oh boy! i got a new pattern from hansigurumi... a garden snail! this time i have had much more success than the octopus! i'm already in love with him, just from looking at the shell. i am amazed at what i can do with knitting. i can't believe hansi can write these amazing patterns so well!!!!! she's the coolest!
ok, i'm having another go at blogging... this time it'll be more about knitting than photography.
here is my new favorite toy-the jellyfish. i used berroco's alpaca yarn... fancy, i know! but it didn't really take too much and it's also what i had available at the time. the two needle felted hedgehogs don't really know what to think of their fancy new neighbor.
the pattern is by hansi at etsy http://hansigurumi.etsy.com
i also just finished her octopus, too. i totally flailed with some of the short rows around his neck, but luckily it's dark yarn and i could fill in the holes when i was sewing his mantle to his legs. i don't really know what i did wrong-i think i just lost count a couple times. i'm gonna make another soon and we'll see.
