booklette
Hi there. I have been super busy this week, finalizing everything for the booklet. It seems strange, but getting all the patterns standardized and getting the layout right was harder than actually designing and knitting the toys.
So now it's done, it's off to the printer, and it should be on sale around the 25th of October or so. It will have 8 patterns for all sorts of wacky knitted toys, plus some illustrations.
Here's one dude who will be in the booklet. He's a doll and a pillow, for those folks (like me) who are always trying to get more utility out of their toys. His name is Squarey, because that's probably what his name would have been had he been a character on Pee Wee's Playhouse.
So. To recap: booklet, on sale in a few weeks, Squarey pattern included, Pee Wee's Playhouse. Oh yeah, and the booklet's title is "Unusual Toys for You to Knit and Enjoy" and believe me, the wackiness doesn't stop there.

Oooh! How exciting! I love Squarey. (I used to love Pee Wee's Playhouse, too.) I can't wait to see your booklet.
Where will it be available for sale?
oh my gosh, he is too great! i will definitely have to get myself a copy of this booklet and try to make a squarey for myself.
Wow - I can hardly wait! It would be fun to knit a Chairy and a Squarey...

That is so cute! Will I be able to buy the booklet from your website? Your work with knitted dolls is just phenomenal :)
I love squarey! I am just learning how to knit...do you think I can make some of the guys in the book?

Mecka-lecka-hi-mecka-hiney-ho!

This is very cute!
Judging from the photos of your dolls that you've been posting it will be wonderful! Can I pre-order a copy? Where will the book be available for sale?

I love him.
*YAY!* I'll be first in line to get a book! I love all your toys, squarey, included!
Hi! I found you through Wee Wonderfuls and I love Squarey! I've only just learned to knit 2 weeks ago, but I am so buying this booklet when it comes out!
Can I get one too? Please...
oooo--can't wait to buy your booklet! And thank you so much for the tip on where to get the lovely black eyes--I ordered some and have already used a few on sewn robot toys, but can't wait to use them on a 'bot that will be a knitted cousin to yours. Gotta know--do you name your individual robots? In our household we seem to end up naming everything (even the toaster...). I've just started introducing my 2 and 5 year olds to Pee Wee and now, of course, they refer to the living room chair as "Chairy".
wow! squarey is amazing! great work.
i can't wait to knit up these cuties! i made your bunny for a friend a while back, and it's been well loved. can you tell us where we'll be able to purchase the booklet?
print a lot becuase I will be so sad if i miss this-very exciting and LOVELY photo.
Love, love, love Squarey. Really look forward to getting a copy (or two!) your book. :)
Lovely! I'd like to reserve a copy! Let me know when it goes on sale? June jelts_online@yahoo.com.sg

I agree with everyone, the new dude is way cool; it's hip to be square, don'tcha know! Is your robot pattern in the booklette? I really fell hard for him. Do let us know where we should be a-watchin' to spend dollaroons on your patterns!

I'd love to get hold of your booklet - please let us know when and where it will be available! Squarey would be a PERFECT christmas present for my two nephews - i can't wait to start knitting!
