PATTERN ONLY: As a child, I loved Santa's helpers as much as I did Santa himself. The idea of hundreds of little people with pointed ears rushing around singing Christmas songs and making toys in his workshop kept my imagination busy for hours in the weeks leading up to Christmas. So of course, I just had to bring one of them to life in crochet.
I trust you will enjoy making him as much as I have in designing him.

I am from Johannesburg, South Africa.
Some would comment that I live in my own little world of imaginary creatures and all things fey. To them I ask, does the wind not exist simply because we do not see it?
Whether it be an old bottle cap, a skein of yarn, scraps of material, a piece of wire or a block of wood, I love to spend time creating things of whimsy that I trust will be found to be fun, refreshing and enjoyable to others.
I am also a published cross stitch designer having done work for and with Quick & Easy Cross Stitch magazine (UK), Cross Stitcher magazine (UK), Jeanette Crews Design (USA) as well as DMC Paris.
