Knitted Ducks

      

Lovely BM went on a stag do recently and the theme was 'country gent'. Now I love a bit of fancy dress as its a great excuse to make something. I knew immediately i wanted to make him a brace of pheasants (nothing says countryside more than a couple of dead game birds slung over your shoulder!) but couldnt find many pheasant patterns online (who'd have thought!) Then i found these duck dog toys on ravelry and figured theyd be an excellent substitute. So i make a pair, joined then with knitted bailer twine and lovely BM was ready to go! They even made it back home with him with was nothing short of amazing!

Knitted Lab Rat

This make definitely has the power to divide opinions! Mostly poeple think im nuts and its a bit gross but i think its actually pretty cute! Its a another combination of crafting and science - my two loves. Anyway I bought this pattern for a knitted lab rat by Crafty Hedgehog ages ago and i finally got round to making it


I think he's pretty cute but i understand that he's not to everyones tastes!

I framed him in a box frame and added his latin name to give it a taxidermy touch. He currently hangs in the hall, lovely BM is growing to love him (i hope!)
