HI Val,
Thank you for the great new patterns. I knit the TRUCK for my nephew so is two yrs old and his fav word is Truck !!!!!
You asked for suggestions for new designs. Would you please consider making a bulldozer? Thank you.

Thank you all for the nice comments!
Susan, I will see what I can do to come up with a bulldozer...
Happy knitting,
Val
Genius! I know one small child who loves the garbage truck and it really makes his day when it arrives. He also points out every type of construction equipment to me. I think I now know the difference between a digger and a backhoe thanks to this kid. I love it that you've charted out these patterns.
My son LOVES garbage trucks. I really appreciate you posting this. I'm a new knitter, but this looks like I should be able to do it : ) My son is 3 1/2. He thanks you too.
