Since it's so small I didn't put the plastic eyes in and instead I sewn them in. :)

Talk alien to me

I don't speak alien, so I can't even fake it if I tried. They are based on a free patterned at RoxyCraft.



They are super cute, I must say. Plus, I just love the yarn at Michaels. They are called Yarn Pals or something, part of their Loops & Threads brand. It's not quite like worsted weight yarn, not quick the acrylic feel, it's pretty close to the Berroco's Comfort DK, but smaller and thinner.


I guess Michael's were trying to test market them and the one close to me had them. They came in very small oz per skein, but were charging $1.79 and I guess there's no takers. I mean, c'mon, there are days where you can do $1 for Sugar n' Cream yarn, so why would you spend almost $2 for a smaller size yarn?

Well, they are now on 99cent spree, and I bought my share. So much so that the lady at the cash register was like: are you working on a project? I was just too embarrased to tell her that no, I'm just hoarding. Yikes!!! I do go back and see if there's anymore back there. There's still some, sorta secretly hoping they'll go to 50 cents, but I don't need more yarn... gotta stop packing them... geez.
