A splash of welcome, bright colour in a white winter - Winter Berry Slug brings the same kind of quiet smile to those who see it.

Winter Berry Slug comes with its own tag and gift box. Made with very soft wool yarn and stuffed with pure wool. He/she is a big slug at about 3.5" long and about 0.75 tall at fattest point./squidge

My slug history:

Eeeww! Ugh! Why would anyone, especially a gardener like me, spend their precious hours on Earth knitting slugs? Absolutely no idea!

I hate it when I feel that squelchy-squelch underfoot and hear that wet hissy-sigh that means I’ve accidentally stepped onto a slug. And how they curl up dying! Aww!

So to make up for those dead ‘uns I offer up to the Slug King/Queen these small tokens of his/her kin.

Now I can’t stop making them! I am in love with them! I seem to be the only person I know who thinks they are adorable! No, I tell a lie, my daughter loves them too – they gang up on her hedgehogs.

Yes, snails are lovely but slugs – ah, these are the voracious thugs, the slithering carnivores of the damp undergrowth, watch out beasties here come the big boys/girls!

These things move so slow they can creep right up on you – once I looked down to see a giant leopard slug on my ankle, ARGH! I did the ‘get it off me!’ dance for several minutes that time.
