    Mine ended up looking a bit pear shaped… Literally!! 😀

  2. once i had finished the item (it only took me just under 2 hours to make and i’m a beginner) i knew straight away that my 3 month old daughter would love it.

    i dont get it but i will try anything!

  4. There may come a day when I fall in love with double pointed needles, but until then, I really appreciate projects written for two single pointed ones. I made a ball with just one color and with cheap red heart yarn on size 5 needles (as my smaller ones were holding other projects). It took less than an hour and turned out pretty cute. Thanks!

  5. hmmm i dont really understand how to sow it closed, it gets wierdly misshapen 🙁

  6. i wonder what row do you have to repeat
