I'm running two Knit A-Longs this year for the America's Knitting Ravelry group.
One is designer focused.- January is focused on patterns designed by Espace Tricot
The other is toy focused.
January's toy focus is Mochimochi Land Toys by Anna Hrachovec.
So Saturday I knit a bowling ball and pin, Koala, and a Dragon. (the purple one is new and has been adopted by a friend) The little Black Heart Dragon I made a month or so ago. He loves Box Cat.
Sunday morning I did A Cat in a Box
Followed by a football for D.
Then I knit a Squirrel.
The cutest little squirrl you'll ever see.
So tiny and sweet with a big squishy tail.
He loves our nut bowl. It feels like home.
Then he needed a friend for adventures so I knit a tiny dinosaur from her book Teeny Tiny MochiMochi.
This is where the adventure begins.
I should have never played with Theo with them.
It was just too damn cute to stop though.
Then it was time for bed.
Monday morning I woke up and I couldn't find them.
Worse I couldn't remember putting them somewhere safe for the night before we all laid down to go to sleep. I pulled out my nightstand drawers. emptied the knitting bag. pulled back the bedding as much as possible since D was still asleep.
Couldn't find them anywhere.
So I figured, crap, Theo ate them. Figured they were small enough that they would make their way thru their own Fantastic Voyage and come out the other end somewhat intact.
So I laughed about it all day. Worried a little but honestly after living with Mr. Brown and all the things he consumed I wasn't super worried about two little squishy knit toys gobbled up by Theo.
I arrived home.
I expected he either vomited them up in his crate (preferred method of retrieval) or I was going to make every one uncomfortable watching them take care of business.
As we walked down the back steps into the yard something bright and flashy caught my eye.
Could it be?
It was Dino!
It was Fred!
Theo had taken them outside the night before and tried to set them free.
The needed a good scubbing but they survived the ordeal splendidly.
I so glad it wasn't an internal tour of the workings of Theo.
So I popped them in a warm bubble bath to swim about, knock the dirt and chill off them they put them to bed on the fireplace mantel to dry.
Today they came to work with their friends.
Box Cat stayed home to nap guarded by Black Heart Dragon.
The End.
ps; I won't lie. If Fred and Dino had taken the Fantastic Voyage and re-emerged via Theo's exit. I was seriously debating if I would rescue them and clean them up or just throw them away.
Thank God we'll never know what I would have done!
