Ribbit by Spud and Chloe

This is RIBBIT designed by Susan from Spud and Chloe (http://www.spudandchloe.com/). I came across this website while I was vacationing in Australia, but at the time I didn't have the patience to sit behind the computer for too long as it was such nice weather outside. Well this past weekend after doing some regular housework which really needed to be done, I decided to visit the blog and start at the beginning. Well there's plenty of patterns I've added to my knitting list and having just finished the two Best Friends Cats for the two little boys, and not wanting to start on my cross stitch project (I'm starting that as soon as I finish writing here), I decided to try this little fellow out. Of course I didn't have the suggested yarn, but I went through my stash and found some left over green, black and red from a jacket I knit for my cousin two years ago (he wanted a Jamaican flag on it), I just started it. I wasn't sure I had enough, but low and behold I had plenty, because I still have plenty left over. So anyway,the only things I changed were that I didn't add the tennis ball for the body (didn't have one at hand), and I didn't cast off where I was supposed to for the body, but just continued on with the head which worked out quite nicely. The hands and feet were a bit trickier, but after I got the hang of the first one, it was clear sailing the rest of the way. The arms and legs are done in I-Cord, but I'd never done that, but I liked it so much that I even made Ribbit a little red I-Cord scarf. I'm not sure which Spud and Chloe project I'm going to make next, it could be the turkey, rabbit, elf, hats one of the many other projects. They're regularly adding new posts and patterns, so if you're a knitting fan and liked Ribbit here, definitely go check out their site. Actually I'm thinking I'm going to get a request as soon as a friend of mine sees this little guy, because she loves frogs.
