Crochet a magnet......360 of them

What would you do with 360 magnets?

Well I have made a start making fridge magnets.

I was told they scratch the fridge so they all have to be covered to ensure they do not scratch. I have found that if I cover them too much they start to slip, even though they are a powerful little magent.

This is how I made an egg, I can't decide on a good desgin for the bacon as yet.

These are some patterns I aquired from the internet.

Except for the tea pot and tea cup, I made them up as I went along.

I'm not too happy with the cup as yet, but I suppose I have about 355 more shots at it.

These are a hoot of a magnet.

Crochet Monkey/Knitted Cow

This is how the story goes.

Deb and Don pictured below, bought a plush cow as a gift for a baby.

They put me to the test to see how good my crochet was and asked if I could copy it.

So I took a photo of the which is below.

OK, so this is the cow, it is a machine knit and oh so cute.

I knew it was a cow to begin with, but it reminded me of the pet monkey, Penny from lost in space had. Her monkey had those little horn things on it's head too.

OK, so by this time I'm thinking monkey (DERR).

Now this is the out come of the cow. Cow come monkey. I didn't allow for the shrinkage in the arms and legs once they were stuffed, so they are a little short.

Now to further my stupidity, I just did an image search for Penny's monkey and it didn't have horns, more like large pointed ears.

On Sunday night I was walking down the stairs reading a bit of paper

(not a good idea to read something whilst tackling stairs)

when I came to the very last step I missed most of it and slipped off, rolling my toes underneath my foot and I came crashing down in agony.

It was immediately obvious to me that something had broken.

After a 3 hour visit to the hospital, I arrived back at home with a pair of crutches to support my fractured foot.

Now I have lots of spare time to crochet.

Nursing my Foot.

I made a cover to keep the bandage cleaner.

I have a follow up visit with my Doctor this Thursday.

He has been my family Doctor for over 20 years and he has seen me and my family through some very rough times.

You see drawings of appreciation from children in the Doctors rooms, I can't draw for nuts, but I sure can crochet.

I have been wanting to give a token of appreciation to my doctor for a while.

So I chose to make the Doctor Who Doll.

But I left out the Who part and gave him a stethoscope to make him look more like a regular Doctor. He has the stethoscope in his ears and the white button thingy in the picture is the end of the stethoscope.Thin black plastic tubing makes up the rest of it.

It's a little hard to make out as it is black on black.

The link to the free pattern is here.

Thanks to Tracy from snuffykins journal.

Just an update here... I gave the Doctor Doll to my Doctor, he thanked me graciously and stated that he was not going to leave it in his Doctors Office where it may come to harm. I was a little nervous giving it to him, but his reaction put me at ease.
