Hi everyone, Thank you so much for your appreciation over the years. Just to let you know I have relaunched the Roman Sock Shop and you can now find it at romansock.com.
Pattern can now be found here
Sorry for not posting last week - I have had the flu, and have consequently been spending my time sniffing, blowing my nose excessively loudly, and taking copious quantities of vitamin C.
I have also moved house, and although many boxes are still unpacked, we are getting there, as my mother likes to say "slowly but surely I will bring order to this chaos". So it has been a bit busy.
I have though produced the second installment in the Halloween set, I plan to get more Halloweeny as the weeks go on, today a plague of toads...boooooooo
I thought they would make a fun thing to give out instead of treats?
They are very warty...
or a little more pleasant...
almost sweet?
It was also my very favorite little cousins birthday - she is 13 and got this little mouse...
The pattern for the toads will be up tomorrow - would anyone like a pattern for the mouse or is it too simple?
gosh o gosh o gosh! Free patterns, YEAH! I love your babies........they have SUCH expression! Yes, we must have the little mouse pattern too.....and the frogs....and anything else.....
:-)
okay....I am done gushing. Now I can say with sincerity that I hope you are feeling much better. Eat Chicken soup. :-)

you are handing the frogs out as treats?
Right, that's it. I'm going to dress up in a ridiculous outfit, pretend to be 5 years old and head in a northerly direction!

I'm a newbie, and even the simplest things require patterns for me! I love the toads! What kind of yarn did you use on the mouse to make him so fuzzy? Angora or something?

I think these are adorable! Thanks for being so generous with your patterns. Please do post one of the mouse, I'd love to try making him (or her?).

Ok, I try to post a comment in english (argh, I apologize for my approximate language): I read your posts regularly for now 8 months, and I have to say that your little crochet animals are the most beautiful, the lovelyest (?), the etc. (lack of vocabulary…). And thank you for the patterns (well, I've failed trying the little owl, but it's because I'm not gifted !).

Oh the froggies are so cute!
I have two little neighbour boys who don't like scary things so this would be so cute to make for them.
Thank you!
And your little mousie is sweet!

I was sorry to hear about your bout with the flu! Moving and packing s***, plain and simple. I wish I lived in your neighborhood so I could "Trick or Treat" you, but alas I do not live near you and the restraining order is still in place (last I heard anyways)joke. As always you come up with the cutest things that I simply must have!
