Nicely Knit

I never mastered knitting, and crochet is my yarn twisting hobby. I found this amazing shop, TheHunnyBunnyCompany, on zibbet full of adorable knit animals. It brings back tender memories of my mom knitting little pocket rabbits for my brothers, and even a turtle for me. I know how much work and love goes into these adorable Hunny Bunny friends, and they will be passed down and treasured for generations.

My dad would hide a bunny in the living room and my brothers and I would search for it. What a wonderful game that was.
I can relate to this knitter's overwhelming string of creative ideas, and knot enough time to get them done as quickly as she would like. Having or giving one of these handmade treasures is so uplifting. Her creations have gone out internationally giving hugs and smiles.

She crafts her huggable critters in the United Kingdom, ships internationally, and is also found on Etsy. Whether you are looking for a kitten, rabbit, elephant, Scottie dog, or mermaid, custom orders are welcome.

Meerkats and Star Trek!

Did I hit the jackpot of unique and wonderful with this shop find! Okay, I’m a big Star Trek fan, but you have to admit this is very creative and unusual knitting. Heather has recently opened a shop on Zibbet called NiftyKnits where she has an entire troupe of freestanding meerkats ready to be your best pal.

Looking for a superhero, a rock/film star, or a sports themed meerkat to give as a very special gift, she has you covered and is ready to accept any knitting challenge. She makes her own patterns so you won’t find these delightful creations anywhere else, and, understandably, her patterns are not for sale.

There is such a feeling of creative energy in her shop. She also makes several other designs like this striking spotted gecko. Heather is in the UK, but ships worldwide. You can also find her on Facebook. Pop in and explore all of her amazing creatures in this truly one-of-a-kind shop!
