'Nother funny-cute toy pattern: Bob.

At first I thought it was supposed to be an echidna, but the pattern-writer says it's inspired by that thing in the toilet tank. (I guess that's where "Bob" comes from?)

The original is knit out of "Oh My!" - a yarn I tried once (for Percy) but not sure I'd care to use again (especially for a toy) as it's kind of shreddy and fragile. (I wound up one morning with my head on Percy as I was sleeping, and the pressure of my head popped a few of the stitches, requiring a repair).

I think I'm going to make a "Bob" using felting wool, assemble and stuff him, and then run him through the hot/cold cycle and the dryer to see what results.

Bob also might be a useful destination for some of that novelty yarn that many of us (well, me at least) bought on a whim and then realized we'd never even wear an accessory made out of it.
