ReplyDeletethanks for the pattern, it's so adorable! I am going to give it a try, hopefully it will look half as good as yours! :)
ReplyDeleteI really love your Site,Thank you again for explaining over & over for people
ReplyDeletewho really trying to get it but can't. ..Also thank you for the stuffed animals
my newest grandson (will make him the 6th grandson) is due July,to you happen to have a Owl pattern anywhere?? Like a blanket?? Or know of anyone who might.?? Also Im looking for Owl patterns of all kinds,My daughter's making the baby room all Owls..Man i hope he doesent get scared!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH & HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!😊
Yes I do have an owl pattern, it isn't free but isn't too expensive and comes with video tutorial. :-) http://theideasandcreationsfromthemuse.blogspot.com/2014/12/owl-collection-patterns.html
DeleteWhen you start with 9 rows ewrapped, do you mean forward ewrap = 1 row, backward ewrap = 1 row, or forward + back = 1 row?
ReplyDeleteYes those are each a row.
DeleteThank you so much! I thought so but I wanted to be sure before I got further then got frustrated with myself
DeleteI clicked on your link to Martha Stewart 24 peg square loom at it says there is none.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if there is any possible way you could do a video on loom knitting a dinosaur. My god grandson is due to be born in May and they did his room in dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteI have a dinosaur planned but didn't plan on getting a tutorial done until later in the year. I have to complete my farm series before I start on my next series. I will keep it on the books for sure. As for the martha stewart loom kits, they are actually being sold at places like wal-mart and the like. The kit has gotten more main stream and easier to find.
DeleteHello Scarlett, I have a big doubt about this pattern, can you help me please? I don't understand when you say "Row 24: D1, P9, D1, P1" in belly: work flat. Is decrease one on each side and purl the remaining? thank you very much
ReplyDeleteYou are just decreasing on both sides. But it writes up that way.
DeleteI commented on the video as well but I thought I might get an answer here faster. I was wondering if I could do the drawstring cast on and also if I could alternate between a flat knit and e wrap like on the revamped teddy bear you did. Thanks!
