Clean Up Crew

they'll be there for you

Itty Bitty Vultures will be in the shop later today. Probably.

I did so want to have a finished prototype to show you this week! But I’m not quite there yet.

But I can tell you that Susanna is our lollipop recipient!

And I can tell you that the Middle Eastern Cast on wins the Crazy Easy toe-up cast on award (thanks for the tip, Beth).

I can also tell you that while I have decided to recommend a toe-up cast on in the pattern, I am going to write the directions for the regular way with a seam. It isn’t critical to the pattern so I don’t want anyone to read the directions, panic, and then not try the toy. My Favorite Trick remains awesome, but not worth the explanation if a seam will do.

In other words: I wussed out.

All that wasn’t for nothing, the M.E.C.O. is going to be invaluable for a future pattern – and I’m not even going to tell people that’s what they are doing until it’s all over. I’m so tricky.

I have SO MANY IDEAS. And not enough time for them.

    I second your last statement there. I don’t even have time for knitting these days, let alone design anything. But that hasn’t stopped me from buying yarn for a new idea.

    OMG… those vultures ‘take the biscuit’ (as they say in England). I can almost hear them singin’ they are so awesome. giggles !

    They are really cute carrion toys. But I was wondering if you wanted to really stick with the “Itty Bitty” part of their name, given it’s already established as a line of knitting patterns (Susan B Anderson’s hats, toys, nursery books)?

    Squee! More from your Itty Bitty range! And since no-one else has done it yet, I’m going to get in first with the Jungle Book quote:

    Vulture 1: So, what we gonna do?
    Vulture 2: What d’ya wanna do?
    Vulture 1: Uh, I dunno, what d’ya wanna do?
    Repeat ad nausem!

    Or see here if you’re not familiar!
