I decided to try putting poly pellets in this toy. I loved how Susan's toys felt with a little extra weight to them when I went to her book signing at Nina back in March. I bought some muslin at Hancock fabrics, and then cut two ovals, stitched around the edges, turned it inside out, and filled it halfway up with poly pellets. Then I stitched the top closed. I am not the most skilled seamstress, but I think it will work out ok!
Anyways, the first foot and leg went great, but when I finished the second foot, I realized that it's bigger than the first one! Argh!! I don't really want to re-do it, but I will probably have to...or maybe I'll just take a break from this one and make a quick hat--always instant satisfaction. :)
I love the bunny, keep it up! I think with two different sized feet it would just have a lot of character :-)
ReplyDeleteI think 2 different sized feet is so natural...I mean, what bunny is completely proportional anyway? ;) I know I've got one side of everything bigger than the other! Lopsided bunny=endearing!
ReplyDelete:) This is a lovely pattern! Please don't forget the pretty sweater!
ReplyDeleteI always struggle with that old adage-Don't let the perfect be the enemy of good enough! But in the long run, you'll be happier with your work if you do it over and make it right, as long as you have the time to do so. This way you grow as a knitter, too, always seeking to improve! When I look at quilts that I made years ago, my eyes always travel immediately to the mistakes!
ReplyDeleteEven though I already know "the ending" to this story, it's neat to see your knitting process and see how Hop looked along the way! It's also reassuring to know that you make mistakes like the rest of us! ;)
