Introducing suave little Bubby the bear, from Knitty.com. Another addition to the yet-to-be-knitted imaginary planned menagerie. Looks easy and quick too, not to mention it’s a great little stash buster!

Knitted Anne Boleyn – oh my!
This morning I finished reading a very interesting bio of Jane Boleyn, sister-in-law of the infamous Queen Anne. Then, as I was Stumbling rather randomly, up popped this astonishing site. There’s no reason to find this surprising, as, several years ago during a visit to Hampton Court Palace, I bought a cross stitch kit depicted Henry VIII and his 6 wives. I still haven’t completed the needlework, and my friend tells me I could do so more easily by leaving the heads off Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. That may just happen, but one thing’s certain; I’m not knitting this doll.

Knitted Kitty
This versatile pattern is a veritable menagerie in itself. Cats and rabbits and bears…..

Harry Knitted Bear
Can’t have a menagerie, even an imaginary yet-to-be-knitted one, without a bear. Harry’s invited, but no octopi, dragons, or snakes need apply. They’re nice, but not quite right for my animal shelter.
Floppy Knitted Dog
Can’t stop! Here’s another pattern I’ve collected to support my new animal-knitting compulsion. Sit!

Pasha the Knitted Penguin
Another of the patterns I found to feed my I’m-not-sure-why-but-I’m-on-an-animal-knitting binge. Too cool!
