Cowbow completed - Happy dance!
Hooray - I complete the cowboy tonight! He is a knitted cowboy made from a pattern by Alan Dart (who's patterns I adore!) I'm soooooo pleased with him, although the hat could be better. The pattern tells me to coat the hat with hairspray, mould into shape then leave to dry, but as this toy is for a 3 year old (who I'm sure won't care what the hat looks like) I don't think covering it with hairspray is appropriate. I want to make another one of these already to keep! So one of my challenges for the week is complete! Yet again the easter chicks have escaped my clutches, the weeks not over but I'm desperate to get back to Chesterton now. The chicks will keep!

I think he's awesome, I love how realistic his neckerchief looked in real life. You may have to knit another one for your godson too :-)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to knit lots of him. Knitting is having a rest for a while now - I miss stitching! Although I need to work on the request for knitted fruit!
