They quickly took on their own collective personality, and I had so much fun featuring them in blog parties that I now look for new excuses to make up adventures with them.
More about them & new adventures on the way soon!

A Korknisse conundrum
So I’ve made “Korknisse” for years and have featured the little scamps in various whimsical posts here on the blog. And I always called them “Korknisse” because, well, that’s what the pattern said they were called. In all the years…

It’s Mad Tea Party time!
