Tada!

OK, so sometimes I start something and it takes me a while to finish. I get around to it eventually. Anyway, last summer I started trying to knit a stuffed caterpillar. It was not easy seeing as I knitted the whole thing on 3.5" needles -- four of them. I wrote about it back then because I was having such a hard time before I got my "toothpicks" as hubby calls them.

I played with the pattern of course, or at least the colors. Then, here and there I would come back to my little project. I Think it turned out pretty good. It looks like a caterpillar, antenna and all. I won't be making two of these, but I've got a pattern for a little zebra and a lion that I'll hopefully finish before all the kids I know graduate from high school.

 

The pattern I used is in the background. I used whatever yarn I wanted and made up my own colors, too. I didn't know how to do what the instructions rather unclearly tried to direct, so I made that up. Where there's a will, there's a way.
