Whosit in the Making - Part 1B - Whoops!

Hm...experiment using stretchy sock yarn (superwash wool/nylon) with B hook for body... fail.   Stretches TOO much and very difficult to stuff evenly.  Also, stuffing firmly causes the polyfil to show through.  Either this type of yarn has too much give, or I need to use a smaller hook (now we're talking STEEL crochet hooks - the kind you use for doilies!), or maybe I was just having a loosey goosey crochet day. 

So let's try a different tack and use double yarn with that B hook.  Since brown is so predominant in the sock yarn, I'm going to try adding a very subtley variegated aqua/green fine weight wool I found on ebay.    Let's see how this works out!
