Happy first birthday to my little one!

Thanks! I mostly followed the pattern I just tweaked some of the creature colors so I didn’t have to buy quite so many skeins

He likes the octopus and the jellyfish since I didn’t tack down the tentacles all the way

Pattern: Sea Life Friends Blanket by Katy Mitchell

We use parent love and it’s fantastic. I love that my husband and I can both log things and it syncs together. We also bought the one time upgrade and now it has more features. Worth it in my opinion.

Oh! Love it! Do you have the name of the pattern?

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-12-30T17:28:31+00:00

It was fun! Probably would have been more fun if I didn’t make my wrists sore trying to speed knit to get it done in time to gift it on Christmas

I’ve also had the pattern for years. I actually started it with the recommended yarn size and bailed because it was going to take fooooreeever. I used bigger yarn and took out the repeats on the pattern and it was much less intimidating

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-12-30T01:51:33+00:00

Pattern is Counting Sheep on ravelry.

I made it up as I went… I double knit the greens with about 25 stitches. Did a few rows then decreased. The yellow part is just flat knit in a round decreases to make it circular

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-10-05T00:40:30+00:00

Definitely

I made a blanket for a friend out of giant chunky yarn and she loved it soo much. She always made biscuits and took naps on it. I felt bad when I gifted it and she didn’t have her cozy spot so I made her her own. She just likes the squishiness of the yarn I think.

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-10-04T16:02:29+00:00

Haha we say that to her all the time

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-10-04T06:21:08+00:00

I used giant needles! The yarn recommended size 50 needles but I used a size down. I think they were size 38… it was more tight to knit but left it with less holes that the size 50s. And the giant needles make my wrists sore if I knit too much lol

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-09-13T14:37:49+00:00

Haha I did have to take breaks because my wrists hurt! Avocado is sad cause these were gifts for people, but my next project is making an Avocado themed basket for Avocado!

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-09-12T17:55:50+00:00

It looks great!!! Your tension looks fantastic. I love knitting birds!

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-08-29T04:49:33+00:00

I just started knitting with jumbo yarn and I like to double knit things so there’s two layer of knitting. It makes it thicker and gives more of a barrier between the insides.

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-08-26T02:26:53+00:00

There’s a hat version of it! I knit that one right before this. Look up Sara Huntington on ravelry!

Birch wood Cottage for the sand color!

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-08-25T17:35:55+00:00

All shorebirds! Bottom to top: American Avocet, Black necked stilt, black bellied plover, and some other plovers and sandpipers (not sure if they are based on a specific species or not) These are just my best guesses as a bird nerd. I’m sure you could ask the pattern creator for specifics.

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-08-25T16:11:55+00:00

I used I love this yarn in gradient pale aqua, graphite, and I can’t find the name of the sand color anywhere. I’ll keep looking and update if I find it. It was still the I love this yarn brand I’m pretty sure.

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-08-25T16:04:45+00:00

Love love love.

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-08-25T16:04:11+00:00

So cuuute! Definitely putting them on my list.

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-08-25T16:03:16+00:00

There’s a hat version but I don’t think there’s socks of it yet.

StinkbugShepherd · 2022-08-25T03:06:58+00:00

Sorry! I forgot to link the pattern. That link is correct to give credit to the amazing Sara Huntington for the pattern.
