Here is Asgar's blue fight tunic. The fabric is twilled linen, washed three times in hot hot water, and my fingers *still* became blue when hemming the neck and sleeves. The dog represents Asgar and the rabbit represents me.


A close up of the dog. The hind leg was not completed when the photo was taken, but has since been finished. The animals are cut from white wool, thicker than most wool I see, perhaps even blanket weight (I do not even pretend to know how to determine weights of wool).
I used a single strand of black paternaya wool thread to stitch the animal on. Both stem stitch and back stitch were used for the outline within (ie the eye, mouth, etc).

My son thinks the bunny kind of looks anime (Japanese cartoon). This was a farily quick project, with each part quite different than the next. Very low on the boredom factor! :)
