notes
1. This time I actually remembered to make my turning chains! I still hate crochet, but this makes it somewhat more bearable.
2. On all of the pieces except the eyes I used the directions for making a small/invisible hole using a loop of yarn from Happy Hooker on pg. 52.
3. And here are my notes on body part placement:
… after I finished this little guy he was so freakin’ cute that I knew I had to send him to my friend Erica. He practically begged for it. He wanted me to spread the love. He’s the penguin of love.
Eric bought me a kit to make this little guy a couple of years ago…
January 16, 2021I whipped up this crochet banana slug for a coworker who loves to ask funny…
