Welcome to Wormington!

So I made the plunge and created my first toy ever. It's been a while since I've posted but I assure you it's been well worth the wait. Not that anyone reads this anyway. I used Kimberly Chapman's caterpillar pattern. She is another fellow Las Vegan and though she is in my Las Vegas SNB she goes to the meetings on the other side of town. Oh well. Perhaps one day I'll make it out there.
I was so hesitant to do this project because of the dpn's but since my leap with the socks and the size 7 needles wasn't too bad I figured how bad could the size 3 needles be? Well the only 3s I could find were metal and personally I hate metal and I tell you my fingertips and are pretty callused but this project kicked those calluses into high gear!
I used red heart super saver yarn in colors that matched the Baby Einstein caterpillar. This one is for my DH's cousin's new baby. I had so much fun making this one I have knit one about 4 times it size for the my big 3 year old monster and he stole it before it got any extremities and wont let me put a face on it so it's just a bunch of balls stuck together. Boys are so silly. :)
