An "old" friend of mine (not such a big fan as we are, but still....) made this little cutie recently for me and gave it to me today.
I think he is really adorable and am HAPPY!!!
He has curls and a sweet little coat (look at the red button hole!) and I love him. And her. For making this for me.

You're so lucky, Mattlocked! Just look at those curls...

**Posted by Mattlocked** September 14, 2013 7:28 pm

And you can twist and diffuse them!

Oh that is so adorable!

Wow, how amazing! He's great! Even hubby said he's very cute!

(We won't discuss the eye colour, though, let's stick to the skin colour )

What a nice nice gift!

Can you undress him as well?

**Posted by Mattlocked** September 14, 2013 7:54 pm

Well, the eyes.... Sadly there weren't any "light aquamarine, green-y kinda things, which change depending on whichever light is stronger, whichever colour is stronger" available.

Yes, you can undress him. Coat and scarf. Which shall be enough for the beginning.

Well, as long as he HAS eyes, we won't complain, right?

Who would ask for more?

Aww, he's so cute.

I want one. ...

It is absolutely adorable. How often have you undressed it yet?

**Posted by Mattlocked** September 17, 2013 7:18 pm

Sadly she doesn't want to do it again - she only gives away the crochet pattern.
If you are interested, you can find it here now:

Thank you, Mattlocked!
I used to crochet ages ago. Maybe a good opportunity to bring that back in...

Thank you, I've already sent it to a friend. She promised to give it a try.

**Posted by Mattlocked** September 17, 2013 7:47 pm

Oh, that would be great if you tried!

"Speckerna" just started worrying that poor old grandmas would be kidnapped and locked away in basements, forced to crochet Sherlocks.

Note to self: Find secret entrance to retirement home down the street. But first, make space in basement.

**Posted by Mattlocked** September 17, 2013 7:52 pm

LOL
You wouldn't have to do that secretly. Go there officially and take money for it.

Well, me. I'd ask for a Pocket John, as well.

Her answer: You just have to change the pattern a bit here and there.

Good answer. Too bad I'm generally having two left hands when it comes to handicraft.

**Posted by Mattlocked** September 17, 2013 8:42 pm

Me, too.
I would manage to do the scarf, though.
