I added short rows on the back of the head like a sock heel, and knitted the body as though it was just a tiny neck-down sweater. the legs are pretty much the Clanger pattern unaltered, but I don't recall how I did the feet, unfortunately.Chinkypinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255153160675604312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145970154571506820.post-18583464809139760522016-11-20T13:46:00.341-08:002016-11-20T13:46:00.341-08:00My goodness!I didn't realize that the little g...My goodness!I didn't realize that the little guy would generate such interest.People like him over at ravelry too, which probably says something about the overlapping interests of people who knit!<br /><br />Alas, there is no pattern for him as such. I modified the body pattern for the BBC's Clanger, and where his sweater is I just knitted his body like a tiny little neck-down raglan sweater. I have no idea how I did his feet, but they were a terrible nuisance.Chinkypinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255153160675604312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145970154571506820.post-3359774099134245992016-11-01T11:28:42.994-07:002016-11-01T11:28:42.994-07:00Hello,

The important thing is to fully customize the thing so it's shaped like you- I have one of those foamy ones that I used a hacksaw and some batting to shrink/pad the appropriate parts.Chinkypinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255153160675604312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145970154571506820.post-26027446187594260002013-08-07T12:39:25.827-07:002013-08-07T12:39:25.827-07:00I am glad you finally finished said blouse as it i...I am glad you finally finished said blouse as it is lovely.

If the dough, then the thing to do may be to cheat a bit and add a couple teaspoons of plain cornstarch, which will soak up water. If it was the peanut butter, I used a VERY thin schmear over the dough. Also, using the un-natural creamy kind may be easier, but it will taste different.Chinkypinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255153160675604312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145970154571506820.post-14322701670795149962012-12-10T19:14:52.270-08:002012-12-10T19:14:52.270-08:00Those are the most perfect pinwheels of potato can...Those are the most perfect pinwheels of potato candy I have ever seen! I tried to make this tonight and I ended up using about 2 1/2 boxes of sugar and it was hard to stir but still kind of wet. I rolled it out anyway. The top layer of parchment came off just fine after waiting a while. I spread the peanut butter over but when I tried to roll it it was just too wet and limp. I had to throw the whole thing away:( I made this years ago and had pretty good luck but this time it just bombed!<br /><br />JuneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145970154571506820.post-20819050925400541442012-11-11T14:02:55.002-08:002012-11-11T14:02:55.002-08:00Coolness!
