idle doodle
Today while I was deep in thought I doodled a little Jess Hutch-y undersea scene.
Turns out, knitting four 20-inch-long arms and legs for a Big Toy doesn't exactly make for gripping blog writing. I hope I have something fun and/or interesting to show later this week! In the meantime, idle doodles will have to do.
"Idle doodles will have to do" - someone needs to write a Gilbert & Sullivan-style tune with that lyric. Please.

Jess-
my boyfriend wants me to knit a vest for him--simple, and probably thin and tall, because he is both. do you have or know of any good patterns i should seek out?

I love your doodle... the sea life linework is brilliant! Such nice details! You're an inspiration.
those idle doodles are AWESOME. just awesome.
p.s. i'm a big fan of your work in general too, and glad you have a blog!!!
i wish i was a song smith... i'd write you that jingle in a second!
Sorry to hijack your comments Jess, but Emily doesn't need a pattern to knit a vest. Just find gauge on a yarn he likes, measure him and multiply stitches per inch by width around. Knit a tube with a little ribbing. Bind off an inch or two on each side at the appropriate height for armholes. Neckline's a litte more work, but not too hard. Then pick up around neckline and armholes and knit a little ribbing.
Love dropping in to see what is new...............thanks for sharing!
Doodle or no, I love the little details down on the ocean bed.
Hi Jess,
Just discovered your toys on knitty.com. Maybe others have asked but have you considered a formal book to publish your toy patterns? I ask because you are not planning on printing any more copies of your patterns.
Cheers,
Patricia
