Nearly ten

While I look around for something to ship the Izzies in, I've made a couple more, using the drive-by yarn and some lovely hand dyed red variegated.

Here's the next Iz in progress. As you see the shape is a simple rectangle. There's a bit of shaping for the hat, but the structure of the body is done after stitching.



And here's his predecessor, next to Iz #8

    1. As soon as I get a box or something, I'll send off however many I have before embarking on another group.

      It's like potato chips!

  2. So glad you showed this picture, Liz! I imagined that these were knit in the round. Your stitches are so perfect.

    1. I showed it to explain why I say it's simple knitting. A beginner could enjoy making this design.

  3. I think there's a pattern somewhere for knitting them in the round to avoid having to seam but I don't remember where I saw it. Either way, they will be loved.

    1. They're too small to knit comfortably in the round, only 32 stitches max. I've tried it but it's better for folks with big mitts like me to knit flat and stitch a seam.
