Oh I seeee

So thats how you crochet! I can't believe that it has taken me this long to figure it out. My girlfriends and I had a little 'nut it out' session over Camillas infamous back loop slip stitch... phew! it only took us three hours.... now that I know, it seems so simple.. I am almost embarrassed. I have only managed to make a head though... lots of fabric/patterns/printing to work on.

I would like to formally retract a statement I made a few posts ago about how it only takes one night to make one of these critters HA! yeah right... if you are crocheting some unknown bulky stitch maybe... but if you are crocheting all backloopy like then it takes a couple of nights infront of the TV... SORRY to mislead or offend.

And while I am retracting statements ... I would like to appologies in advance for anyone who watches the local TV show Postcards (Chanel 9) ... I had no idea what was coming out of my mouth... a TV crew came to the shop today (all of the Queen Street shops actually), they filmed some children painting in my artroom & my toys ..very sweet... then they turned the camera on me and asked questions!!.... my mouth went dry, my brain went blank ..goodness knows what I said? I have been plagued all day with the kind of thoughts you have after an argument... "I should have said this", "oh if only I had said that"... We were all very nervous but I think all the girls did a great job... you see 95% of the shops are run by women (thats except you Dexter & Ben)... and I find this fact very interesting ... I tried to say something vaguely intelligent about it... but of course something quite the opposite came out my mouth... not to worry, maybe I could post my thoughts about that here some time.

Fabulous! I know how crazymaking that project can be...it was my first ever crochet project.

Word of advice..for some reason, the directions for the arms and legs make really long arms and legs...you might want to make them a bit shorter.

Congrats!

P.S. Love your color choices!

Jeez, that head is cute. And I have the same experience every time I have a CONVERSATION in real life, let alone one being filmed for TV. But I bet you did great.
