Stupid Sock Creatures!

Oooooohhhhh yes! Someone else is out there obsessively creating weird soft sculpture creatures! I borrowed this great book from the library that features socks as the medium. I scurried over to the dollar store and picked up a few fuzzy pairs of socks and a few boxes of various shaped buttons. I got back on the Knifty Knitter/Spool wagon and started making another puppet with some peach mohair. I have the arms, legs and partial body. Just got to keep on this momentum. Apparently there is a craftshow at the Drake/Gladstone at Christmas time that is all about weird creatures. If I keep motivated I will for sure feature them there!

Knoggin


Here's the logo for my knitting endeavours.
It took off last Christmas at Jools' Crafty Show.
We'll see how it does this year. Might have some
knitted creatures to add to the collection this time.

Monkey see, Monkey do!



Monkey See, monkey do! This lil monkey was knitted for my nephew. I've had some encouragement from a very kind, Jamie Anderson (of Nanalan fame) to continue forward with my fledgling puppet attempts. I currently have a partially formed green furry creature on my Knifty Knitter that is impatiently awaiting more yarn.
