aaaaand… he’s done!

Work in progress.  The creepy stage.

Kailani the mermaid

Theodore pattern + size 3 needles + loopy acrylic yarn = interesting result. 

The fact that you can’t see his stitches makes him seem less like a knitted toy and more like something that just exists.  He looks like he wandered out of a stop-motion Christmas special.

Christmasy yarns for making Christmasy toys.  Going through several skeins a week and holiday orders are coming in full-swing.

All yarns are Cascade 220.

I’m finishing up work on my first ever pattern collection, and hopefully within a couple of days the “Little Holiday Knits” pattern collection will be available through both ravelry and etsy.  All of my holiday patterns are included, as well as Theodore the Teddy and Marisol the Mouse (version 2.0).

Life story of a knitted toy

Oatmeal the Snowman pattern is up and running.  Check him out on etsy and ravelry now.

“What will we call him?”
“Yeah, shall we call him Harold?” “Or Bruce?” “Or Christopher Columbus?”
“How about Oatmeal?”  ALL: “Oatmeal!?”
