How do we crafty types love Etsy...too innumerable to count eh? It's so fun to cruise the site and admire all the wonderful handmade items from handspun yarns and knit toys to beautiful illustrations and other artworks. Hmmm what fun. Here are a few favorite finds from today's surf trip — all knit stuffies.

Ah this Etsy seller Debi van Zyi [and her other site] has adorable knit beasts, "Joost & Piet," love the use of big buttons — see the other fabulous creations "Miles" and "Serge."

Elefelt, custom sewn felted elephants from old sweaters.

Elise the elephant. Love the whip stitch felt ears together with the knit body — and what a great shape that up stands so well.

A cute brown bunny. This site links a treasure site of knit toys patterns by Barbara Prime @ fuzzymitten.com.
