My friend J.Bone (this is his real name) is an illustrator who makes ridiculously cute little crochet characters. Usually without patterns. This is so the pasttime of a kid from the gifted class I can’t even handle it.
Actual sea monkeys are not even close to this cute. And they smell like fish and when you forget to feed them they die and you feel really awful. Advantage: j.bone monkey.
I can haz croshay uneebrow?
He has made many of these little balls of awesome- particularly worth checking out are his crocheted sock monkeys (the irony! they are not made of socks, but rather of crochet! and they are extra-cute!) and the lady-friend of the caveman above, who has very shapely legs and a Flintstone-esque hairdo. I also like his X-ray Barba Papa. These and more can be found on his cleverly-named craft blog, skein and bones- so named because he is a slender man with the surname Bone, and because a skein is a hank of yarn. It works on so many levels.
What else would be excellent made in crochet? Perhaps… um… a crochet Barack Obama? I’m just saying.
