WELCOME TO ARTS & CRAFTS

This is where I showcase something creative I have made. It may be a drawing, my knitting, or another handmade craft I enjoy making. There’s a poll at the bottom for what I should share next. Do it please! 😘

Today, I’m sharing the pattern I wrote for Whally, the magical narwhal familiar, so you can make your own.

And given the difficulty I've had finding info on what knitting patterns I can and can't use for craft shows, I'm going to state upfront: You are welcome to make and sell handmade narwhals with this knitting pattern. All I ask is you give me credit for the knitting pattern. You can also share pictures of your knitted handmade narwhals with me. I'd honestly love to see them.

Then try you hand at knitting your own narwhal or a knitted DRAGON FAMILIAR. Remember to share pictures with me. I’d love to see them. But if knitting isn’t your jam, you can have me knit a familiar for you.
