I need a Mascot (Fantastic Finds)

I know you must be thinking: "You don't need a mascot! You have one- Ringo is totally your mascot!"

Well... I don't think Mr. Starkey is all that interested.

Yeah, nope.

Ringo seems more interested in being mascot of the backyard. I occasionally carry my crochet out to the picnic table, and am met with Ringo, face to face. I think he disapproves of my less than adventurous spirit.

So since Ringo is the wrong animal for the job, I've taken to pondering Amigurumi sheep. Every now and then I go searching for the perfect pattern. Usually I find cuteness abounding. But I want something more than cuteness in my mascot. I want personality.

And so I discovered Bob and Daisy.

Are they not the most perfecterestest Amigurumi sheep you've ever seen? I'm completely smitten by their charming little selves.

I'm buying the pattern as soon as I click the orange "Publish" button on this post. Maybe in my reckless excitement I'll forego proof reading. 

Oops, I kinda just bought it without even finishing this post.

=D

Have a Lovely Day!

I Love Ewe! (Fantastic Finds)

The other day in the craft store by my house, I came across a tiny ceramic sheep.

It was painfully adorable! I may have squealed but no one would have minded, I had my 18 month old son with me.

"I'm getting this!" my inner monologue triumphed. "It can be my little mascot." I snatched it from the shelf and placed it in my basket.

But not even a step was taken before I considered...

If I want a mascot for my crocheting... shouldn't it be something, oh I don't know, made from yarn? Specifically: crocheted?

The answer is, of course, yes. So I put adorable-ewe back and decided to see what the talented peeps at Etsy have come up with. The above pictures are either patterns or finished items of adorable potential mascots for me (or you!). Follow the link to view the listing (and more adorable pictures!).

Have a lovely day!!
