Pattern: Frances the Charismatic Monster by Rebecca Danger [Ravelry]
Yarn: Cascade 220 Heathers, 1 skein, 9452 summer sky heather
Needles: US 8
Recipient: Maya's baby Abel!
Notes: This is baby Abel. He's quite a little monster!
Well, not exactly a little one. He's 7.5 months old, and I won't share his weight because it's rude to talk about a person's weight publicly, but let's just say his mama Maya has her some guns.
So when it came time for Abel's babywarming, Virginia thought as our group gift we should make some monster themed loot for this little dude. Virginia made some of these adorable Das Monster pants! Maybe if I can snag a photo from some one, I'll post one here, because they are AWESOME.
And I made the monster a monster. This is Frances. Isn't he just debonaire?
He's working on his first novel on the old Underwood typewriter. He just loves the heft of the keys under his, um, paws.
His teeth are made of felt. I took a bit of poetic license (i.e., didn't look at the pattern) with his ears, and his mouth is upside down. Whoops.
But, all in all, he still manages to be quite genteel, as does Abel. I hope he gets a lot of joy dragging Frances around by the feet for many years to come.

Posted by: JulieFrick at January 29, 2012 7:22 PMI believe it is the light blue tweed that makes this monster seriously classy.
Posted by: Melynda at January 29, 2012 8:17 PMCute little monster -- the blue one. The human one cannot be a monster. Wish I still had my Underwood.
