This post will out-cute Cute Overload

You have been warned. I finished my mooshy, cuddly cowl last night after a marathon knitting session, and its cuddliness (which you may see behind the cut) hath inspired me with the muse of cuddliness.

ANATOMY OF A CUDDLY




A. DELIGHTED SMILE OF GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT
B. Bright orange fleece for maximum cheerfulness
C. Hand gestures of "I have just illustrated my awesomeness"
D. Cuffs of bright orange fleece pulled down over wrists

THAT is how you make a cuddly.




Finn has his nasty, vaguely anthropomorphic toy in his mouth and he wants you to see it. And then he wants you to try to take it from him so he can run away from you, shaking his head and being fearsome and impressive. And then you will be jealous.



This is the first time I've tried (and finished) knitting something in the round, a cowl adapted from this pattern. IT IS SO WARM AND CUDDLY OH MY GOD. (I, however, am not a warm or cuddly thing.)


And now, a meme I stole from [livejournal.com profile] kashmir1!

N'awwww! It's wet and cold and foggy and I want a cuddly Rodney to warm me up! (I'll share with John)

That cowl looks really cuddly! What yarn did you use (sorry, it's a knitter thing)

Oh, Rodney, so cuddly! There should be enough of him to go around.

The yarn I used here is a bulky (US 11 needle) merino mix from hobbledehoy (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=23459). I buy her stuff when I am feeling indulgent and want to make something for myself :D
