My first snuggle is completed, however, I think its too late for this one. Tribble has claimed it for his own. I'd really rather it go to a dog in need (that's why I made it!), but Tribble must need one too. He is a rescue, so I don't think he had many "things" of his own. So here it will stay. You can see him cuddling up with it in his bed in the pictures.
So, I started another one. In my laziness, I wanted to make it in the round, cause it goes so much quicker. I saw this techinque in Knitters Magazine using cotton & thought "why not?" So, this one is about 18x18, I made it in plain stockinette stitch, with seed stitch borders & twisted stitch at either side. I left 4 plain stitches in between the side borders.
After binding off, I *gasp* cut between the 4 stitches! I unraveled them, so they make a fringe & believe it or not, it won't unravel! The twist stitch helps keep it together. I may comb out the ends so it will be a fluffy fringe & it will be more cozy. Crazy, ain't it?!
