saturday i spent seven hours making two sock dogs. that's after i spent an hour googling for answers to "why doesn't my sewing machine love me?"
001: glomutt
doesn't he looked like the saddest dog ever? i totally fouled up his legs. he looks all stiff yet he can hardly stand. weep for me.
002: albinomutt
for the black dog, i just went by the sock book with some visual help from various websites. for the white dog, i made the neck a bit shorter. i attached the front legs a bit differently so it could stand effortlessly. i also gave it some paws so it would look less handicapped than the fist dog.
i think albinomutt looks better but there's something about glomutt that really pleases me. i think it was the process, how i had to conquer the sewing machine and my fear of hand stitching. also, as it has my first run, i thought for sure i'd fubar. the fact that it still resembles a dog is a triumph for me.
