Didn’t think of that - but several sections, and thus, seams, would give added structure and strength. So while they might not wear the jumper as a group again, they would at least make it fully clothed to the pub later!
On topic - I am still plugging away at making unicorns (and reminding people that ask if they’re “donkeys,” which seems to be most of the blokes who spot me at work, that I have needles, so don’t cross me lol); the guy who owns the restaurant where I live wants to buy some for his grandchildren. I started another last night, using King Cole Glitz in Halloween (a really fun black and orange yarn with short repeats. I bought a couple of “mystery yarn” boxes from a LYS and found a sort of matching chunky tinsel yarn inside one - the orange is a little more on the yellow side, but it’s close enough to still look good as the mane/tail).
I’m considering making a pikachu version of my beckoning cat pattern as an Easter gift for someone else, too, with a Pokéball coloured kimono.
