knitted creatures
I’m not a huge fan of knitted animals, or the funny little ‘whimsies’* that seem to populate knitting mags aimed at a certain age (most of them, in the UK)… However, I make the exception for knitted sea creatures… How could you not think that these knitted seahorses are amazing things? I think because they, and the rest of Hansi’s creatures, are so detailed and have an almost sculptural quality to them… I might be getting a little carried away, and I’m not sure I’d ever have the patience to actually knit any of them, but imagine a little herd** of woolly seahorses on a mobile, or a row of the very curly-shelled snails on a windowsill… 
*Obviously allowances had to be made in the case of the knitted cupcake!
** I had to look up what the collective noun for a group of seahorses was, and love the description for the snails too; an escargatoire – but let’s not get carried away
