I once crocheted a turtle kind of like that for my nephew. The shell part was left hollow and inside you could fit two baby turtles, a couple of eggs, and a pair of egg shells (so you could pretend one of the babies just hatched from an egg.) I guess the weirdest thing I’ve done though is the little green Cthulhu from the book Creepy Cute Crochet, complete with tentacles and wings. ---

Ashley (p. 589) mentions knitting hammocks out of lobster cord using two broomstick handles for needles. Nice to see someone keeping up the old traditions. ---

> [@DZedNConfused](#): > > A friend of mine knit a fish hat for one of my dolls, it looks like the fish is eating him from the head down Because this thread was started in 2004, I’ll mention that my son has a hat that’s shaped like a zombie eating his head. It’s sewn from felt, not knitted, but I’m sure one could be knitted.
