Notes

I’ve been om night stifts pretty much exclusively since the 27th. of December… I’m kinda starting to miss everyday life! This has mostly been completed when I got home - there’s nothing like an adrenaline rush remnant from work to keep you awake for knitting ;)

He’s just lovely… :)

NOTES

  • yarn held double, except for the eyes
  • eyes and beak done on 4 mm; Cascade held single, Filcolana held triple
  • had to rip the bottom, I was running short on yarn and thought the bottom could be made from whatever, whereas I wanted soft ears! Not a problem, and easier to stuff this way around, I suppose.
  • That beak must be something of the most fiddly I’ve ever done! Argh! Turned out okay though…
  • I might consider (steam-)blocking this before stuffing it, if I do it again - I think my uneven tension is showing a bit too much ;)
