Toys, toys, toys.
I got off my lazy butt, and I wrote up the pattern for the "A Pair of Hearts" Socks. You can just click on that link, or you can find the pattern up there in the top right hand corner of your screen.
Warning: I read it over, and it looked alright to me, but it has not yet been test knit, so it may be chock full of errors. I'm hoping not.
The other little picture I showed you a glimpse of in my last post was Elijah's head! This is going to be another gift for a friend, as is Sophie. I will have to pry them away from Emily first, though!
Elijah has grown a little in the past two days.
Ysolda is a genius. The patterns are so well written and have very helpful pictures, I highly recommend them! Picking up stitches on stuffed bodies is a little fiddly, but very worthwhile.
I have also bought the pattern for Otto, but he's a polar bear, and will be mine, all mine! (I guess that means I'd better knit Em a Sophie then, huh?)
Speaking of Sophie, it occurred to me when I was taking a picture of Elijah that I hadn't actually taken a picture of Sophie finished.
So I rectified that little oversight!

Yay!! Thanks for writing up the pattern. I'll let you know when I finish mine. (I now have an excuse to enter yet another Ravelympics event...!)

Posted by: sue at August 5, 2008 11:41 AMI've printed out the pattern, now I just have to decide which colour Patonyle to knit them in. Thankyou so much for writing it down and letting me know it was up on the site.
