I collect characters—human and otherwise. You may have noticed that I'm a big fan of amigurumi-style stuffed animals. I just couldn't resist Squeak The Mouse when I saw him in this Leisure Arts ad.
Squeak is one of four knitted characters (each with it's own blanket) from designer Chris de Longpre's new book—A Collection of Characters. This book will introduce you to such compelling projects as the Snips and Snails & Puppy Dog Tails blanket and Woof the Puppy; the This Little Piggy blanket and Oink the Piggy; the Duck, Duck, Goose blanket and Quack the Duck; and, of course, The Mouse Takes the Cheese blanket and Squeak the Mouse.
As gifts for amigurumi collectors or for the little characters in your world, these four toys and their matching blankets are sure to be a big knitted hit!
