I had some more Baby Bobbi progress today at home at lunch, I stuffed and I blogged! Hurrah for living and working in the same neighborhood! Two posts in one day, I’m a knit-blogging machine! Well, I will be gone for a whole week, I know, disappointing my massive readership of three, one of which I will be with at the beach, so I’ll just have to think of funny things to show and tell her while I’m there. Such as: Hey! That cloud looks like Robert Goulet! Or- Does this sunburn make me look fat? Or- LOOK! a crab fell in the pool and died! But probably more like- I finished another cocktail, let’s Ro Sham Bo to see who has to get up and make the next one.
I put stuffing in the BabyBobbi Bear. (see the gi-normo head?) It is so soft and huggable, let’s hope it will also be cute, massive teddy bear melon and all.
Here is the arm hole:
This technique is proving to be a tad more difficult than I thought it would be. It might be the smaller needle size and the boucle yarn, I’ll let y’all know when I make one in a different yarn. I have some leftover Knit Picks Shine Sport in Hydrangea from my keyhole top that also wants to be incarnated as a Baby Bobbi Bear. For real. It asked me if it could be a bear and go live with Ashlyn. I know, when your stash starts talking to you it is a warning sign that it is time for vacation.
As far as the Baby Bobbi Bear being kind of… big, I do believe the original Bobbi was something like two feet long. This particular one is not so much ‘miniature’ as it is a good , solid hugging size.
