A whole lot of knitting going on

The alpaca made it through the wash and got stuffed and brushed an is looking extremely cute and fun to play with. I think it needs some eyes and a ribbon around it's neck and it will be complete.
It's a Turtle Police Department uniform and hat for Sheldon the amazing changing turtle.

His uniform comes complete with a belt and shield so he can protect the community in the pond.

I needle felted eyes onto the kuku doll and he looks a little bit better than with no face at all. I need to work on my needlefelting skills a bit though.

It's one sock down on the metallic 'bling' yarn. It came out very nice and isn't at all scratchy. The ribbing makes it form fitting. A short cuff but they can't all be knee-highs.
Mr. Foster is getting started with two arms and a toe. I'm knitting this on size 0 needles and it is coming out very even, smooth and even I would say beautiful. This knitpicks kit uses their 'stroll' yarn, a superwash merino and nylon blend. Lot's of knitting to do in this project. My son doesn't like 'sock monkeys' but agreed with me that this project would be challenging and give me a lot of knitting pleasure time.
