This morning I kicked the knitting into high gear to get it ready for tonight when the tooth fairy would come.
Here's her little tooth-shaped pillow.
I used this pattern. I just figured out that I didn't read carefully, I actually made two sides to the tooth when really I should have just knit one and seamed it together. I ended up knitting the pattern twice. Guess that's what you get when you don't read the pattern carefully. Oh well, I think I like how mine turned out even better.
I used Sirdar's Snuggly DK yarn in white and a bit of pink for the tooth pocket. I should have sewn the pocket on after stuffing it but my thinking was that it would be easier to sew on before seaming up the sides. I didn't think about a puckery pocket. Oh well, it'll be easier for the tooth fairy to get to the tooth tonight.
Charlotte and I are meeting Nana at the movies tomorrow to see "The Tooth Fairy" with Dwayne Johnson and Julie Andrews. Charlotte is going to spend her tooth fairy money on a box of candy for the movie. Pretty great timing for that movie to come out at the same time that Charlotte lost her first tooth. I love when things work out.
