Your mobile is FAB!
oh my goodness, these are amazing, you are always so clever and inspiring, thanks so much for your lovely sharing xx

I forsee these hanging from every fan pull in the house! Thank you for the pattern!
Oh! We’ve been having something of a bat-themed crafty weekend here, so these would be so fitting. And your bats are not only wonderful but they even appear easy(ish) for this novice knitter. Well, easy(ish) if I could just keep count of my rows.
Thank you!
How cool are those…. :0)
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Linda! Love the bats!
I also love your banner. I have never been to a beach like that – so enchanting.

Another lovely pattern, I have lots of bits that could be used up making these. Thank you xxx
Very cool!
This is so cute <3 I would actually love to have this hanging for christmas heeheee
I am going to knit all of these autumn knits together and create a display. Thank you for the lovely pattern.
Love the small bats!! Will be a nice little project for next years Halloween. Thank you.
Also love the knitted flowers and autumn leaves – what a creativity!
What a great, simple pattern! These bats would be great on a window, AND would last much longer than the paper cutouts I’ve been using for years. Thanks for the design!
Oh my stinkin’ heck! Halloween is past but I have got to make some of these!!!
I absolutely love this pattern – so quick, simple and so much fun to make! I made four of these adorable lil guys today for a Halloween display, and I’m starting to worry that my apartment will be engulfed in them by Christmas. There are so many of your other patterns that I’m dying to try now too! Thanks for sharing =) x
These are so darn cute for halloween or batty decor as I would do for everyday, just as a conversation piece!!!!!!!!!
Bat mobile LOL. 😀
I hope this still will reach you, as the pattern is 10 years old now. But, I have to tell you, it’s adorable!,
And super easy.
Thank you so much for posting this. I love it!
