I am searching for the David Dart pattern for Gromit. I think there are two publications of it, a Patons pamphlet and a Women’s Weekly magazine publication, both out of print. Does anyone know where one of these can be found?
Thank you!
Did you try eBay? I found this info on Ravelry -
Patons #2239 for Gromit toy.
Patons #2207 is a Gromit Sweater
Patons #2240 is Shaun the Sheep
But I can’t find it online anywhere. :shrug:
A double thank you… I didn’t find Gromit, but mine was the winning bid for Shaun the Sheep, my second favorite. I got it from a UK knitting shop closing, so I’m actually the ‘original’ owner. happyhappyhappy
Hi,
I think you might mean Alan Dart- you might have more success if you search for Alan Dart on ebay, people are always auctioning off his patterns there. But beware- only buy the licensed character pattens from ebay (such as Grommit, Beatrix Potter etc) because all of his other ones- the elves, bears, realistic dogs and cats, penguins, mice characters, Christmas stuff etc is available much more cheaply from his site as a PDF download. www.alandart.co.uk
I love his patterns- the engineering in the toys is absolutely amazing. I subscribed to Simply Knitting just for the Alan Dart patterns even though it costs a fortune because I’m in Australia and it’s a UK publication. My Husbear gives it to me every year for Christmas.
