I have a new cat toy pattern! It's a little bird.The birds are about 3.5" high x 3.5" long. There are options to make it with or without wings and with a curved or a straight beak.
It is knit flat on straight needles. You fold the completed bird along the front edge and seam down the back of the head, tail and bottom. Since it's worked in garter stitch, seaming is easy. You just weave the yarn back and forth pulling the purl bumps on each side together.
While it's being test knitted by Marti, I've decided to have a blog contest to give it a name. Send me your suggestions and I'll pick my favorite.
The winner will receive a free copy of the pattern.
The contest is open until Noon (EST) on Thursday. You may enter as many times as you like. Email your name suggestions to junkyarn AT yahoo DOT com with a subject line of Bird Contest.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull. :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough with my cat, it'd be more appropriate to call it "Bye-bye Birdie" since it will be torn up in rather short order, or at least mangled significantly. :)
"Scully"
ReplyDeleteAll I can think of is the bird from the Little Mermaid. lol!
Have any of your patterns been converted to machine knitting?
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit your three of hearts shawl pattern. Looking at the pictures I think it could be done.
Nope! I'm a hand knitter and don't know how to machine knit.
