Hippo finally has a face!
In retrospect, I shouldn't have doubled up my embroidery floss (as if it were thread) because the face details look a little too black/thick. Next time I will just use one thread and knot it at the bottom. I love these toys, though! Which one should I make next? Giraffe? Baby doll? Koala mama and baby?
In other knitting news, I started my self-striping Vesper sock. I LOVE THIS YARN! The colors are so brilliant (even better than this picture shows). It looked like it was coming out a little too big, though, so I had to go buy a set of size 1 needles (eek!) and start over. Wondering if love of yarn will keep me going to make 2 socks?
I love the hippo and pig. They are adorablem
ReplyDeleteReally cute animals! I remember Susan B Anderson's doll was really cute and you could change the clothes. Drew might enjoy that.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the toys! I think you should do the koala mom and baby next.
ReplyDeleteYour socks look awesome! It stinks that you has to start all over, but luckily you're the speediest knitter in town! :) Can't wait to see the finished product!
Oops, I meant "had," not "has!" :)
