Lovey Alli

Just wanted to quickly show off this adorable Lovey Alli!  I created & knit this lovey in just a couple days - it was so simple!  Since I have more pictures than words, I'll jump right in and show it off:

So, I think the next question becomes - "is it a girl or a boy".  I love the name Alli because it flows well with Lovey and of course, my daughter's name is Alexa.  So I decided to make her a girl, however, this is what happened when I tried that:

Okay, so girl Alli doesn't go over well, but I still like the name and I'm stickin' with it!  My next ones will be Lovey Ollie (the pig) and Lovey Elli (the elephant). =)  I know, isn't that the cutest???  Watch for those in the near future.

So, here are a few other shots of my little Lovey Alli.  Laid out flat so you can see how it's shaped:

 

Not so flat, so you can see how your child will see it.  This was a serendipitous design "flaw".  The lovey doesn't lie flat because I have a garter stitch and a stockinette stitch together, but I love the way it lies, so I'm designing them all this way:

 

Here's one of the back of Lovey's head, so you can get a feel for the detail on the head.  All of them are designed with this kind of detail.  It's a fun knit and such a sense of accomplishment when you're done:

And, here's the best shot of all - my little girl LOVES her Lovey Alli. =)  Unfortunately, I got this shot on a morning she had just woken up and didn't still have her jammies on, but it was too great of a shot not to show it off.  Please forgive her lack of clothing!!!  This is Alexa with Alli:

If you'd like to purchase the kit to make one of these adorable Lovey's for your child or as a Christmas gift (hint...hint...), just look it up under kits in our online store!  Enjoy! =)
