The Stuffed Horse I Made in Alaska:-)
Sep. 25th, 2007 01:59 pmThis was my first knitting project, and it was hard. I started out making tight stitches, then I was told I should make them looser for our felting project. I would often not notice I hadn't finished my row of stitches and switch prematurely to perling/knitting in the opposite direction. And one of the yarns
sand_piper had that I used didn't seem to felt well, so it might not have been the type recommended for felting projects. I did a horrible job sewing on the ears (that was the hardest part for me). Amber tried to comfort me, telling me that horse ears move independently of each other, anyway. The backside (and underside) I'm more satisfied with. I was running out of time on this project and literally finished it on the car ride to the airport. The tail and mane were completely experimental with only a few minutes of time left, so I think for that they turned out surprisingly well. I kind of wanted to try and make it a unicorn, but definitely no time to mess around with that (no pattern for it, either, so it would have been complete experimentation).
At the airport Amber took pictures of my horse with her herd, but it was with her camera phone and I don't know how they turned out.:-( Her pictures of her horses might be in a public post, though (
sand_piper).
I was also hoping I was making enough knitting to make two horses, but no such luck!>_< I have too low a frustration tolerance to try this project again on my own at this point, being such a beginner, so I don't anticipate making more any time soon. (Unfortunately, I am the type of boring and unadventurous person who doesn't like to do things I'm "untalented" at; I get way too frustrated and irritated).
