For some perverse unreason, I am perfectly content to invest the time it takes to knit and stitch together an octopus, or a knitted creature – yet when it comes to photographing these things and posting them to sell on Etsy, it can take me months. Maybe it’s an artist’s reluctance to part with her creation:
This prissy little thing has been sitting on top of our television since last fall, or – gulp – maybe even last summer.
Or maybe it’s just that I have needed to go to the hardware store and get a proper bulb for the lightbox that my boyfriend made for octopus photography purposes, in a rare fit of craftiness one day. Or even just plunk these puppies outside in natural, non-yellowy lighting. Apparently that is more difficult for me than making an octopus or a puff kitty. Ah well, we all have talents and traits, and timeliness is not one of mine.
A blobby thing that could be a bunny or a dog, depending upon which way you want to position the ears. I have deemed it a bunny for taxonomy purposes.
The possibility of another continental jaunt coming up soon has finally moved me to post these critters. And since they have been sitting in inventory for awhile (through no fault of their own, of course), I am selling these for a low low price of $6.50! All are 100% hand made and stitched by yours truly, out of yarn, felt, thread and polyfill. Discriminating buyers will note the lack of “lead” or “salmonella” on that ingredients list. If you need a baby shower gift, a birthday present for a wee tot, a cat toy, a dashboard decoration for a car, something to dangle from the handlebars of your bicycle – etc. – check out these creatures and more at bad metaphor knits!
