Fox Stole Progress

Here is a quick image to show where I am going with the fox stole.

The slant is formed by
decreasing on the right every rs row
and increasing on the left every ws row

I've done and redone this much over and over, but reassuringly it gets better each time.  I am pretty happy with the top portion now, but a proper fox tail should be fat, fluffy and fabulous.  I'm not seeing that yet.  So I had to take a break from it this past weekend. I now prepare to start all over again, looking forward to the results...

Oh, the life of a struggling artist.

It is always a good feeling when you receive a request from someone who wants to commission a project!  Recently Like a month ago, a girl from Tucson messaged me on Etsy about trying to recreate this chunky knit fox stole.

Eugenia Kim for Anthropologie:
nearly 300 big ones!

One thing I've had on the back burner of my to-do list is learning amigurumi (the art of crocheted or knitted dolls).  Most use crochet over knitting, as it makes a sturdier fabric.  However, I will always prefer the look of knitting over crochet.  The fox stole has given me just the push I needed to perfect this new skill!
