Doesn’t Follow Directions Well
And I’m talking about me, not Jordan!
So a few days ago I posted my lovely first attempt at knitting- the fish. The second attempt was supposed to be a ball, and it ended up looking more like a taco. Then I tried to teach myself how to knit in the round with 4 needles so I could try to make a “Bob” Well, Jordan has taken my 4th needle, and I can’t find it. So I still haven’t knit anything else. Then I started looking online for free crochet patterns for toys, and found a really cute snake pattern that called for the same yarn that I had just bought (camouflage yarn- how cool is that?) so I thought I’d try it. I made it 2 steps into the pattern, and gave up. I decided to create my own pattern. Here is what I ended up with:
I’m pretty proud of myself, especially since I’ve never made anything 3D until this! (Unless you count hats) Jordan seems to enjoy him as well. We still need to name him. I found another free pattern for a teddy bear and about 4 different patterns for clothes. We’ll see if I can follow those directions.

I love to knit too! I have an email somewhere where someone sent me a bunch of links to free patterns. I’ll try to find it and send it to you. I like the snake!
