I named him Smaug, because I am reading The Hobbit right now...

Here's my finished knitted Monster stuffy! (Named Smaug a/p post title). He took me exactly a whole day....only minor knitting pauses involved...I was following a pattern I purchased but made a few personal adjustments as 1) I didn't have enough wool to make him completely striped and 2) making things two colors takes so much longer (it was my first time and I am not happy that some parts were not perfectly aligned...!!!) I wish his head would of turned out a little less square and a little more round as in the pattern I was following...but I still adore him. Once something already has a mouth and eyes ...its too late it already has a personality and I gotta' love him just the way he is! For now, I leave him on my desk at work, where he guards my pens and other such weapons/work tools for me.
