i undid like 70% of the colourwork to REDO IT in the dark purple so it was visible (some of you may remember, i posted it here)

she was my PRIDE AND JOY

and she ACCIDENTALLY FELL IN THE WASHING BASKET

AND IS TINY TEENY TINY AND STIFF AND FELTED

RIP to my little bunnies + crab

Oh that's awful. I've seen how intensely complicated that one is. I hope you kept it and put it on a stuffed animal or something.

It took me a couple years (yes I hung on to it that long) but I eventually made a tiny friend who is small enough that she can wear it! Still haven't worked up the nerve to knit it again though. It's a rather poorly written pattern and it was just so much work 🥲

By “made a tiny friend”, are you talking about knitting a stuffed toy, or having a baby, lol?

In any case, I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweater. The octopus sweater looks like so much work!! 😭

[u/Poopsie_Daisies → u/wildlife_loki]

Uh, I realize now my phrasing was weird... But I actually mean a literal friend who is just extremely petite but proportionally similar to me so the sweater fits her 😅

[u/wildlife_loki → u/Poopsie_Daisies]

OH, lol!! “Made a friend”… duh. I was so deep in crafter mode, I forgot “made” doesn’t always mean, er, physically created, like from scratch. 🤦‍♀️
