Inspired - Knit jumpers with fancy dancy designs

I've had abit of a hard week,  but have a smile on my face because I'm all excited about knitting a jumper with fairisle/intasia pattern and totoro's! totoro's!

How gorgeous are these patterns - 

1.14 totoro's knitted from strikkefrenzy's paper-dolls pattern

so so pretty!



2. MAJESTIC MOOSE by Andi of untangled knots.
(how awesome is her smile) Pattern found on knitty here 


I'm knitting up totoro swatches tonight before I decide which wool to use.

Anyone else know any awesome similar style patterns for free or cheap? I managed to shrink my knitted fairisle dress in the wash (sad face) and thinking about making another. After knitting up these two above I recon i'll have enough experience!



Love Barnicles.

ps I've just joined instagram - you can find me @Blue_Barnicles
