little forest critters

There’s been lots of late night, secret knitting going on around here. I’ve been working on these little forest critters (from the book Little Knitted Creatures by Amy Gaines) for the past couple weeks, trying not to let the kids see what I’ve been working on. Once finished I wrapped them in little burlap packages and tied them onto the stairway advent calendar. I’m still working on the owl, some toadstools and the forest gnomes to complete the set. For now the little advent packages awaiting these additions are stuffed with Shane’s socks. Shhhh… don’t tell the kids! I promise I’ll get them done before the day those packages are to be opened.
