Snake!
January 19th, 2010 by Jessica Posted in Crochet, crafty, family | 1 Comment »So for Christmas I crocheted the kids an Argyle Snake. I worked on this for months at craft night. It wouldn’t have taken me so long, except I only worked on it at craft night, so once/week at the most. Anyway, this was a fun project. It was also a bit of a stashbuster. I didn’t buy any new yarn to make him. That’s why he is blue and not green. The pattern came from the May/June 2009 issue of Crochet Today! magazine. For the eyes, I embroidered them rather than attaching safety eyes.
Here you can see the snake in the floor on Christmas morning:

Here are a few more photos, one with Molly to try to give a size reference:

I didn’t get a photo, but we compared him to Rick and he’s taller than Rick! So he’s a pretty big snake. He’s also been well received, as he now lives in Phoebe’s bed. Along with about 1000 other of her favorite toys and books. I’m amazed that there is any room in her bed at all for herself considering all of the stuff she drags into it every night. But anyway, loved making this project and Phoebe seems to love having it. So a crafty win!
