Sweater pin for my granddaughter

[Charlie E]

Still on the sweater pin kick. Made one for my sister and her daughter, and this one for my 4 year old granddaughter. I let her pick what she wanted me to make. Such a diverse hobby we have.

Ohh, I really like that! What an awesome idea, well done.  Where do you find your designs or do you create them?

I haven't found any patterns. I've just been Googling wooden shawl pins and using the images as patterns. I make them the size I want on Inkscape and print 2 so I can use one for each piece of the pin. On some, like the mouse and the cat, it helps to sand a groove in the body part to help the head and tail stay in the right place if that makes sense. I don't think copyrights would be an issue on something like this. A real pattern would be easier though. They are really fun to make.

They look really neat, I'm sure they will be enjoyed and loved.
I can just imaging my mother going crook because they may pull a stitch
