see what i made!

It's a prototype I faked up due to not having the pattern to the one our friend at Triangle makes, plus the kit from hers only comes with red handles and has a lighter grey than I'd choose (and no striking band).  In future I think I'd make the handle out of sturdier i-cord, among other things (I have no idea if this would fit an actual baby's head, for example).

But lookit!

That is soooo cute! I'm sure you already know the trick of running the long, left over end of yarn through the eye cord several times to sturdy it up more.

I had to run the end down through the cord in order to get it to bend down and stay that way; I meant a heavier one, is what I'll need in future. This is three stitches, and I think I should have stayed with six, because it's too skinny.
