The Sinister Scribe

Sorry for the horrid photo. I finished this yesterday night and didn’t get a chance all day to get a shot outside with it.

The instructions are found here at Heart Strings Fiber Arts. The yarn is Pitter Patter by Baby Bee in Angel white (Hobby Lobby brand I believe). Knitted on US #3 DPNs. The resulting fabric is a lot like chenille. Oh so snuggly soft. If it wouldn’t take fer-bleedin-ever, I’d knit meself a blanket or something out of it.

I changed the ears a bit from what the pattern calls for. I knew they had to be just right to bring out the personality of this yarn. I knitted 14 rows before beginning to decrease. Then, before attaching them, I folded the base in half. It really helped them stand up I think.

The tail is the i-cord variation sewed into a cap-like spiral, stuffed with a little yarn bits and sewn on securely. With this yarn, the sewing just disappears like magic!

So I’m going to have to make a few more of these. This one is for the neighbor’s son who turned two on Tuesday.
