Look who I made!
Spherey from Fun and Unusual Toys to Knit out of Cashsoft. This was very quick and not nearly as irritating to knit as many toys. I did a few more increases since I used a smaller yarn to make the toy a bit bigger. While doing his face I learned that all needle crafts are not created equal. Embroidery is stupid and I hate it.

Why Wild Swan?
In The Wild Swans by HC Anderson, a girl must knit sweaters for her 12 brothers-turned-swans to make them human again, in the short time before she is to be burned as a witch, and she must do it with her bare hands using stinging nettles. In addition to being a very exciting example of knitting in fairy tales, it sums up the essence of knitting; though painfully frustrating at times, it is always worthwhile.
