or how about an eyepatch? All i'd have to do is remove the beetle part of the baby python afgan and bingo!

Looks better than your first project?????!!!! And you're still crocheting! Now THAT's encouraging. Thanks, Lady!

Good for you Jimbo :clap I think it's great that you even gave it a shot. Perservere though and I bet we'll see some wonderful stuff flying off your hook! :hook

So that's why I haven't got my hook yet!
But it is absolutely worth the wait...look at what you did! :clap

As for the crocheting...way to go, jimbo, well done.

Yeah. Sorry Pink... i like to take the hooks out for a test run before i consider them finished. Actually it was supposed to be a sweater. You think it might have something to do with tension? Really i am trying to learn a little bit. Looking at you guy's pictures in the "post a picture of your grip" thread has actually helped about as much as that foreign language book i got.

Well, you know when you got it...

I had it somewhere there in the middle there and then it went away.

Very avant-garde! You should sell it on ebay. I bet someone would buy it. There was a left over brussels sprout that sold for $3,440 so who knows what you could get for your creation. Maybe you could market it to the Kaballah people. Yours is a lot fancier than those red string bracelets they wear.

Piece of work eh? :P
Well, lets see, you could make pajamas for cockroaches. Or beak warmers for the birds. OR you could make bookmarkers... I'm just saying..

On another note I keep swearing to make a pair of pj's for the cat (Hambut the wonder cat), that way I can sit them up somewhere and when someone asked what that is I can say "It's the cat's pajamas (http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20010102) you've heard folks speak about"

Way to go JIMBO! I think it would make a great choker necklace. I can see us sitting by the crick crocheting while the others are working on the house on weekends.
