making monsters
October 6, 2008 at 1:06 PM i've been making monsters all weekend. i think it's high time for a little one little monster contest. if you would like to win this little monster just leave a comment before thursday, october 9th, at midnight. you'll get an extra entry if you leave a good monster name for him, and you'll get a third entry if you link to my contest on your own blog. ;-D
i made these loosely following the instructions from this site. all they entail is making two crochet (or knit!) panels about the size of pot holders. use two contrasting colors of the fun fur, or eyelash, for fuzzy monsterness. i stiched black felt circles onto one panel and then glued on googly eyes. i hand stitched the panels together, although i think in the future i might get over my fear of sewing machines, and then stuffed them with batting pills. (there a ton more really cute halloween patterns here)
come now, they need a good home. happy haunting!
