Here we have the egg and bacon for the Fry Up Knitalong, done in Tahki Cotton Classic and Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. The pattern can be found here. Because I don't like to sew seams if I can avoid it, I've knit the egg in the round. It needed blocking before it looked quite right. It seems to be a common problem, Ann described it well. I'm glad cotton steams into shape so nicely.
My youngest is quite pleased with these, he thinks I've knitted them solely for his amusement. I must admit, they do make for some nice toddler toys. I think that will be their ultimate fate. I just don't see myself wearing a beret topped with breakfast food more than once or twice. It's good to think they will have a practical purpose after all the fun is over.
I am still undecided about the plate color. I'm thinking of using a solid colored yarn for the center and a variegated yarn for the rim. I will make some swatches and see what I like best.
