Today’s toy is a knitted owl. Using Hobby Lobby’s I love this cotton in pewter, dove, and royalty, and a size 2 needle. I am not happy with the blue eyes, but my sister loved it, so I guess some child will love it. Enjoyed the color work on the front. It would also be cute with a cabled front. I used orange from a multicolored cake, just removed some of the orange.
Today’s toy is a bunny. I knitted a bulb shape, larger on the bottom tapering to the top. It is similar to a bunny I knitted earlier this month (https://craftingintx.com/2024/01/january-7-bunny/) Knitted with Mainstays chenille chunky with US 8 knitting needles (5 mm). I then thought it would be fun to add fabric to the ears…
Today’s toy is a knitted bear. I unraveled two squares I had crocheted in the variegated yarn and black. These squares were supposed to look like stained glass, but mine didn’t look that way. I would not have done anything with them, so rip it, rip it, rip it! This yarn is never ending! I…
Today’s toy is a bluebird of happiness knitted with Bernat blanket yarn and size 5 mm needles. This design is by Sara Elizabeth Kellner. I had to add the accents to the bird, the lines for wings and beak and the legs/feet because it just looked like a blue blob. Not happy with the yarn…
Today’s toy is a knitted bear. Using a pattern that is supposed to use Bloom yarn by Premier, I used the variegated yarn that I am still trying to use up! The pattern is knit flat and then seamed. I have never had an issue with that method, even for sweaters. I guess I am…
Today’s toy is a knitted bunny. I used the pattern for the Izzy bear, but I was trying out making it smaller. Adding longer ears for the bunny, I thought it needed feet. The way you stitch the seam down the legs section is great, but I decided to add feet and then arms. It…
Today’s toy is a knitted pig, but I crocheted all of the extra parts. The pig was knitted as a ball and then I crocheted four legs, a snout, ears, and a curly tail. Used Bernat velvet in quiet pink and Big Twist plush in black. I am pleased with this toy, very squishy.
