The Blog That Time Forgot

Here we are, the last weekend in January, and I still haven't finished my Christmas blogging. There are a few exciting non-knit projects in the Whackahopper which have forced me into a quasi knitting sabbatical. Frankly, I can use it since I knit my wrists off during the last month. I had blisters on my fingahs!
With the happy exception of Noelle Aguayo (whose sleep deprivation seems to have triggered a blogging episode), the biorhythm on the entire blogsphere seems to be running a little low. So, I'm just gonna roll with it for now.
Here's a little project to help us remember the days before blogs and paleotology, when humans and dinosaurs roamed the earth together. Behold the family of Neandratholic finger puppets, with a flying pteropuppet and pet dinosaur:


The dinosaur was especially fun, and one of the few projects I've made using a pattern. It comes from Knitted and Felted Toys, by Zoe Halstead. I substituted Lion Brand Suede with a second green/blue wool blend, knit double. On the first try, I finished a dino in about four hours from start to stuffing. Super quick and cute. I made a few of 'em... in a few million years, they'll be oil!
