Sam!

So I mentioned I finished a knit project, but could only post photos once it got to its recipient. Well, here's Sam! I am so proud of him.



His Ravelry page is here! He was remarkably simple to make once I got past the original issue with the pattern (check the pattern comments, they're super helpful). And he's now happily living in his new home!

Oh, he's adorable! His new owners are lucky to have him. :D

[alchemistdoctor]

Thank you! I was so pleased with how he turned out.

omg he looks perfect!! How long did it take you to make him? He’s so cute ❤️

[alchemistdoctor]

Not long; Ravelry says 4 days but there were lots of breaks in there. If I were going to estimate actual knitting time, I'd say 5-7 hours. Absolutely worth it.

Aw, how precious! I'll bet the recipient was thrilled. I know I would be. <3

She says he’s been thoroughly snuggled, so I think you’re right!

aww, what a cutie!!

[alchemistdoctor]

Thank you!

Very cute. Nice to see a knitted one vs crocheted.

[alchemistdoctor]

I'm decent at crocheting flat things, but my skills at crocheting amigurumi are completely non-existent. I lose my stitches. XD Knit's the only way I've managed to complete any sort of plush toy.

He is amazeballs!

Thank you!!

He looks soft and cuddly and most importantly has that kind but blank face which is vital for a teddy so his person can project all the feelings on to it.

[alchemistdoctor]

I worked so hard to get that face right. He needed to be friendly and gentle but not expressive. I'm glad somebody noticed!
