holiday SNOWMAN crochetalong!

[Mom w/a Motif]

Awww! He's so cute! You did a great job, Thel. Your Grandma will surely love him. I made my Grandma a snowman (the same pattern as the one I am doing now, as a matter of fact...) And she keeps him on the back of her couch. (She has a lot of stuffed animals there.)

 

Mine has one leg longer than the other (and one is stuffed more, too.)

 

I hope to get a picture today (if my camera is in the mood to cooperate, that is...)

I sat down a little while ago and made a new hat for Snowy!

 

 

Haven't written the pattern down, yet though. I will, maybe tonight or tomorrow.

 

I'm not trying to avoid packing or anything, nooooo, not me.

[QueenOfCrochet]

That's a cute hat AJ! I hate packing too so I don't blame ya, throw it all in garbage bags & be on your merry way. LOL! When all your dishes are shattered then you can make mosaic art with them.

[goofy]

cute snowman aj. I hate packing too but the unpacking is even worse! Trust me thats what I'm stalling on now.

[Mom w/a Motif]

I don't blame you for not wanting to pack; we have moved three times in the last year. (And one was 1300 miles...) So believe me, I know!!

 

That hat is so cute and furry. I love it!

 

Here is my snowman. I have a feeling the kids are all going to want one of their own. Technically there is another one of these around somewhere but it might still be in storage... Anyway here he is:

Tina, he's SO cute!! Absolutely adorable!

 

Where did you find the carrot? It's perfect!

 

and three times?

 

Good lord, you deserve a medal!

[Mom w/a Motif]

Three times since 2002! (Probably one a year, actually...) The carrot nose is actually fleece. The pattern was in the magazine. (Crafting Traditions, the Jan/Feb 2002 issue, out of print now...) You cut out the fleece then mark dots all over. Then when you sew it up, you pull the thread through the dots to make it look like a real carrot.

 

I want to try one of your little guys now. (I need to finish an afghan first though!)

 

Tina, he's SO cute!! Absolutely adorable!

Tina~Your snowman is too cute. You did a great job on him.

[Cocoa Cream]

Here's my snowy little doorman! I guess he's not very little, though, seeing as he is 21 inches tall! (Darski, you'll have to have a big container of coffee creamer if you use this pattern! ) I didn't have everything the pattern called for, so I used felt and dressed it up a bit with sequins and beads. He turned out great, if I do say so myself! I'm looking forward to giving him to my mom!

Enjoy...and happy snowman making to the rest of you! Now I'm off to finish decorating my tree and to work on my dad's lapghan!

[darski]

Boy is that cute or what! You have done the greatest job on his face. Lo-o-o-o-o-ve him!

 

This snowman CAL was a brilliant idea! Thanx all over the place.

[Mom w/a Motif]

Cocoa he is so cute!!!! He's great!!

 

Tina

Thanks for the feedback on my snowman~

 

Tina- I really love your snowman! Sooo cute and cuddly!

 

Cocoa- You did an excellent job on yours too! Too fun!

 

I agree that this CAL was a good idea!

[QueenOfCrochet]

Cocoa~You did a great job on the details, he is absolutely adorable. Beautifully done! Your Mom is going to love it.

[rosette]

Tina and Cocoa both of yours are just adorable!! Great job! your snowmen!!

 

I was at Wal-Mart tonite and almost bought the material for my snowman, but I could not remember how many yards I need of the white and black. I have to go back to Wal-Mart tomorrow so I will get it then.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Brandy~I can't wait to see what you come up with. I bet it'll be stunning. Nighty-Night M&M!

[crochetaj]

Cocoa your snowman is adorable!

Will i finish my snowman. Completly made of plastic even the stuffing.

Will i hope you all like it. It is different but i like it better then the yarn model i copied it from, it was a x-mas gift from a friends mother that can crochet anything she thinks of.

[darski]

Jennifer is that a melting snowman? The pic was hard to see in some places but it looks cute.

 

It could go outside well I would guess.

[unicorn37757]

That's a cute pattern, might try it myself:clap

If I can find the time and the scraps of yarn, I would love to join you in this CAL! My mom collects snowmen, and it's kind of a tradition to get her at least one every Christmas. This year I want to make her one...so I found a simple looking pattern that I think I can do. It's pretty big (19 inches tall), so I'm thinking of filling the bottom with a bag of rice/bean/sand to make it a doorstopper instead of just stuffing it with fiberfill. If anyone wants to see the pattern, I've linked to it below.

This will be my first CAL, so I'm looking forward to it!

Jennifer you did a cute job on that melting snowman!!

[thel]

Jennifer- What a clever idea to make an all plastic one! Nice work!

[Mom w/a Motif]

How come I can't see Jennifer's snowman? It says 'Error'

 

Tina

[QueenOfCrochet]

It says the same for me too.

[crochetaj]

Me too.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Isn't that a bummer. I wanna see, I wanna see. *stomps feet*
