My apologies for not posting for a few days. Things have been busy around here. My nephew is almost 2 months old now so he's awake a lot more, requiring attention and playtime. He's just discovered his feet so we've been having fun with the old piggies rhyme.I haven't been completely idle though. Speaking of piggies...I finally finished the knit piggy I was working on as well! I believe we left off with the body, head and 1 leg completed last post. Since then...I've knitted the other leg and 2 arms and attached them.
I also added a curly lil tail and a bellybutton! I was thinking of making him/her an outfit...but I'm not sure I want to cover the bellybutton.
I also found a nice quick pattern for a toy ball that I just had to give a try, during my random link clicking.
I think I should have used blue for the center stripe instead of green. It's too Christmas-y. But it is bright and the wee one seems to like it, so I'm deeming it a success! It was also really easy to make.

I think of Jamaica more than Christmas, but it's a neat little ball. Did you stuff it with fiber fill or put beans in it like a hacky-sack?
ReplyDeleteTotally LOVE the belly button on that pig. So cute it's hilarious.
I used poly fill for the ball since I expect it'll end up in wee hands and I didn't want him breaking anything if he throws it. It is the perfect size for a hacky-sack though.
