Another Woobie

I made the puppy woobie, pattern by Kris Carlson, last year for a co-worker’s baby boy. This year, I made the Bunny Woobie for the same co-worker’s baby girl. Both times, I had a hard time preventing the stitches from twisting when joining in the round. This time, I placed the needles on a pillow with the provisional cast-on stitches on the inside of the circle before joining. That seemed to help.

That’s soooo cute! :inlove: I know she’ll love it!

That’s really sweet. Thanks for the tip on not twisting when joining in the round. I had no problem for a long time, now I seem to twist them every time. :gah:

Absolutely adorable! :inlove:

That came out so cute!!:inlove:

What an adorable bunny! That’ll be a much loved favorite, I’m sure. You knit this so well and you’re tip about laying out the knitting on a flat surface to avoid the mobius twist is a good one.

That is so cute.

AWWW…what a cute bunny!

It is just adorable. They will love it.:inlove:

That is absolutely fantastic! Bet the little girl loved it.

That is just too cute!!

Aw gosh, that is just too darn cute for words! What a great piece of true ART! Way to go!

very cute not sure what they are used for though. Is it like a play mat/blanket?

They are the lovey or blankie that a child often drags around with them. You can buy them in stores now (I’ve seen them at Target), but these are cuter. :wink:

Adorable.! I need to learn how to do a provisionaL cast on.; but, I haven’t found a video or instructions that make sense to me. Do you know of one? I’ve actually not started a project or 10 because I haven’t been able to figure it out :frowning:

I like the crochet cast on. There’s a video here in the cast on section. Here’s another one with photos if that helps.

I’ve started using Judy’s Magic Cast On for provisional cast ons. I just move the unused stitches to a holder (extra cable or waste yarn) and they’re ready and waiting for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pmxRDZ-cwo I learned to do it for toe up socks, then discovered it’s great for any provisional cast on.

You’re right. I forgot about that. I prefer the turkish cast on and I used it for a project recently instead of crochet cast on.

I haven’t been able to get the hang of using the Turkish cast on. I guess once we find something that works for us, the motivation to learn something new goes down. Maybe that’s why I haven’t kept trying. :shrug: With either cast on, there are no crochet stitches to mess around with and then pick out. :thumbsup: Great minds. :slight_smile:

I think TECHknitter said she just knits some extra rows at the start then cuts the yarn and ravels it out to leave live stitches she can put on a needle. I’m not certain it was TECHknitter, but I did read about it.

Love the cute smile on the bunny face… how sweet!
