just the cutest

but why with all the finishing general consensus is that following the pattern to BO & pickup sts is preferable to any kept live & work together/graft combo so even though it’s tedious & doesn’t Feeeel as elegant as seamless things, it prob really is the best way… & gave me a lot to think about regarding TKGA’s professional knitters course qualifications.

12mm safety eyes & they’re a bit too big but I never seem to have the 9mm on hand anymore.

all feet have parts of plastic bags as stuffing (some have half a handle, one has the seam, the remaining bag cut into 4 loops will do for 4 paws, etc.)

the sweet delight pomp wasn’t as tight as gauge as necessary for keeping the polyfil inside so I whipped together a small fleece cube & secured the eyes + nose through that then stuffed, seamed, & mattresses stitched the pup around it.

34g of the peach, ~72yds
28g of the mint¹ ~85yds
maybe 50g of the gold sparkle, ~88yds

calling it around 245 yards for all 3 pups, mostly an estimate & would not base any future projects on this yardage.
