I’m convinced my sister can take a much, much better photo of this thing. Jojo wasn’t the best model for this.

“Don’t say that, you’ll hurt his feelings!” Karen said.
“It’s ok, he can’t read,” I replied.

It’s done, however! And it does happen to look like a pea pod. Whoa! This time, I took notes at least halfway through the project. Good thing it’s knit in the say way on both sides, yes?

I am contemplating adding a leaf and trying to insert a piece of chenille stem (fancy name for “pipe cleaner”) at each end so that I can curl the tips. I’m not sure about the chenille because of the wire—after all, this is for a baby—and they might be sharp. The only thing keeping me from making the leaf is lack of yarn! Out of what I had, I have only 2 1/2 feet left and it’s probably not enough.

    I would love to make one of the pea pods for my own photography business. What a lucky sister you have.

    Terri, I am planning on writing up a pattern and submitting it to Knitty.com. I hope they take it! In the mean time, Karen is going to take photos for me to use with my submission.
