Alligator Itchy is his name
He wants to share with you his little game
To play, Itchy will first hide in a pile of leaves
He’ll pretend to get lost and make you believe
Then when you are not aware
He’ll pop out and give you quite a scare
Depending if he’s hungry or full
He might just nudge you or turn you into wool
He is now ready to play with his owner, Peach
Does he fail or does he succeed?

He is too cute. Does your alligator have manors? :)
Hahahaha Peach will have to teach Itchy some manors! =p
Oh wait, he does! When he eats, it’s always clean because he swallows everything whole! =p
Too cute!
YAY!!!! I’m glad he turned out because I had just enough yarn for his body and mouth. His feet are a different colour because I couldn’t find the body coloured yarn anywhere!!! It’s like they suddenly discontinued that colour !
Probably! lol I am finding when I need a certain color, that is the day the bins are empty. Can be very frustrating if you have a plan. ;) But he is adorable. Do you make pigs?
Hi Lori!! It’s been such a long time but I am now getting through all the unread messages :) My very good friend LOVES pigs and I do want to make one but I haven’t found that right tone of pink yet!!! Do you love pigs as well? According to the Chinese Zodiac, my sign is a Pig =p
I love stuffed pigs! lol They’re so much cleaner than the others.
Very cute!
THANKS AGAIN!!!!!! <3
Ahh they are so cute! I love that they are out enjoying nature!!
Thank you!!! Fall is my favourite season of all!!! I just love the colourful leaves on the tree and on the ground!
Best friends forever! Itchy’s little feet are adorable!
Your alligator is adorable!! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Thank you for visiting my blog as well!!!!!!!!!! <3
Thank you!!! i contemplated forever on what to do with the feet colour because I couldn’t find the body coloured yarn anywhere!!
So cute! Did you write the poem, too?
Thank you!!! Yes, I wrote the poem as well! :D
He is cute. TFS. Love how you get great snaps of your projects having fun!
Thank you!!! The day I took pictures of Itchy was so random! It was cloudy and dark and raining a bit, then the sun came out and the sky was clear but then the rain was spitting… after a few minutes the rain spitting stopped and it was super sunny again! It drove me crazy!!!!!!
Purrrfect for my 12 yo. He is in love with all the dangerous animals!! I made turtles for dad and the twins, but a gator would do my oldest just fine!
Awwwwwww the knitted alligator is a good size too!!! It’s about the size from your elbow to the palm of your hand! I have a dinosaur pattern that I want to try out in the future! I haven’t found the right colours but I hope to get to it soon! :)
Oh my goodness, you are amazing! I’m so glad you stopped by and LIKED my blog. You should go back and leave a comment so other readers will come to your blog. If any people want to knit, they would LOVE what you are doing. My fave is def the monkeys….love me some monkeys. Thanks for stopping by.
AWWWWWWWWWw thank you for your kind words!!!! The monkeys were definitely a big hit!! I will be spamming your blog very soon hahahhahaa
Aaahhh! He is sooo adorable. I just love all the toys you make.
Thank you again!!! Itchy loves you too!! :)
I do hope Itchy plays nicely with Peach, they are so cute.
hahahhaa yes, If Itchy ate Peach, he’d be lonely! =p They’re playing that staring game now… so far no one blinked =p
Wow, as usual you amaze me with your talents, fantastic Alligator, amazing pics and a great imagination. Your posts always brighten my day X
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your comment made MY day!!!! Such a nice warm feeling in my heart :)
I totally agree with Kalfury. You have amazing talents! I adore the aligator, which I thought to be a toxic caterpillar, and his life story. In fact, with your permission, I’d like to use it to play a game with my kindergarten kids. Is it ok?
Oh yes! Of course you can use it with your kindergarten kids! :) It’s interesting how this blog turned out because originally, I was going to make this a teaching blog so others can use it as a resource. I’m not an actual teacher, but I graduated from Teachers College a couple of years ago and was planning to blog about my experiences and challenges. So when I read your comment, I’m just so happy!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Itchy is a real cutie. Way to go!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It says anonymous so I hope you get this msg!! :)
I always like coming to your blog because you always have the cutest things! He’s just adorable.
Awwwww Thanks for loving Itchy and my other toys!!! :) :) :) <3 :) :) :)
what pretty pictures of Itchy and Peach! I hope Itchy didn’t bite Peach too hard in one of the photos
AWwww thank you again for commenting!!! In the original pattern, there’s suppose to be teeth! But after I tried to knit on the teeth, it looked funny, so Itchy is as harmless as it gets! hehehe
Lol! Good to know! :)
You are a seriously talented lady! Love all the knitted creatures I have seen on here!
Thank you for visiting!!!!!!!!!! I love comments and i’m sooo sorry this reply is MONTHS later :*(! <3
Thanks for visiting and liking my blog!
Your puppy is very creative!!! I’m impressed…
Thank you for visiting as well!!! Teddie wasn’t TOO cooperative and as you can see in some of the photos there’s a leash! hahaha if he had the chance, he would run =p
Hi, just dropped by to check it out, and wow, you’re quite handy with those knitting needles!!! I must admit I am currently knitting my first scarf, actually a seed pattern greyish cowl… can you tell my very first. It was actually something I had wanted to attempt and learn for a very long time, and it will soon be completed, mistakes and all.
HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This reply is SOOo late that I bet you finished the cowl already!!! If you have pictures please send me a link! :) I’d love to see it :) :) :) <3
I did finish it, and I will post a pic just for you. Although fun to make, it really was too thick, and I didn’t like wearing it so unfortunately that was a bust, but will attempt another go, eventually …;)
I nominated you for a fun award please check it out at http://ddlollybabe.wordpress.com/2012/11/14/liebster-award/ Congrats!!
