Anyone Else Suffered a Crafting Crisis? (hilarious!)

I think it will be fine with a massive scarf and ears etc. If you look at the photo of the finished bear it does seem to be all neck!

But yes, it's a "freakishly long" neck!

It’s great and sorry for laughing.

It looks like a cosy for something I’d rather not admit to recognising 😳

Best not go there 🀣🀣🀣

It might prove a little itchy! smile
As a teenager I once crocheted an elderly aunt a hat she requested it was in a sort of gingery brown colour and all loopy. Next time in Chapel my cousin whispered I didn't know Aunty Belle had had her hair cut and coloured. I said it was the hat and we got a fit of giggles and nearly excommunicated.

It reminded me of some β€˜cookies’ my American niece recently made for a hen party - Dsis sent a pic. Needless to say they were not the sort of thing you would give your ancient maiden great-aunt with her tea!

Beauty is in the eye of the bone-holder......

My first thought was not a bear!

It could be Gerald Giraffe instead of Oliver Bear

I was so happy crocheting along that I didn't notice just how long it's neck was growing 🀣

Oh Fairycakes that's wonderful (!). Many of my crafting efforts have been terrible, but none so funny.

I’d rather not comment! 😳😳😳

Mind you I shouldn't laugh as I can't even crochet one stitch!

I thought I would crochet this cute bear stuffedheartscrochet.weebly.com/blog/oliver-the-bear-amigurumi-crochet-pattern
But this is how it has turned out 😳. The designer says not to worry if the neck looks freakishly long, but I think mine looks three times longer than it should πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. I'll have to take it out and start again. It looks nothing like the one in the picture. It looks like a sausage on legs 🀭.
