DIY Tuesday [Knitted Easter Eggs]

I've been having so much fun making these knitted Easter eggs I thought I'd share them with you. They are pretty easy and fast to make while you are sitting. I've found time during my Monday night girl get together, where we sit and chat for an hour or two. To my suprise I've also had time to knit these while watching the kids play, I thought for sure they'd be mad or play with the yarn but they don't care. I love when I can multitask!

Here's what you need and the pattern

Side Note: I'm a big fan of the "Sugar 'n Cream" yarn at Michaels, I just LOVE their color combos. I've done a few different eggs but for the most part I changed yarn colors as noted above.

When you are finished it will look like this [using the pink & multi]:
Inside of Egg

Outside of Egg

Using a yarn needle thread your ending tail back through the stitches.

Pull tightly.

Sew [inside out] Egg together.

Once you have sewn to the other end [the beginning] flip the egg right side out. Stuff. [I bought hooded towels at target for the kids and found this stuffing in the towels to make the package fluffier... I've kept it to fill my knitted goodies with! SCORE]

Finish by sewing up Egg.

Easter Eggs that don't go bad year after year! :)
