Hello,
I came across your blog by chance, and what luck that was! I am English but have lived in France now for the past 30 years. I knit toys for charity; indeed I have just launched a charity which aims to occupy the elderly and sick by organising knitting and crocheting afternoons together. The things we make will then be sold at craft fairs etc, and the money raised will be given to small charities which lack the financial means to carry out their work.
I am always looking for nice patterns, small and quick to make, for this purpose. I have been knitting for charity for the past 4 years now. Anyway, I just fell in love with your elephant pattern, and wantetd to let you know that! I wanted to send you an email or a private note, but I'm no good with computers and only found this way of telling you my gratitude for offering me this free pattern!
I will certainly be back for another visit later, you have some wonderful stuff here! Congratulations et many thanks
happy knitting (I only knit!!)
Linda
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment! Nothing pleases me more than to hear that you are enjoying one of the peep patterns and that you are making things for charity! And helping others to make things for charity as well! Having done a good deal of charity knitting myself, I know how gratifying it is. :o)
I will be putting up more patterns for the peeps as I am able to write them, so if you check back occasionally, there may be a new one now and then. Health issues keep me from doing as much as I'd like on them, but I will continue to write them up as I can. Since I don't approach knitting the peeps from a pattern perspective, but more like sculpting them with knitting stitches, it's a bit of a stretch for me to write up patterns for them. As you might have seen, there are patterns available for Peep versions of Elmo and Cookie Monster of the Muppets, and you can certainly vary them with colors and shaping changes to make other characters and animals as well.
Thank you again for taking the time to comment! (If you want to send a private message to me, vox gives you that option just below the comments field.) And thank you for your good works! :o)
I also found you by a link and love your patterns!! I will be back often and have bookmarked you, you have such a talent!!
I just joined to let you know that I appreciate your patterns and I think you are quite crafty! Thank you so much for sharing all your hard work. I just can't get over how nice your projects are!

Thank you Thank you Thank you all so very much for your kind comments! I'm really thrilled that you are enjoying the peep patterns!! :o) And I thank you for taking the time to let me know, as you've really given me a lift!
I'm sorry to be so slow in writing these, but eventually, I hope to have a nice collection of them done. I'm working on a pattern for Hello Kitty Peep just now, so look for that one in the future. Though, I can't say how FAR in the future. ;o)
