Mini Knitting Group...
Cupid is finally finished....
Pattern is from Simply Knitting Magazine, a lovely mag.
from Britain, February 2008 issue.
Designed by Alan Dart
I did have a rather funky time getting the face right, his
cupid is almost babyish age, very angelic, and mine, well
I guess he is an older, more mature cupid.
On a side note, the hair is rather strange also. this yarn was the closest I could find to the discontinued yarn called for in the pattern...plus the name of the colourway was "HEAVEN"....how could I go wrong with that.
well it was cartainly NOT heavenly to knit with...but it's done now.
In the future when knitting doll's hair,
I think I will use the same hair as I did
on the Harry Potter puppet, an experiment,
but came out even better than I had hoped.
