the big reveal...

As I mentioned before, my sister made it back to work and FINALLY received my big, crocheted surprise! Here it is, in all its glory:

Yep, that's Pee Wee and Chairry! It took a couple of weeks, spending a few hours here and there, to make, but it was WELL worth it. I purchased the pattern on the CraftyIsCool etsy site. I think mine look pretty true to the pattern and picture she posted, though I think my Pee Wee's head might be a bit bigger than it's supposed to be. The pattern called for a crochet hook one size smaller than what I had. When I went to Michael's they were all out of the needed size too! I was too impatient to wait for them to restock, so I just used a larger hook...which may have equaled the larger head. I'm not really experienced enough in crocheting to be sure. Maybe I'll make this again in the future with the smaller hook, just to see...
