there's something fantastically 1970's about these hand knitted puppets - they remind me of something that barbara from the good life might knock up on her loom...but in a good way obviously. I'm seriously digging the lion's hair!

time to own up...I have a bit of a soft spot for odd looking toys! this lovely creature is made from super soft yak wool, plus it's long legs and taggie bits make it easy peasy for little hands to grasp. still unconvinced? snooshy has a balaclava...(how can you not love a toy in a balaclava!)

who said that dressing up was just for kids, why can't a lion pretend to be robin hood or an alien wear a party hat? in fact, I think all toys should be encouraged to play dress up (especially when it looks so darn cool)

this strange creature is a bit like a modern day zippy (remember him!?) with a big zip for a mouth, a pocket to hide things in and six ears to grab onto this striped creature should keep little hands busy for a bit!

embrace diversity and show a little love for this slightly odd but ever so friendly knitted doll - what can I say, I'm particularly partial to a doll in a tank top!
