If you have any ideas/wants for pairing children's books with a knitted pattern, please contact me so I can add it to this blog!
Also, if you do pair a book/pattern and gift it, I'd love to know what you did! Please leave a comment under the suggested book title - and links to your blogs are always welcomed!!

Also note, you may notice that the blog links to Amazon are tied to the blog. All money made from a sale of a book on Amazon will be donated to the Caucasus Children's Relief Fund.
This is an old series and I think it was more popular in the UK. I stumbled across a pattern and thought I'd share it's location.
Suggested Book: Any Wombles book. They're old, but are still available used.Suggested Pattern: Wombles (designer unknown - if you know, please contact me so I can add that info here.) (Free)

Shelly: Didn't Alan Dart design the Wombles patterns? And I think he can't sell the patterns himself because the characters were/are copyrighted. Sigh. They're so cute. My DIL from NZ liked them when she was little. She has one of the books but any toy I make specifically for her seems to end up with my DGS, which is ok but not what I had in mind. (So I made her a shrug from Knitty last summer and she kept that one and wears it! **SMILE**) sjanova
