Yesterday I found a reference to a web-site that sold knitted animals, that are fairly traded, using locally grown wool (in Kenya) and using traditional dyeing methods. Yes, quoth I, with enthusiasm, Arch might like to know about this, and any other devotees of knitted animals. OOOOppps, this morning I could not find the article.
But, I did a search for "knitted zebras" *('cos I remembered seeing said animal in the picture) and eventually found the following:
www.nicetoyshop.co.uk Please especially notice the baby elephant (should I now hide under my desk) and the Grannimals.
I particularly like Emile and Emilien, and Justin and Justine. They also sell "rag" dolls, which are described as being hand made by Kenana knitters.
Arch, you probably do not wish to purchase any of these, as your own creations are magnificent, but you might like the pictures to see how they have been created and knitted.
Any one else (not on Arch's waiting list) might like to see these.
Remember these are not just knitted animals, they are fairly-traded, using wool from locally growing animals, and using traditional dyeing methods.
