Mila is ready for big adventures, despite her tiny size. To prepare for those adventures, she picked out her perfect companion outfit, playful glittery short-alls and a cozy hooded cardi.

He’s been kinda in this state for a while, I knit like 6-8 detached limbs ages ago and was trying to figure out how to wire them.

Pipe cleaners will work if you don’t go into the fingers and don’t want it to be freestanding, which, if you know my perfectionistic ass, isn’t good enough for me, so I’m gonna have to take it out of the leg.

I also could not successfully get wire into the digits if I had knit the limb beforehand. So basically all the limbs I had knit are useless and I had to knit the I-cords around the wire and pre-formed wire fingers (as pictured in the arm). Successful but exhausting so I’m still on a break after doing that trial and error and successfully doing one (1).

[id: a knitted frog on a desk, he is a dark orange frog with a light brown belly, with wide black eyes. He is posed to be laying on his belly, propped up by his forearms with his legs kicking behind him. End id]

His name is pumpkin and I love him so much!!!!!!! Made with 3.5 mm knitting needles 🥺
