I’m a little tardy in getting things for a nursery. Or maybe not? It’s not like my baby is almost 8 months old. EIGHT MONTHS OLD! Wow time, slow down.
Anyway, I’m in the process of fixing up an old broken rocking chair, and I wanted something to rest my feet on that eventually the baby could play with, too.
After browsing around on Pinterest, I found this…(tutorial here)
Maybe I liked it because the dog reminded me of my parents dog, Bear. Maybe not. Anyway, it led me to this site which has a lot of cool free patterns. But, like all free stuff, it’s not really a complete pattern. My mother, the true knitter, helped me decipher the sometimes lacking instructions.
I decided I liked the stripes on this one…
And about a month later…(what? I have a kid…and two jobs!) I ended up with this…
I stuffed it with two old (I mean really old, they were around when I was about six!) twin comforters and an old pillow. It could probably hold more, too.
Right now the beagle likes it.
Spoiled dogs…
But I’m hoping once Henry gets a little older he enjoys it, too.
Do you have any DIY projects you’re working on right now?
