The crafty bug has bit again! I have tried to read patterns before, not having much success. Ever since I've been learning to knit, I'm learning to read patterns. William got me this super cute book, full of these little crochet animals and on a whim last night, I decided to try to make one. I'm pleased to report I figured out the pattern, with only 2 calls to my mom! Thanks mom, you're the best!!
He's pretty little, standing about 6inches high. I think I'm going to make him a lot more friends in the days/weeks/months to come.
I'd love to find my little froggy a new home. If you think he'd be a good fit in your home, just leave me a comment and I'll find him a wonderful new family. I did not attach his ribbon, so with a quick ribbon change, "he" could easily become a "she." And...he's green not only in color, but also in the yarn chosen. It's Eco-friendly yarn by Caron. I'm doing my job to save our planet, he/he.
He is seriously the CUTEST frog I've ever seen!!

My son's vday cards this year were frogs in her honor! e is just about the CUTEST thing I've ever seen! BTW- I am waiting patiently(NOT) fr my package! LOL! I'm hoping today!

I could totally see myself doing an "elf" thing like this on a daily basis for my kids! Hide it and let them find it! Or taking him random places and photographing him...that would be fun! A frog-a-long!

TOO CUTE!!! My grandma used to collect frogs. This brings back memories... =) Of course we'd love him here and I'd love the pattern/tips even more!

He's adorable, you're so crafty! Someone will be fortunate to have him join the family. Although, if froggy joined our family, froggy would be a she! :)
Posted by: amy | March 02, 2009 at 07:57 PM
He's adorable; looks like you are off to a great start reading patterns. Yarn crafts can be so addicting; though not quite as bad as photography!
Posted by: Christy | March 02, 2009 at 08:54 PM
