there ARE Dragons....

My third effort of test knitting has produced not one, but two Dragons. Knitted toys have never done it for me, until now. I saw this little creature and knew I had to stick my hand up as quickly as possible to test knit him/her.




The red one was my first effort. I learned a lot about shaping and the important of needle size. General rule: if you think you should go down yet another needle size, do it. I dropped 2 needle sizes on the red one and three on the green one (based on the yarn's recommended needle size). The designer went beyond the call of duty to provide both finished product and step by step construction photos.

The designer is currently designing wings. I have also put my hand up to test these once they are available. The 4yo and the 2yo LOVE their Dragons.

The pattern is available on Ravelry - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dragon-toy
