The body of my suki

The body of my suki is done. I like it but I don’t love it. The color repetition worked out WAY better on paper than in yarn, and I’m really hoping it looks better when it’s felted. I made the bottom bands narrower so it would form the bottom the way I wanted it. Here’s the body:

And here’s the bottom. I LOVE the bottom:

So basically I sacrificed the look of the body to have the bottom come out in lovely rings. A choice I might not make again. We’ll see how it felts up before I make my final decision.

Then again, maybe I won’t felt it at all. The boys of the house seem to really be enjoying Suki just the way she is. Here’s what the boyfriend immediately did with it:

And Diego thought it was great to snuggle with.
