I’ve got a fun giveaway today in partnership with Woolly Tales.

Woolly Tales are lovely little picture books designed for babies and toddlers. Each book is a short simple story with a woolly main character and at the back of each book is the knitting pattern and instructions to make that character.

Isn’t that a fab idea?

My own kids are all grown up now but when they were little they would often act out stories as I read them with a variety of toys that were ‘close'‘ in appearance to the story book characters. I remember we used to have a lot of fun with the Owl Babies story and little Owl soft toys from Mcdonalds (when they were doing Winnie the Pooh characters) Close enough to be Sarah and Percy and Bill! How much more fun to have toys that are just like the characters in the book?

I’ve got 4 books from Woolly Tales to give away, they will be sent out randomly so I’m afraid you can’t choose which one you want. If you fall in love with the idea though you can buy the whole range from the Woolly Tales Etsy Shop.

Each book is just under 15cm square so a nice little size for small hands. The stories are just 5 double page spreads, with a line or two on each page and the pictures are just gorgeous, full of felt flowers, real pebbles, cardboard trees and yarn characters.

More details on the books, and some knitting tips and advice is available on the Woolly Tales Website.

At the moment Woolly Tales are selling these books just in the UK but I’m offering this giveaway worldwide - whoop whoop!

For your chance to win one of these lovely little books just complete as many of the entry methods on the rafflecopter below as you’d like to- please make sure you click the entries on the rafflecopter as well as doing the thing that’s required. (ie tweet about the giveaway but tell the rafflecopter you’ve sent the tweet too/ visit the fb page but click on the rafflecopter box so it knows you’ve visited) I like to use rafflecopter for giveaways so that the winners are picked independently from me - no cheating so my friends win of course!! - but it does mean each entry is a 2 step process; do the thing - tell rafflecopter you’ve done the thing, ok?

Good luck everyone!
