Pattern book

My mom gave me an old book she found of soft toy patterns, since she knows I have an interest in sewing and knitting toys, as well as pattern making. I put some pictures of The Big Book of Soft Toys on flickr. The patterns are a weird mix of good, interesting toys and some pretty basic, simplistic, and dare I say bad patterns. It was published in 1972, so there's some cheesy-craft thrills to be had!

I am very fond of the 70's.

Those are some quirky toys! I like the squirrel & owl.

I know the Cotlin has been very much in demand at Knit Picks since it debuted. When I ordered the pink, it was the only one available, which was good for me since it was the color I wanted! I'll probably block the towel this week and let you know how it goes.
