OK, I made another hooded towel for Griff this morning. This is entirely too much fun. I totally ad-hoc’ed this one, too, and I’m really really happy with how it turned out. For the cost of a $3 towel and a $1 washcloth (and a little thread and felt), I got to have a little creative “me” time, and make something useful for Griff, too.

The eyes were pure serendipity: I didn’t have a deep purple thread to use to zigzag the centers of the eyes, but the lighter purple gives the illusion of pale irises and darker pupils, which is so neat-looking. The horns and teeth are double layers of felt stitched together for sturdiness. I love felt! It’s my new favorite thing, especially the way it stands up to wear. The duckie towel I made on Thursday came through the wash with flying colors.

Some pics of Griff modeling his new towel:

I’m out of towels, but Jag has suggested an Owlbear as my next project, so I may be headed back to Roses next week. 🙂
