"Beckaaaaa, where's my bone?"

Months ago, at the LA Times Festival of Books, Jessie "won" a squeezable dog bone (yeah, I don't get it either, but that's where she acquired it).  Now, I really don't know what makes a kid get attached to one thing over another, but she instantly fell in love with it.  She kept asking Rebecca to hide it for her, and she'd go looking for it.  Bone Hide and Seek, I guess.  So, inevitably, the game was played once too often, and Rebecca forgot where she hid it.  We looked everywhere.  Tears ensued, emotions were high, and then the next day I came across Fetch! by KrisKnits.  Talk about fortuitous!

These are worked up with size 6 needles and Lily Sugar 'n Cream 100% cotton yarn, in Rose Pink, Hot Green, Cornflower Blue and Yellow.  Less than an evening to finish one of these, and very fun to do with different colors, striping.  Totally excellent to practice mattress stitch and seaming, too.

It was uncanny how the sizing worked out!  And, yeah, we found the original squeeze bone a few days later.  But these are much more fun, and every few days Jessie thinks of a new color combination she needs to have.  I think two is plenty, but she's pretty darn stubborn persistent...

I know! It's so weird, the things they get attached too!

Cool bones!
