So annoying! 🤬

You must be spitting feathers! Especially as it’s down to you, it’s exactly the sort of thing I would do.

Could he be an amputee Ferdinand?

Oh, what kind of yarn? You could always put out an SOS in future (I have rather a large stash but probably not what you need!).

I think he looks really cute like he is!

Pea Green, Hayfield Bonus IIRC.
Thanks so much but I’ve ordered another 2 balls - it’ll be enough for another frog at some point. I forgot to order more eyes though! Idiot.

It did occur to me! But the charity I make them for doesn’t want disabled animal worry eaters, only ditto monsters! I’ve made a disabled monster in the past - half a leg missing, poor old Hopalong.

That is so cute. Hope your wool arrives soon so it can be finished.

Oh Witzend you must be hopping mad!

My greens are Lime and Emerald, I think.
Plus some leftover bits of Deramores in various greens.

He's sitting there very patiently, waiting for his other leg 😁

Yarn arrived!
He is now just waiting for his matching hand puppet little friend to be finished, in order to be posted off to a new home.

Is it just me who knits faster when the wool is running out?

No! 😂

Definitely not!

Finally finished Ferdinand Frog and his little froglet friend. Will post them off tomorrow.
Sewing up Froglet and embroidering the features were a major fiddle - embroidery was never my strong point. Ferdinand was a doss by comparison!

Oh, he's lovely, especially with his additional leg.
And his friend 🙂

Done now, but could you have knitted him socks in another colour?

Those are his feet 😲

Have you ever seen a frog wearing socks, JackyB?
They'd get very soggy in the pond!

Could have, but he’ll have to be satisfied with just a soggy jumper now. 🐸🙂

Is he huge (in the first picture) - or is that a tiny chair?!
He’s great 👍

He’s huge! About 65 cm, top of head to toes. Big and fat and cuddly for the children he’s intended for.
