I made a new critter. This time I left him bald, bumped his eyes up to the top of his head, and gave him one eyelid and a mouth, so he doesn’t look as inscrutable as the other guy.
He’s made of chunky yarn, and I worked him a bit too loose for a plushy, so he’s going in the washing machine to get felted down. He’s my experiment.
Once he’s down to his final size, I’ll make him something to wear. Maybe a little turtleneck and a jaunty beret. No, maybe not. With a head like that, turtleneck would probably be a hard sell. Ooh, but a striped boatneck mime shirt would work. And then I still get to make the beret. Although he looks a little too playful and innocent to be French. I know! A sailor shirt! Perfect!
Right now he’s really big, about twice the size of the other fella. Or girl. I can’t figure out what sex they are. Maybe they’re asexual, like Tribbles or Mogwai.
Here they are together. You can really tell he’s knit too loose when you compare them. It looks even worse in person.
In other news, hooray the book again! I just got the second dummy. They put back the extra patterns, and it’s pretty as a picture. I just can’t say enough nice things about it.
How about that? Me, with nice things to say?
Hello! I came here via a link about the Katamari hats – very nice!
I like your Pikmin in the title banner – do you have a pattern for it, or is it something that splurged straight out of your brain?
D’oh! Just found the search box and the story about the little fella!
