Notes

Making Nicholas a Bon Bon for his Easter Basket. Orange is his favorite color (mine, too!)- so thought I’d go with this lovely pastel orange shade from deep stash. If all goes well I’ll make one for Atticus in different colors.

Holding yarn together to make worsted. Got eyes from 6060.

This little guy is so stinking cute!!! Didn’t turn out completely perfect, but probably nothing an 8 year old will get too hung up about. Not sure about making one for Atticus, since he is super rough on his toys- maybe I’ll wait until next Easter for that. In the meantime, I am totally in love with knitting toys! Less in love with DPNs, but I can live with it when the outcome is cuteness overload!

I’ll have to figure out a way to calculate Winter Camp points for this since I used fingering weight held double. That is math for another day.

Having a hard time with the math on this one… I used fingering weight, but knit with doubled up the yarn to make it a little thicker. Counting this as Sport Weight per this info.

Started with 101g, ended up with 38g- so I used a total of 63g for this. Counting as Sport instead of fingering, but please let me know if this isn’t right.

Total weight of yarn used: 63 grams
18 Points for sport weight
18 total points for Winter Camp
