I have been crocheting a snake for a Christmas present. Last year I was crocheting toys Christmas Eve, so I'm trying to finish a little earlier this year. The snake pattern is from Yarncat.com , I altered it slightly by using child safe eyes, (with washers on the backs, I picked out cat eyes and because the puplis were more snake-like), I also made a red felt forked tongue instead of a crocheted black one. I think he turned out very cute. OOOO I'm scary and ready to strike, I'm long enough to put around your neck at 46 inches. You can see my tongue here. Go visit Yarncat.com ! There are lots of free patterns. I like the baby snake pattern (even if you don't like snakes you will like these), Chenille bear pattern and fun things like this bug scrubber , road tested by truckers (and good for the environment) I think this would be a cute stocking stuffer. Right now I am in a sheep ornament obsession! I have plans to make, all colors of sheep and turn them into ornament...
I have yarn and a spinning wheel. Ready to handle anything as long as I have my fiber along for the ride. Contact me at: knittingdragonflies at gmail dot com A blog about knitting and spinning. I also have a link list to tutorials for knitting spinning and a free knitting patterns link list.
