Describe the girl behind Kittypinkstars…
kooky, knitted, pink, fuzzy, creative
I am head over heels in heart with your sock creatures. Tell us all about them!
I make long legged sock creatures in super bright colours and patterns and bring them to life with a little knitted treat!!!
When did you realise you were a fabulous-o creative girl?
I’ve always been creative really..since a little girl when my nan and mum taught me to sew and knit!! iIjust love making things!!
What was the first product you ever made?
Hmm..probably a badly shaped knitted blanket as a small fuzzy girl…but my first tutti frutti sold was bananas!! He now has his own myspace and is a honorary ren faerie in the usa!! all the ren faeries have one!!!
What are your current favourite items?
I have a few creatures needing homes at the moment!! my favourites right now are the fuzzbees…all pink and fluffy and especially for valentines day!! I’m inspired by…my little boy!! (love brings anything to life!! especially big kid love!!)
bright colours and my love of sweet treats!!
What’s the secret to your success?
Loving what i do….believing in myself and just being different!!
Do you have to be all business-y too?
No way!! i’m just a funny little cartoon character girl working away at making people smile!!!
What’s a typical day in the life of Kittypinkstars…
Getting my little boy ready and off to school…then patterns, plans, mailing and more creatures!!
What’s your ‘must-have’ accessory?
Well I can’t leave home without my pink plastic rings or I feel totally undressed and always a knitted doughnut or cakes badge…long stripey socks with fluro pink converse……..i always wear something pink!!!
What’s your favourite brand and why?
Converse because they rock!!! and johnny cupcakes t shirts are the cutest and coolest!!
and My Paper Crane for plushes!!
What would a Kittypinkstars soundtrack sound like?
Like an indie film…but with lots of Super Furry Animals and Flaming Lips thrown in!!
Do you have a style bible – a magazine, book that you completely dig?
Both Fruits books….Fruits and Fresh Fruits by Shoichi Aoki - the ultimate style bibles!
What makes you jump-in-the-air-happy?
my little boy…pink..kittens..new wool ..sunshine…cakes..crushes….beachy days!! so many things!!
What’s next in Planet Sock?
I’m just making a sock plush for the medical experiments show in Asheville USA!! Hoping to get a website set up this year and teach myself to crochet!!!
What advice would you have for would-be design girls?
Be yourself,enjoy yourself and follow your heart!!!!

Kittypinkstars is THE BEST!! She is lovely and fantastic and PINK!! She is also a knitting guru, is there anything she can’t knit??! Her sock creatures are SO much fun - I am totally addicted to them. If you don’t already have one, ADOPT ONE TODAY, you won’t regret it and you will be the envy of all your friends (until you adopt one for them too, lol)!! XxxxXx

These creation are wonderful and its so refreshing in this corporate world to have a true “indie” talent creating these creatures out of love and hard work rather than just chasing the cash cow.
These beautiful creatures represent the wonderful lady behind them and as create lots of happiness for people all over the world every day, as does she!

I am Merry Cherry’s mom and I just want to say how much Kitty PinkStars rocks! When I first saw Bananas and Wits, I thought they were the most adorable things ever!
I knew I had to have one, so I custom ordered one in my favorite colors and he’s wonderful! He goes everywhere with me and we have taken trips and made new friends and it truly is an extended family for those of us who are SOCK-er moms and dads.
We Love Kittypinkstars!

Wits
KittyPinkStars is one of the MOST creative humans I know!! She adds love and kindness to each of her creatures then sends us to humans who take that love that spread it around the world!
I’ve gone on SO many adventures with Rae, Dee Dee, and Merry Cherry since I was sent to America! We love taking pictures!
With love that NEEEVER quits….
…Wits…

Thank you KittyPinkStars for sending Wits to me…
I cant stop smiling!! He makes me so happy…
Wits LOVES taking pictures with me!!
My favorite thing about PlanetSock is the way you give each of the creatures personalities to go along with the mom’s who are going to adopt them! Wits has ALL the same intrests as me!
Coincidence? I think not…That was all KittyPinkStars!!
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!
