Starting with Red Heart and Lion Brand acrylics for a washable baby toy for Xander.

Thought I had stuffing around the house … No go until I go shopping. And need to get a lot for there will be many little sheep…

Cast on DK Swish in Bordeaux and double strand of Berroco Ultra Alpaca in Steel Cut Oat.

23.01.2017

Done with the first one. He looks like a Larry …

24.01.2017

Done with the little DK one. I’m calling her Cherrybomb. :)

25.01.2017

Cast on double strand of MadTosh DK Twist in Undergrowth and Lion Brand Fishetmen’s Wool. The last one wasn’t stiff enough after washing. Will redo a body eventually.

Decided to try this one’s body ITR after 9 rows.

26.01.2017

Done with #3, name’o Blue. Adjusted increases and decreases as well and I prefer the ITR method. It allows one to choose the best looking angle to assemble without having to consider a seam. Also considering kitchner.

So instead of increasing two in one stitch I increase one by ktbl and ptfl over two stitches and decrease the stitch count by one between increases. I like the way it looks better.

Did another body for Cherry in the round. Took off the feet and tail stuffed her as is into the new shell and reassembled. Much better, should have held double in the first place and the Swish loosened way up in washing.

28.01.2017

Cast on for a second in acrylics as requested for Stephen.

Didn’t intend to finish today, but it worked out that way. So Stevie Ray is # 4.

29.01.2017

Cast on in MadTosh OOAK yellow-green. DK held double.
