Notes

2012 Nov 21
It took me about four hours to get everything all knitted up. Now I just need to let it finish blocking and sew it together.

I’m curious: why does the pattern have you block the pieces twice? Wet down to dry naturally then heat block it. I don’t like bringing out the iron, so I did a regular wet block.
….
It dried quickly so I was able to sew it all up on the same day I made it. A delightful one-day present!

I didn’t use any fiberfill, I just stuffed the bird with all of the yarn ends.

I’m a bit brain dead this week and ended up putting the legs on in the wrong spot. I’ve tacked them a bit to give them a better (more downward) angle.

Well, apparent the person I made this for actually wants stars so now my birdie has no home.
