See what I did there?You’ll Need a tapestry needle and toy stuffing.
Gauge is unimportant, as is yarn weight. I used 2 different shades of brown DK and 5mm/US 8 DPNs
Whatever type of yarn you use, use a needle size smaller for that yarn so the stuffing doesn’t show through.
Cast on 15 stitches, spread across 3 DPNs (5 per needle)
Join in the round, careful not to twist! (Always wanted to say that!)
Knit approx 5 rows, enough for some wiggle room and sew up the bottom hole using cast on tail.
Keep knitting, stuffing as you go, for as long as you want. My poo was 10 or so inches long before decreasing. I wouldn’t suggest any shorter than 10 inches though. The longer the knitting, the bigger the poo!
Decreases:
Row 1: *K2tog, k3* across all needles (12 stitches)
Row 2 and 3: Knit all stitchesRow 4: *K2tog, K2* across all needles (9 stitches)
Row 5 and 6: Knit all stitchesRow 7: *K2tog, K1* across all stitches (6 stitches)
Row 8 and 9: Knit all stitchesRow 10: *K2tog* across all stitches (3 stitches)
cut a long tail. Thread a tapestry needle and slip remaining 3 stitches. Pull stitches closed. tie a small knot then twist your poo into shape. Pull the tapestry needle through to bottom of poo. Make small stitches around to secure the poo and shape it.
Sew the cast on edge so the bottom lays flat.
You now have a decorative poo! You can decorate it with a fly, or a smiley face or even bits of corn if you really want to go there! I’m going to be knitting a fly for my poo!
Happy shitting!
I will be making one for my brother, my husband, my dad, my mom, my nephews… Do I have enough brown yarn?!?!?!?!
I found this pattern for a Spider-Man baby blanket on Ravelry a few weeks ago. If I weren’t so busy trying to get ready for the big move into a house and doing most of the temporary overtime they’re offering us at work, I’d probably be looking for yarn for this project. Admittedly, it doesn’t quit fit with the brown and blue I seem to be favoring for the nursery colors, but still! It’s awesome!
The designer, AnneM, looks like she has quite a few really nice non-geek designs under her belt, too.
I need this in my life.
Simple as.
I saw this and immediately thought of a certain boy who is turning four who loves spider-man. So this will be made for his birthday in February.
I love ripple afghans and they are almost always crochet, so I am just over the moon for this.
I love Morehouse Farms because they are extremely creative, very friendly, have great customer service, and their yarn is nummy (and their sales are fantastic).
Here is one more reason to love them. This guy is SO FRICKIN’ CUTE!

This is my next knitting project. I am so excited. I’ve wanted to do a cardigan for myself since I made one for my mom for Christmas last year.
This pattern calls for a yak-bamboo blend, which while I’m sure is beautiful, is crazy expensive for how much you need. I will be using OnLine Linie 5 Corafino in pearl, a kind of off white tan color.

Such a beautiful jumper and the matching gauntlets are so cute too
Oh!
I really like these, however, they will lead to questions (in my head at least) like: “How many skeins to cover your fat ass?” My head is a very dangerous place.

clockwork by stephen west
i made one of these for a friend recently and he loved it! sadly he refused to grow facial hair for the photo. silly boy.
I am seriously digging the Stephen West patterns. I’m fairly certain the husband unit wouldn’t wear them, but I would…
Somebody asked me to write a pattern for this and because I am an awful human being I have finally done so about 8 months later. If you are still around anon, here it is!
Also I don’t generally write patterns so feel free to tell me if I have stuffed up or if it’s confusing.
Ohhh. I know what I’m making my Husband for Christmas! Shh! Don’t tell him! XP
