Hedwig

Hello crafty friends!

My grand daughter's nursery is going to 

have a combined theme of Harry Potter and 

Marie from Aristocats.

I think it's going to be adorable and 

Jaryd, Sara and I have come up with some

really cute ideas that we'll be working on together.

And what Potter lover doesn't need a little

Hedwig?

Sara sent me a link to 

this pattern 

and I, of course, had to make one.

I found it pretty easy to make.

The only thing I changed was the eyes.

The pattern calls for little plastic eyes,

but I didn't want those for our

little Marie.  I did what I'll call a 

modified French Knot.
I call it modified, because when I 

wrapped the yarn around the needle, 

I wrapped it several times. 

This gave the eyes a little bit 

of  bulk, shall I say?
I think she turned out very nice.

I'd like to play with the pattern so I could make

another one that is larger.  

I don't have her here, 

but I think she measured about 

4" - 5" tall.

I'd love to make one that is 

double the size.

I've never tried to increase the size like

this, but I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks for stopping in,

come again soon,

you never know what you'll find on
