I came here through Knitty and just had to drop by and comment! These are so adorable, and I'm going to have to bite the bullet and knit me up a few [thousand] of these guys! I'd definitely recommend Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, too. Hi! I came here through Knitty and just had to drop by and comment!

As for a good sub ... I see a lot of suggestions for Cascade 220 but many think it might be heavier. I would like to chime in and say I have used the 2 in the same non-felted project together and they work up the same really. My second pinwheel has both peruvian highland from elann and cascade 220 and it came out beautifully. The friend who received it loves it. While there is a lot more yardage in the 220 it is easily accessible and has a WIDE range of colors. There are others that I have used, but I really think that these 2 are the closest. You can see both versions here... http://fairieknits.blogspot.com/2007/07/fo-fridayyou-thought-this-day-would.html Cute pattern!

I love knitting toys! And I am somewhat of an aquarist (is that a word?). Maybe "fishkeeper" is a better term. So I have bookmarked your blog and will be lurking on a regular basis! -mary ellen wow-

Thank you all so much for your wonderfully nice comments! I have been just overwhelmed by the positive response I've gotten from the Woodins, and I'm so happy to hear that many of you will be coming back to my site and trying out my other patterns. The best thing is hearing from the people who recognized the Woodins as Mochimochi!! I just try to design things that I can fall in love with, and it's cool to think that it's also turning into a recognizable style. And thank you very much to all of you who offered up yarn suggestions. It's great to get recommendations for experienced knitters! Murrie Dixon, aren't donkeys sweet? Your suggestion has gotten me thinking about election year projects.... Hi everyone!
