This quilt is for my dad. I hope to give it to him this weekend, but I need to log some hours ifthat is going to happen.
***I have been making more pigs.
I altered the pattern. The pattern calls for an unusually long neck. I don't like the head flopping about. This pig has about 1/5 the neck called for and I think it is about right. It took several pigs for me to get it right.
They kind of freak me out when they don't have their snouts or ears on. I have this fear they will look really wonky or even worse--scary! Probably looking in this bag would be scarier!
Oh, and look at the blanket. I will be 90 before that thing is done. GAH. I don't know why I chose to make such a large blanket. It will be a queen size throw...if it ever gets done. It will be warm...if it ever gets done.Have a good week!

You are insane to crochet something queen sized! My knit blanket is up to 48x49. What are the finished measurements of yours going to be?
I am not sure what the dimensions will be. That is how I roll. I wing it. I will get a width for you.....I am sure I will regret it.
Karen, I like your altered short-neck pig. I wonder if a crocheted hand puppet would be difficult.
KW,
The mouth might be hard. You might have to use plastic to help give it stability? I don't know. It would be easier to make one that did not have a mouth that opened or shut.
Maybe you could make a sock shape, and the end of it would be about 4 or 5 inches of red. Then you could turn that red part inside out to make a snake puppet.
Karen,
Just popping in! I love the quilt so much. It's beautiful.
