@Linda Simard Thank you! This is a great guideline.

@Kim Thompson-Pinder Exciting time!! Lots of love to him and mommy and daddy and manna. Busy days ahead. He’s a little fella. Lots of growing to do.

@Tina Bryner That’s a brilliant idea!

One thing I discovered is that scissors with titanium coating cannot be sharpened. Just use folded aluminum foil to clean the blades. The sharpening action would remove the titanium coating and make them useless.

@Linda Simard Enjoy! Please let us know how it handles different yarn weights. I have been considering getting one to be able to use more variety of yarn weights.

@Linda Simard Thank you! I have found that the darker colors act differently on the Addi even when they are the same weight and brand and same name.

Maybe in grams or something like that?

@Amanda Berridge I was thinking of trying that approach. It seems like a good place to start, As an experiment. I weighed the knitting after the 100 rows and handwork before stuffing. It weighed 60grams. Then I filled it with bits of fiber fil til it seemed close to right. It ended up being about 40 grams. I’ll see how it is once it’s finished. I might want a bit more in the head next time. It is not as filled out as I’d like, but it’s close. The nose gave me lots of trouble. I couldn’t get first one to be round—it looked more like malshaped flower. I tried a second one with looser tension and an extra row. It looked too big, but it was round at least. But the black wedge turned out too big, so I ripped it out and tried a completely different approach. I made the nose completely including the black wedge before attaching it to the face. Looks much better. It’s a combination of a crocheted magic circle, with a line of Tunisian crochet at the top to help delineate and smooth the black embroidery that makes up the wedge. Unfortunately, it’s a bit too high. So I’ll be ripping it off and moving it down a couple of rows . But I’m getting there. Thank you for all your help!!
