Norberta--1 Finished!! Behold Rinosaur!!!

Yes folks I have FINALLY finished Norberta. It isn't exactly like the image in the pattern and mine is a dinosaur. His name is "Rinosaur" because that's how Elliot says dinosaur and it's his you know.

I liked knitting this pattern. It helped me with my ssk, k2tog, kfb increase and pfb increase. I've not had a project require so many tricky stitches and I've learned some valuable lessons: 1. Stop knitting so tight damn it!! 2. Read the pattern notes that are at the beginning of the pattern before you go to the next section. 3. Always have internet access available if you are seaming. 4. Stop knitting so damn tight!!
I frogged Rinosaur in a few places and I didn't do the backwards loop cast on for the spikes(which caused me to have to fix them with a needle and yarn), seamed before attaching the arms and legs, and I screwed up the teeth. But I think it looks more like a dinosaur than Norberta does. So ... OH Well! Rinosaur is going to a 2 year old that's going to tear it up anyways. :-) I'm okay with that. That's why he's getting the first one I've knitted. he he he
Yay!!!! One Down! I'm tired Mumwah!
