I gave the shawl a break and yesterday afternoon I started this:
This is Sheldon from the Winter 06 Knitty. Well it's Sheldon without his legs and shell.....those will follow soon. I have one leg on the needle right now. I don't have the plastic eyes so I used some yarn for the eyes. Lets just say I'm not very good at it. I'll practice a little more before I make the next one.
I don't want the plastic eyes because I want Bree to be able to play with it and small things like the plastic eyes are too much of a worry for choking on. So I'll be sticking with the yarn eyes.
I need to go feed the kiddos some lunch. For some reason they think they need food....I'm not sure who gave them that idea. :~)
Cute toy! I have never tried knitting toys, but it looks like a great project for little ones. the blog is looking so good. Holy crap, what a list of FO's you have. I take one step forward and two back. Hope everyone is well and gearing up for the big day.
ReplyDeleteawwwww....that's going to be cute. didn't know what it was until I followed the sheldon link. I sat for a minute or so going"hmmmm a funny rattle, a knit spoon with eyes"....then I said, ahhh a link! LOL Cute turtle! :)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was looking a little like a spoon, too! He's going to be very cute, and who needs plastic eyes - the yarn ones are perfectly fine!
