Congratulations to Helen.
I have to tell you, this book, Knitted Fairy Tales
by Sarah Keen, has kind of ruined my life.
It’s so cute, full of characters and accessories from 15 different fairy tales — from “The Little Mermaid” to “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “The Three Little Pigs” — that it just makes me want to knit a bunch of little characters and tuck them in a storytelling basket for my daughter for Christmas.
This is a bad idea because my to-knit list for the rest of the year is already immensely longer than can possibly be accomplished.
You can bet I’m probably going to do it anyway.
The Sleeping Beauty is a flip doll, awake on one side and asleep on the other. People! Can you see my problem?
If you’d like to become similarly afflicted, or you just want to knit some really cute dolls to go along with your (or a child in your life’s) favorite fairy tales, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, November 8.
I’d love to know your favorite fairy tale, though I don’t know if I have one. Probably “The Three Little Pigs” is a sentimental favorite, since I performed it in high school. I think I was pig number two, but I don’t remember!
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!
Sleeping Beauty
I just love Beauty and the Beast.
The one where the swans turn into dancers. Google says it is ‘the Wild Swans”.
My favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast. The very first date I had with my husband of twenty years was going and seeing the Disney version of this fairy tale. Any man willing to go see a animated fairy tale for a first date is worth loving.
Three Bears still bring delight–I am a big fan of bears!

My favorite fairy tale was Little Red Riding Hood!
With 4 little granddaughters to knit for, I can always find a book like this usefule.
My favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast.
It is hard to pick one, but I would have to say Cinderella is my favorite.
My favorite fairy tale is Sleeping Beauty, thanks!

I do not have a favourite but would love this book. Thank you for the giveaway chance
I have 11 grandchildren and even the older girls would love me to make something from this book. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy.
Love all fairy tales!
Sleeping beauty.
oh…how to pick a favorite??? I love them all! Would love to have this book to make fairy tales come alive for my granddaughters..
love ’em all, but will say Sleeping Beauty, just cuz
My favourite has to be Seeping Beauty – I always wanted a spinning wheel!
Should say Sleeping Beauty!
Awww ,I love Puss in Boots!
Rapunzel ?.. Not sure that’s a fairy tale.
I love Jennifer’s story about Beauty and the Beast. I think my favorite is Sleeping Beauty.
I think it’s a toss up between the Three Little Pigs and Red Riding Hood. Both every favorite classics.
I like the sound of the topsy-turvy Cinderella doll – and that is probably one of my favourite fairy stories along with Puss-in-Boots.
I always loved Sleeping Beauty growing up
If I had to choose a favorite, I would have to say it is The Princess and the Pea
Beauty & the Beast. One I used to have nightmares about was one eye, two eyes, three eyes, a variation of the Cinderella story.
I always adored little red riding hood and sleeping beauty
