With the impending change in weather...okay, this is the South, it won't be autumn for awhile. But still, with the dream of the change in weather, I started thinking about Thanksgiving (mostly thinking about how to convince my husband to try his hand at homemade pumpkin pie), and I thought it would be cute to make an amigurumi turkey to liven up the table or something. So I'm taking an old pattern from Crochet Today and modding it a bit to make Mr. Gobbles.
Here's the rough sketch idea:
I got to work already on the tail; this is how it turned out:
I was going for the look of those drawings we used to do in elementary school with all the cliche fall colors. Plus, why have just a plain brown crochet bird sitting there? And then I got lazy and gave up for the night. Ha. Still, it's a start and I may actually finish this bad boy in time to grace the table on Turkey Day. Maybe.
