when I started writing the toy patterns because after knitting another new toy, I could say I was designing a new toy pattern. I then progressed to making stories about the knitted toys for our grandchildren - they loved them. If you would like to show your children and grandchildren, they are here:

I now knit sweaters for our grandchildren - they are all boys and love vehicles & dinosaurs. At first I couldn't find designs suitable so David said he would have a go at making a chart for a tractor. He research how to do it and I knitted it up - it turned out perfect. The boys loved them and get a different design each Christmas. Our daughter said they were admired whenever they wore them.
We now have a granddaughter.............

"I just wanted to thank you again for the pattern, and show you the jumper I have made. Your instructions were so good, and your tips were a big help."
"I'm so excited! I'm making these sweaters for my grandsons..... they will LOVE them!!!!!!! :)"
"Thank you so much for the pattern. I'm looking forward to trying it out for a friend's little boy who is crazy about Frozen.Thanks too for such an excellent service."
"My two-year-old grandson LOVES all kinds of diggers, so I’ll be excited to get started on this new sweater for him. It’s by far the best pattern I’ve found for a “digger sweater.”"
"I have finished the Red racing car jumper for my friend's little boy. When he saw it he squealed, hugged it and jumped up and down on the spot. I am not sure they can get it off him now to wash it!"
"Thank you very much,Linda.I was so pleased to find your design. Zacky, my 5 and a half year old grandson specially asked me for an emperor penguin. It's pretty well the only jumper he agrees to wear! but it does have to be washed sometimes....."
"I would love to buy the children’s sweater with dump truck motive on it. I’ve made the digger one and my grandson refuses to take the sweater off! His mom asked me to knit another one so that they can alternate sweaters."
"I just finished the sweater for my grandson. Because he is only one year and four months old I took a thinner wool- Lana Grossa cool wool merino superfein. The gauge is 24 stitches per 10cm so I could take the smallest size. It was a pleasure to knit this!"
