The knitted Farmyard and fairy - tale fantasy Land

knitted castle
So, the Fantasy Land / knitted farmyard has become a real family endeavour, and is looking amazing, although still a way off completion still. My mother has knitted the fab castle and cottages, as well as the animals, and even my son's girlfriend (17yrs) has been making many many pom-pom bushes for me - Thank- You Alexa!
There was a set back with the company I used to buy the rug wool, no longer having the colour green I had been using, so I had to redesign the layout slightly, but I think it will work out ok.


The theme is generally classic fairy tales, so the castle can be for Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Rapunzel etc

Amazing knitted castle with working drawbridge



Farmers cottage




Knitted farm animals

Hansel and Gretel with the witch's Gingerbread House



Still to come are Cottages for little Red Riding Hood and possibly the 3 little pigs houses.
There will be trees in the forest for the wolf to be hiding in too!
