Just a quick follow-up to show the final two crochet balls that stopped my bed from squeaking. Before, any movement caused noise. Now there’s nothing. Success! It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s definitely better than what it was. Luckily they really aren’t that noticeable in the bedroom. They just blend in now so I’m […]
So what do you do when your bed squeaks? And I’m not talking about an ordinary squeak. It’s a squeak so annoying, it drove some people insane (and by people, I mean me). This squeak started almost immediately upon installation of the aforementioned bed. It’s a pinewood sleigh bed and any movement caused it to […]
I’ll start with the happy part-a pic of the finished carrier. Now I can tell you all about the attempts at making what I thought was going to be a simple sling. I mean look at it, it looks simple to me.
So, I got bullied by my daughter’s dog while I was trying to type up this blog post. Okay, maybe bullied is too strong a word. I’ll say encouraged. She likes it when I come out with her, even though she can come outside any time she wants. I have to admit it’s much better […]
I finished his ears and couldn’t wait to share. I’ve been walking around the house holding him like a baby. It’s almost a shame I have to make him a little outfit. I kinda just want to make him a little diaper. His head wobbles a little because the head is heavier, but it’s perfect […]

It’s wonderful how in the beginning he looked like yarn—and seeing how he’s taking shape~~~and then the finished sassy, all attitude, ready to take on the world dude…is amazing!

They never look like much in the beginning, do they? I always have a little doubt that it won’t turn out how I see it shaping in my head. I’ve had some that don’t, but it feels great when they do. 🙂

Love this project. May I ask, how did you make his legs pose-able? Did you use a wire frame?

Thank you! Thanks for taking a look. No wire frame. I’m not very familiar with wire frames. I used Tunisian crochet which makes the cloth a little ticker. I stuffed the dolled with cloth (instead of poly fill), which also made the legs a little firmer but still flexible. I can move his arms and legs, but they aren’t pose-able in the sense you are asking.
