Started working on Mr. Foster from Knit Picks for a dear friend who is expecting after a color selection disaster for the intended baby blanket/sweater/hat set she was supposed to be receiving. Why I thought it was a good idea to make a blanket that looks like it belongs in someone's basement with the shag carpet and other really ugly things left over from 1974, I may never know, but it did seem like a really great idea at the time....
Mr. Foster is pretty cute, though, and I hope will make a nice substitution. If I can just get him done by tomorrow morning.... Thankfully, the amazing boyfriend has offered to help me stuff him once I get done knitting. I am not sure there is going to be room for two people to work on this little guy, but it was awfully nice of him to offer.
Stuffing the monkey with buckwheat hulls from this place, they make a very nice natural alternative to polyfill and the folks who sell them are really helpful.
Pictures to follow.
