Meet Ollie

Ollie is the second monster to invade my home and rid my stash of 2 1/2 skeins of yarn! The more creatures I make, the more yarn they gobble up. It's a win - win situation.

The pattern is from DangerCrafts on Etsy and I used Knit Picks Crayon doubled in Beach Glass, Light Blue & Kingfisher. The crayon makes a really soft & snuggly monster - despite those scary, jagged teeth!
(oh, and you may have noticed that Ollie is a boy monster, but I intend to knit up some girly versions like the pattern eventually too)

happy weekend!

Of course, it won't work for any non-feltable stash members, such as superwash or synthetic. It would make a major hole in mine, though! --P

I'm telling you, these cuddly monsters are excellent stash busters - the possibilities are endless!

Comment by Peggy Stuart on August 28, 2009 at 6:33am: I'll bet he would be cute felted! --P
