- Free crochet patterns Frankenstein’s Monster! Rawr! This pattern produces an adorably frightening little Frankenstein monster that you can make with medium or bulky yarn. The monster has lots of customizable features, from his too-short sleeves to the scars on his face. This is an intermediate pattern, requiring approximately 2 dozen color changes in the head – but don’t let that scare you! According to my tester, it was “totally worth it!” You can download the PDF right here: Frankenstein Pattern from wonderstrange Eye Heart Potholders This pattern uses t-shirt yarn, tutorial right here if you need it! You could also use worsted-weight yarn and make ornaments or thread/floss to make earrings should you so desire! This pattern assumes you know how to work in joined rounds and how to do color changes! Click here to download the PDF: Eye Heart Potholders

Okay so my quest to do two per week is failing, much like my quest for the Holy Grail. Or the world’s perfect taco. SO. Two per week starting NEXT week. This I so swear! Or something. I’m going to go have a taco.

This week the challenge is to do black and white. It was our group challenge this week on Artistcellar, so I figured.. two birds.. one nuclear bomb… you know. You can ROCK IT.

Here have a couple of close ups:

And a picture in its natural habitat, i.e., on the shelf above my couch, hanging out with a Minecraft witch and Princess Bubblegum:

Here’s this week’s video. Short and sweet.

My list of challenges is dwindling, so, if you’ve got a challenge for me, I’d love to hear it!

Sarah wants to know how everything works. She also has a short attention span and is addicted to coffee. Those two things are probably not mutually exclusive.

Sarah or Ann or both of you… how about some stone monsters used in different ways? paperclay or polymer "river stones" and a whole beach of monsters or ANY large collection of garden pebble monsters… 😀

TOTALLY fab! Totally love the black & white, the stripes! The little frame! And what a cute little fellow in there. He's got a story, I'd wager. Is he famous? Famous in his own mind? Talk of the town? Perhaps legendary, in certain circles. Someone knows. 😀

Totally adorable creeper! He has such a sweet face, but it seems there's a bit of mischievousness to him….like stealing the rest of a grilled cheese sandwich.

I have my idea, but the little one hasn't allowed me time yet to do it…. :-/

Some suggestions I have are:
*Signage
*Alternate family portrait (like skelletons, a bowel of different fruit, or something else that represents family…no actual representations)
*Finish/revamp am already started project
*Create a monster
*Illustrate a scene from a dream
* Create something for someone else in mind

….at least there are a few. 🙂
