The Saved Snake

Remember this long winded post where I talked about how I was crocheting a snake? How he was turning into a long colorful tube that I had no idea what I was going to do with, and how because he was so stiff I had to hold my arms in the air in order to work on him causing me great pain as I crocheted? Remember how I was going to abandon him, rip him apart and use the yarn to make a blanket. Yes, remember my huge ramble about all of that?

Well things changed. At the insistence of my children - the fact that they cried when I unraveled just a few stitches, and their emotional begging and pleading that the snake not be abandoned - I have finished him.

It was not too bad. I just added his tail, made eyes and a tongue, stuffed him up, and he was done.

I do think he looks a little odd: his head seems awfully large for such a short body, but oh well.

One completed snake, two happy children.

P.S. I still do not know what to do with him - the girls played with him for a bit, but the novelty quickly wore off. And since I still have tons of this colorful cotton yarn, making a blanket is still on my 'to do' list.
