taking my time with this pattern, it’s very involved.
the seaming is the most difficult part.

The kit is great, it came with everything including US 2.5 circular needles, a little plastic box with the color coded stitch markers, plastic eyes, wool roving to stuff Eeyore, a cute project bag and more than enough yarn to complete one Eeyore. The yarn is lovely and very soft.

I tried doubling the yarn as an experiment but it didn’t look good and I would have run out of yarn.

Re the pattern: I wish there were more photos especially of the belly and legs, some of it is confusing re how to sew up the parts. I found a few helpful photos in other knitters Eeyore projects posted on ravelry.

Sewing the seams and shaping is causing a lot of anxiety! I even knit the tail and ears first (without seaming the ears, I tried and gave up) first as a procrastination tactic .

I decided to sew seams and shaping up on the Right Side using mostly mattress stitchesque technique as it was too hard for me to do back stitching on the WS and make it look satisfactory.

I noticed some errors with the colored marker assignments once I got to the belly area so I reused the colors that were no longer needed at that point.

I also added extra markers where there is a bend in the back between the neck and foreleg but not a corresponding bend in the belly so my sewing up hopefully will not be too lopsided there.

I filled in holes in my knitting where my tension wasn’t tight enough by adding strands of yarn woven into the back side, that seemed to work better than adding overstitching. I messed up part of the belly the first time so I frogged that part and reknitted it, good thing I did because I had totally missed 3 repeats the first time!

I also redid the cast off of the hind legs belly side to be looser as they have to stretch enough to sew to the edge of the hind legs back side (15 sts across for both edges).
