A Job and a Weevil
I have had a very manic time of late, leaving a job, trying to move city and just get by! So I have been slightly AWOL from Roman Sock. But I am back and have a whole week and a half off!! Before I start my new job. Ahh, at last time to crochet.
I have done a little work on the site and you can now find me on Etsy!!! Yayyyyyyyyyy Little Diversions from Roman Sock.
Here is my new little creature:
(The Suncatcher eyes are extraordinary! I am so impressed with them!! and shall be ordering tonnes! Thank you Michelle!)
I once made a batch of muffins, a long time ago when I lived with my parents, which my dad really liked because they tasted so crunchy. Later on that day my mum found the entire baking cupboard was infested with Weevils. I never told my Dad.... Extra protein!!! Can that ever be really bad?
The Wise Weevil, sitting sage-like.
Scurrying
Contemplating the sky
Locked in an epic battle with Twinks.
This is the first of a series of rain forest creatures I would like to make from the book Rainforest.
hi,
great Idea.
I love your weevil.
I admire your work.
have a nice day.

Your weevil is SO cute (even though my motto is 'All bugs must die!'). He's not as gorgeous as the intrepid Twinks, however. What a striking "bandit" marking on his (?) adorable face. Thanks for the pix.

i will think of 'the weevil' everytime i bake. which is almost daily. i will have to try and make one for my cupbords. maybe he would keep away the real ones. enjoy your time off between jobs.

Brigitte, you're a genius. That 'beast' is so well-done!

Toooo funny!!! I was just thinking about weevils the other day~ me and a friend of mine used to work at a pizza place and we would joke about there being weevils in the pizza!!!!!! Love it!!!

I am liking the suncatcher eyes. I was thinking of purchasing some recently, and this may well swing it!

Ok...he is soooo darn adorable. He's more than just extra protein! You're creations are always a treat to see. Thanks!

The weevil is fantastic. I love your blog! Just did a little review on my own blog (the post is at http://quirkiest.blogspot.com/2008/02/amigurumi-at-roman-sock.html if you want to see it). I'll be checking back frequently. :)
