Isla the snake!

I'd like to introduce you to my most recent creation.
This is isla the fair isle snake. Isla with a silent s which is quite ironic for a snake!
I made her on double pointed needles which I've never done before.
I'm actually quite proud of this knitted make actually as I've successfully managed to do a range of knitting techniques.
For some reason, everyone I've shown has really really loved her. I think it's her colourful body and characterful eyes. Hey! She's like Kaa from the jungle book hypnotising everyone with enchanted eyes!
What effect does she have on you?

I WANT ONE

Your best one to date - a real character.

Are you taking orders?

She is pretty cool isn't she. I'd say my favourite knit so far too.

I can do orders definitely!!

Just let me know what you want and I can do it for you no probs!

Great! can I put in an order for one in blues and greens.
I fancy one resting along the back of the sofa. This is a commision
transaction - don't forget p/p.
A bit of gold colour in it would fit in with the decor.
How about starting a catalogue?

I'll get onto that then!
I'm wanting to start to learn how to knit your own toys. If that all goes well then I could make my own little pattern book!
