Carnation Piggy by yarnmiracle

Knit with hand-dyed and spun wool from farmgenevieve.etsy.com, Carnation Pig by yarnmiracle measures an action-packed 14.75 inches from head to toe. His floppy arms, legs, ears and curly cue tail are securely attached and his little piggy eyes are embroidered with organic cotton to avoid small parts. Carnation is stuffed with Eco Wool Filling (wooly stuffing that is both predator and sheep friendly) for an extra huggable middle. Carnation Pig's wooly pink wool comes from a small flock of well-tended Jacob sheep - a critically endangered breed.

When this Companion finds a home (he is $130), I will donate $20 to my local humane society, the Baldwin County Humane Society.

Ravenwood Cashmere Bear by yarnmiracle

This Bear from yarnmiracle is beautiful and winter white. He is made from cashmere, the most hibernation-inducing fiber on the planet! That's not just any cashmere, it's sustainable cashmere grown in Washington state by the happy and well cared for goats of Ravenwood Farm. Visit Delia's blog when you visit her site for some wonderful stories about the goats and the amazing dogs who look after them.

Here at home, I measure the coldness of the nights by the number of cats in my bed in the morning. Last night was a three cat night. I suspect that is going to be the trend for the rest of the season.

Snuggle up!

Itty Bitty Turkey Knitting Pattern by yarnmiracle

"Itty Bitty Turkey" by yarnmiracle wants to remind everyone that, although he is high in fiber and potentially organic (depending on your yarn choice for the pattern), he is meant to be decorative and there are plenty of other options for a holiday feast.

As for us, we haven't had a foster in a while, but operation Provide Lady Bird with a Warm Lap is going well this fall. I have only to sit down for a minute before she appears. This makes using a laptop computer awkward, but the purring makes up for it.

Wool Lamb Toy by yarnmiracle

Nothing can get much cozier than a woolly lamb, like this charming creation by yarnmiracle! His fleece are from the cozy, happy sheep of another Etsy seller (shadysidefarmstudio) and his stuffing is equally snuggly and predator-friendly eco-wool. He will definitely keep you warm on a rainy night.

Yarn Miracle Animal Update:
Daisy (our current foster dog) is off on an overnight auditioning a new family. Daisy being Daisy, I am sure her potential family has had NO sleep at all because she is SO EXCITED to be there. Y'all cross your fingers that they love her anyway - she loves their big fenced yard.

William Henry reports that the kitchen trash can is still delicious. He loves the edges of Ellie's phony bologna sandwiches. Without mustard, please. I'm glad they don't go to waste.

Licorice Spider - Hand Knit Organic Cotton Spooky Toy by Yarnmiracle

He's completely spooky. And he wants your candy. Come to think of it, I want your candy too...If he sits down beside you, don't run off! This spider is a gifted conversationalist and will keep you entertained for hours. You can't judge a book, you know. We've got a house guest at the Miracle Residence. We picked up a little black and white short haired terrier looking dog girl on the uninhabited portion of a county road. Our city's brand new shelter is already over crowded, so she'll be staying with us until her people come looking for her (which I hope they do, all the vets/shelters/animal Control people know where she is) or we can find her a new home through our local humane Society, BARC. I am very glad that we have an office off of the main house to use as her apartment - a couple of the permanent cats don't appreciate the merits of canines and this Little Girl is the kind of canine who likes to chase cats all around.

Itty Bitty Chestnut Chicken - Hand Knit Organic Cotton Little Red Hen by Yarnmiracle's Shop

Itty Bitty Chestnut Chicken was made with from the Chestnut Fox's leftovers and is stuffed with extra independence for no extra charge. I almost didn't have enough yarn, so she's got a fashionable two-tone tail. Chestnut Fox (and the OutFoxed Pattern) are my COTM representatives for September and Defenders of Wildlife. Since I'm working on a new Chestnut Fox, are more Little Red Hens in the future? Maybe...and maybe it'll be Itty Bitty Foxies this time around. You never can tell with scraps.
Besides COTM, my focus today is on my personal Cat Rescue and Preservation Program. William Henry, our youngest formerly feral kitten, keeps getting himself locked under the kitchen sink with the garbage can. While this is a Dream Come True for William Henry, it is a less than ideal situation for me.

Itty Bitty Pelican - Hand Knit Organic Cotton Limited Edition Toy to Help the Gulf Coast by Yarnmiracle's shop

He's a bird, so it seems like he fits the "Look to the Skies" theme perfectly - what with all the powerful flying and diving and scooping up fish. This particular pelican won't fly as high as his wild cousins, but if you toss him up in the air, he will do his best to *imagine* soaring through the sky.

Since it's very beginning, my shop has been a way for me to support the rescue and adoption efforts of our local Humane Society. For each of my hand knit Companion Animals or Itty Bitty Playsets that sells, I donate $5 directly to Baldwin Animal Rescue. We also foster animals through that organization and help with adoption events as we are able. That happens less now that I have a toddler with a naptime smack in the middle of most adoptions, but I can at least still offer financial support!
