Six small crochet chickens in the style of devils. They have red upper bodies, brown lower bodies, beady black eyes, black combs and goatees under their beaks. They have horns in white, black or red, and two have extra bat wings on their back. There are flames licking the bottom of the picture. A watermark is in the centre that says "Madeleine & Friends".

Bunny bonding is going absolutely hilariously.

She's less than half his weight. Neither of them have any dignity 🤣

I saw that. Such a lovely idea but I'd never be able to crochet enough. Last year we ran out of candy three times before the end of the night. I kept having to go to the shops for more. Eventually just turned off the pumpkin lamp and closed the curtains. 😅

Have you ever seen the posts by the person who offers candy or a potato? Most kids go mad for the potato.

I guess novelty is exciting 😆

Haven't done much crocheting as Madeleine got a new friend. Well, Mac got a new friend, technically, but he's still grumpy about a new bunny in his home.

This is Penny. She is TINY. And very confused by the chickens...

And yes, that is specifically Madeleine in the video.

This is one of my favourite things I have made for me. Chuuya Nakahara from #BungoStrayDogs

He hangs from a keychain on my bag. Maybe I should make a little Dazai to terrorise him 😆

One is a little rougher and in acrylic, while the other is in cotton and much neater.

I've been sidetracked from my robin by the urge to learn yarn under #crochet. It only took me a few short rounds to get into the swing of yu/yo. Now I'm going to compare two ghost #chicken #amigurumi. This one is yo/yo. Now to start the yu/yo one. 🧶

Now I've got a Halloween pattern sorted I was planning to start work on a Santa or Christmas Tree #crochet chicken. Completely forgot I had a robin prototype sitting around. They've been guarding our spare front door key for nearly a year. 🧶

Looking more and more like a fertility idol 😁

Wait... are we all being tricked into taking part in a fungus fertility ritual? Anyone keeping an eye on cordyceps populations??

After a week or so of time off crocheting (the day job has been BUSY), thought I'd buck a habit of a lifetime and get on a viral trend. It is a very cute trend.

What cap colour tho?

Currently looking a bit like a fertility idol... now there's a crochet idea 🤔😆

#MushroomGuy 🍄 #Crochet #Amigurumi 🧶
A loosely wound skein of cream coloured yarn, and an unfinished crochet doll. There's a slightly squashed ball for a head, and the body is just two dumpy legs and a wider waist.

Last plug for the day, I swear...

Finally got Ravelry & PayPal to talk to each other, so now my Low Sew Mini Demon Chicken Pattern is available to purchase there too; www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Same energy...
Three small crochet chickens in the style of devils. They are standing in a line, facing the bottom centre of the picture, as if looking down in judgement on the viewer. They have red upper bodies, brown lower bodies, white or red horns, black combs, goatees, and beady black eyes. The two on either end have an extra set of bat-like wings each on their backs. There is a watermark in the corner that says "Madeleine and Friends, with blue silhouettes under it of a line of chickens and rabbits wearing scifi or fantasy outfits such as jester hats, cloaks, or ray guns. Three brown hens peering through a catflap. It is a bright summer day behind them.

This old quick photo of some demon chicken prototypes makes me laugh every time I see it. They look like they're about cause chaos on my laptop 😄

See the final version in the second picture.

Pattern coming very soon!

2nd of February is Hedgehog Day. A day to celebrate hedgehogs and vow to do more to help them. I made these years ago.

Check out Hedgehog Street for ways to help hedgehogs thrive; www.hedgehogstreet.org

Oh look; more yarn I hate working with! I needed 1 ball & another 10m so I've had this basically a whole ball sitting around. I wanted to make a bunny, & bunnies are soft so I'm giving this horror a second chance.

Folks who only use chenille/blanket yarn; how?? 😭

At the top of the photo is a loose ball of soft, velvety white yarn. At the front of the photo is a small unfinished piece of crochet work. It has two small legs and a body, getting thinner at the top, ready for the head. There is also a crochet hook.
