Me Like Alligators

in Getting Crafty

Not too long ago, Boo, Pumpkin Girl and I were sitting on the couch doing school.  We were studying animals and Bip came up to us, peered over the edge of the book, saw what we were reading and said, “Me like alligators.  Hmph.”

I hadn’t known he likes alligators so much.  He likes to see them at the zoo, on TV, in books, anywhere.  So what’s a mama to do but knit her little boy an alligator scarf, in green, his favorite color.

How cool is that?

Love the face!

It only took me a couple of weeks to finish.  The whole time Bip would say, “You finish my alligator?”  I’d tell him I wasn’t quite done and he’d say, “No fair!”

Silly boy!  He was very happy when I showed him his finished scarf.  Now both of us can hardly wait for the colder weather to set in!

More Mac and Cheese, please!

That is absolutely adorable! You must, must, MUST take a picture of that cute little alligator around his sweet little neck as soon as the weather cooperates. And then you have to read “No Fighting, No Biting Little Alligators!”.

That is cool! I’d like to find one with a frog head on one end and frog legs on the other end

That is a very cute alligator – here in the UK they have raincoats and boots with spines up the back that are alligators or dragons depending on the wearer.

How cute is that?! Maybe you could do the knitting part for me when I’m a grandma.

I will be amazed if he makes it to cold weather BEFORE wearing it ;)
Such a great scarf!
