A Fan-Tastic New Special Order

When I first got this special order I had no idea how I was going to crochet a fan, but after creating the pattern I think I've found a cute spin on this beautiful accessory.

Above is the picture she asked me to make the crochet fan like.

I will post pictures soon!!!!

Meet Crochet Barrel

We met him first in Nightmare Before Christmas as one of the evil little henchmen of the Mr. Oggie Boogie man. See him now as you've never seen him before-crocheted!

When I got this order I knew that it was going to be a challenge. I looked at the picture included with the requested and knew I had to try it.
I created the pattern and worked for hours on his mask and hair. I even made him a lollipop. :)

He may very well be the only crochet Barrel out there. I did a google search and couldn't find anything like him. :) It's good to know I've made something truly unique.

I listened to "kidnap the sandy claus" for hours for inspiration.

One of my friends said it looked like "joker had a baby." To me that's a compliment. :D I didn't want him to look too cutsie.

I have another pattern style for him I want to try, but it will have to wait until after the holidays since I have so many orders. I really had fun creating his pattern though!

He just wants to hug you-don't you trust him? ;)

We spent so much time together-I can't believe he's off to his new home this weekend!

Group Photos!

I took a group photo before these guys were sent to their new homes. The large poison mushroom is still available for $20, but the rest are all shipped and gone.
