Batty
First, a Lego Star Wars family. My older son says this is daddy, mommy, himself, and his little brother in the minivan. For some reason, the parents are wookies, but the kids are ewoks. I think the display says much about his still-innocent worldview.
And because I took a picture of that one, I had to take a picture of this one too.
He's with his favourite "Honey Bunny", as he calls it, but everyone else calls it his "Fat-arsed Bunny", because it has a big bum. As soon as I put the new teddy-bear aikido dogi pants on it, the elastic broke. It upset the boy, who insisted that we buy his bunny a new pair of pants right away, but I just shrugged and said, "It's not my fault your bunny has a fat arse," and the name stuck.
Here's the knitting that's driving me nuts. This bat lace pattern is from Barbara Walker, 3T. The chart is very straightforward, with the usual symbols (/ = k2tog, \ = ssk, o = yo, B = knit tbl, inverted v = sl-k2tog-psso, and the bird track = sl2-k-p2sso). Should be simple to knit, right?
You'd think so, but then you'd be wrong. For me, at least. On the first bat at the bottom, I must've skipped row 24, the one with the eyes. On the second bat, even though I paid close attention to that row, I don't know what the heck happened. They're definitely not the cute bats pictured in the book.
So much for making a bat scarf. I tossed it aside in disgust. Sigh.
