HTG's Crafty Critters

A is for Alligator!

I've been staying busy with many many projects, here's on of my favorites.
I knit an alligator (actually 2 of them), only my looms. It's about 4 feet long (not quite) and 6 inches wide. I wrote the pattern as I went along, used decreases and increases which I had just recently learned and the basic loom knit stitches. I made him in sections and pieced those together. I double stitched the seams around the joints, so they should be nice and durable. The tail, has a seam along the top, which I sewed together in such a way as to create a ridge and give the tail a bit of curl.

Here is the second gator... the first has already gone to my nephew, this one will go to Karen's niece. I'm offering another one for sale in my shop, as a made to order item. I'm going tomake some more critters later :)

Here's a bonus picture of my nephew recieving his alligator.

Still working on the website

I'm still slaving away at the website for my critters, I'm not the greatest at web design, so I know it won't be totally awesome or anything like that, but I don't want it to totally suck either.

I also had another couple ideas for crafts... loom knit bird toys and plastic canvas fish buildings.

I need to get back to crafting and away from web design soon.

My Zoo is getting their own website

Right now, I'm hard at work at my website for my zooful of critters. Soon you'll be able to see all my critters online!

I'm also crafting a hamster farm (kind of like an ant farm) and reusable cards.
