We preempt tonight’s post…

… for Castle and crochet. Back later.

Armadillo armadillo.

Named for the biggest fan I know of all things Texan. And the pattern’s on Etsy.

Fred the horned toad: now for sale on Etsy!

First pattern ever, written, edited and edited and edited… and now up for sale on Etsy, my favorite venue for handmade things, supplies and patterns.

Amigurumi: “little knitted toys”

Or crocheted, or a combination. Quick and small and fun to make. Many are very small indeed; mine tend to get detailed.

Lizard lizard.

Texas horned lizard, Phrynosoma cornuta.

He may look a bit grouchy, but in reality he’s just keeping a sharp eye out for fireants wandering within tongue range.

And a little attitude:

More pictures later, and his pointy bits need blocking, and the pattern needs finishing…

Barfyarn II: The Reckoning

The yarn did not look like this on the website. At all.

The skeins looked iffy… and then it just got worse and worse as it came off the crochet hook. Linty cat barf. No wonder it was on sale.

Leah, don’t worry – this is no longer going to be the major component of your Christmas present.
