The Hermit

Meet Toadyenka -

He's a little wonky, but that seems appropriate. Badly stitched, eyes too big, comically long finger on each hand....etc.

Pattern: Frog & Toad by Dot Pebbles - if you've ever thought of trying but being scared, don't be. It's so well written and any issues were of my own design. Stitching up the belly was the hardest part because I haven't learnt to mattress stitch on anything flat, let alone shaped. I winged it.

Jacket was freestyled. But iirc, the back panel was 20 stitches with a colour change in the middle. Front panels and sleeves were 8 across. It's a double mosstitch to get a padded effect. I did them all the same height but would shorten the sleeves next time, these had to be folded back.

Yarn: I will have to find.... but i also don't recommend it as its cotton so was murder of my fingers....

Love that he sees Tess and bricks it, then tries playing dead.

I have since punched a scholar in the back of the head but the guard was called and he sent Theresa to her dad to be grounded for three days :(

Little bastard won't stay dead and found a portal in the bushes. What sort of demon is he?

So, after beating the shit out of Kunesh (with help from Tinker), Tess entered some archery contests and earnt a bit of cash before engaging in some poaching, which she was terrible at (and that had nothing to do with me, of course) but managed to bag a deer and earn even more money. She bought a nice dress and, not wanting to muddy it, changed in the middle of town. And lucky she did because Kunesh hadn't had enough.

I dreamt of a maxed out Tess.

And then I decided to try punching Kunesh.

After that I had a lovely time robbing him, selling his clothes, gambling, hanging out with friends.

If I did it again.... I'd do it on smaller needles, i think. And add some length. The needles I used were between the 5mm (suggested) and a 5.5. It fits, but I find it a little baggy at the back. I also never check my gauge.....
