Mini Me…
So at the beginning of last week, I heard that friends of my wife and I were going to come into town (they live about 1/2 hour south of us). I figured, both of them like to do crafty stuff. Knit, crochet, sewing. Why not make something fun and quick for them as a small present.
So I finally found my book, on Wednesday, and found some small finger puppets that I thought would be awesome if I could make them look like our friends. Come to find out, I needed four-ply yarn for these little buggers.. I didn’t have any.
A trip to Michael’s didn’t turn up anything, and in my ineptitude about ply’s in yarn, I went ahead and used aran/worsted weight yarn.
- Finished LARGE puppets
Well these things turned out almost twice the size of the finger puppets, but I did get them done in two days. Started them on Wednesday, and finished them shortly before they arrived on Friday. One of my few FO’s that I’ve done.
I have found, that I need to learn to stitch better, because my mattress stitch really sucks big time.
It was a fun little project, that I ACTUALLY got finished. Come to find out she had also made me something. It’s called a nautiloid, it’s on Knitty’s 2006 issue. It’s pretty awesome.
Here are some more pics, and their counterparts.
