With the completion of this little guy, I can now take a picture that has been years in the making.
This is every model in 'Creepy Cute Crochet'. I bought the book when it was first published (back in 2008). My brother suggested that I make '300 Spartans' (The Spartan is second from the right, top row). I declined. My son flipped through the pages, picking out the one he wanted me to make. I jokingly told him we could make all of them, and arrange them on the piano, just like in the book.
The little guy took me seriously. So every few months since then, he's asked me for another model. Now, 4 years later, he has his full set. He even setup up the photo shoot for me.
Oh, these are SO tempting me away from my tatting. One of the few other crafts that appeals to me. What a LOT of work.
ReplyDeleteSomehow it feels wrong to tempt Jane away from her tatting :)
DeleteSee you could do it, well done on your achievement

The full set, well done!
ReplyDeleteThey're wonderful especially the little spartan in his helmet!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I like the Spartan too, although not enough to make 300. The helmet has a clever construction too.
