Here’s an opportunity to try before you buy!

Hello! My name is Beauty

The upcoming year 2013 is the Chinese Year of the Snake
Would you like to make your friends and relatives happy with an adorable gift for the New Year? Knit me!

You can use me to decorate dining table, put me on the shelf or put me in a co-worker’s drawer for fun. You could even make me for a mum expecting her baby in the Year of the Snake.

I can be a boy! Knit me Christmas hat instead of the girls hat.
I am very kind, positive and inspiring and will be your good luck charm for the whole next year!

You can knit me in any color and I promise I will not take up much of your time or yarn.

Look in your stash of yarn, find something you like and get started!

A handmade gift will warm anyone’s heart!
