Quotes/Reviews


In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the animals are knitted tonight. This super-cute collection of 27 exotic animals, a four-wheel drive car and a knitted play mat to display them on is great fun for children and adults alike… they could make great stashbusters as well as brilliant knits in their own right.
