Notes

10/15 - Finished! I added a cute scarf made with Mosaic Moon’s “Ravensong” colourway. Isn’t he adorable? You can find him at a special birthday stocking at Club Thread on 10/21! See you there! :D

10/7 - Found some more yarn in the bottom of my bin. He just needs some arms and embroidery now! Hope to have him finished in the next day or so…..

10/4 - Otto was looking a little more alien than animal. My husband thought I was knitting a duck. Mmmmhmmm. Issue? Too much stuffing in the head. As soon as I removed some of the stuffing, he started to look a little more proportional.

His snout still needs some work, I think I’m going to have to insert a life line and frog back some. It sounds like others have decreased the amount of knit rows, and decreased every row at the snout. And I need to find some more yarn, I’m officially out of this colour.

10/4 - I think I’m running out of yarn…. eek!
