I finally got the ears on. I have to say they turned out great! I knit a triangle with a flat side (called a right triangle by those with smarts.) Then I rolled each edge over tightly rolled foam and stitched them down. Added a bump in front of where the ear canal should be. 'Really' smart people call the bump the tragus. {I had to look it up. Me not that smart.} Cool name -- TRAGUS! | |
This is the long row of triangles that form the hair. I had to do a few trials to find a procedure that worked right. The final was: CO 10 ** Turn K10 Turn K10, CO 6 Turn K16 Turn K16, CO 3 Turn BO 3, K16 Turn K16 Turn BO6, K10 Turn K10 Turn BO 8, K2 Turn K2, CO 8 Repeat from ** Until nap-time... Make smaller ones on the end. Use your best judgment. I did... | |
I stitched on the hair and realized I'd seen this somewhere else. Not just the movies or the cartoon, but somewhere closer. | |
Yoda has my hair line. He's such a lucky guy!!!! I'm just glad I don't have ears like his. It'd be hard getting in the car... |
