Have a great time. Thanks for sharing the pattern!
love it! you are just too fun! thanks a bunch
Thank you so much for this one. Tis the season for making bloody props! Happy New Zealand-ing too!
you're crazy. If I made the appendages, people would just think they were some funky-arsed thing. Only YOU can make them look the way they're supposed to...
Wow, thanks for sharing!! Your fingers look so real and terrifying, yet somehow so cute at the same time! I'm so excited to make these and freak out everyone I know!
amazing...You 'invent' such fun stuff. :o)
Totally awesome! I'm always amazed by you.
You rock! Thank you for sharing!
Definitly something (party favor?) to make for my Dreary Christmas party that I always want to have, but never do.
i NEED to learn how to crochet....these fingers just slay me!!!
You....
are a genius.
I want to go to Middle Earth, too! I totally have an inner hobbit!
That's it: I MUST learn how to crochet more than just one stitch. I might just be able to do that when The Crochet Dude is in my town next week. I'll print this off and make him teach me.
Also: I SO MUCH WANNA GO TO NZ! Can't wait for photos.
i almost wet my pants when i saw those severed fingers!!!just brilliant - cannot wait to make!
OMG! Completely awesome!
:)
Those are Fantastic!
Gah!!! Why can;t I crochet damnit! My son would LOVE one of those fingers!
Ooh....spooky! Love it. Too bad I am no good at crochet.
Awesome pattern :D
Just finished making a severed finger. I had to add my own twist: Fringes. From the center of the cut a bit of bone white, then a bit of the AC and finally the MC at the edges.
Then trimmed down to a tight pack of very short fringes to give it all a nice and torn look!
Muwahaha! :D
These look great. I'm new to crocheting and would LOVE to make this. I tried but I think I'm messing up, big time. Could you maybe tell me how many stitch should be in each round, because right now it's all lopsided and I'm only at rnd 9 so it's gotta be wrong!
These are going in the family Christmas stockings this year! Thank you for sharing your brilliance!
