Present in progress


Present in progress

I've recovered, at last, from the blue thing, and I'm starting to be more productive. Here's a present for the next baby in my knitting group. At the moment it's just a striped tube with bobble eyes, but it's going to have interesting feet.

babies love objects with contrasty black eyes ... they're programmed to love them!

Oooh, that could so nearly be a sock puppet. I'm having an idea...

It could certainly be a sock puppet. All animals are basically tubes!

I like the shape and colours. I look forward to the feet. I have never knitted a toy, all that shaping puts me off.

In my designs there's actually not much shaping and what there is, is not as complicated as making a sock. This one is going to have quite interesting feet, but the shaping part of them will be simple symmetrical decreases on alternate rows. I think a lot of commercial patterns overcomplicate things.

You are too modest. High time for a reminder of a certain magnificent frog...
