Do-Re-Mi-Quack! by jennifer flynn (madgoose) [Crochet]

Submitter's Comments:
Ask anyone this year and they will definitely tell you that this has been the coldest winter in recent memory! While I am not a trained meteorologist, I can guarantee you that every day this week is going to be freezing! Therefore, any items in addition to sweatshirts, blankets, and electric portable heaters that can keep you warm is a must have in my house.

So when it came down to deciding on a Threadless design to crochet I must of been in a "must retain all warmth" frame of mind, because as soon as I saw Do-Re-Mi-Quack! I knew exactly what I would do. The design would make a perfect funky draft excluder aka draft snake. Luckily, I had all the materials I needed at hand since I had recently received a crochet starter kit from my best friend (thanks sara!)

My favorite part of this project was each little bird, it sounds silly but after sewing on their little felt eyes and mouths they all seem to take on different personalities. The hardest part of the project was making sure that each bird was sewn in the right place to keep the draft branch level and not tip over. The whole project took about a month, working on it a bit each day.

Today when I finally finished the project before putting those little birdies to work fighting those pesky drafts, I perched them on the window ledge so that they could sing to anyone down below walking by if they so felt inclined.

Technical Stuff:

I used a 3.5mm crochet hook, Sugar N Cream yarn for the duck, green birds, and leaves. Red Heart yarn for blue birds and the tree branch and Patrons yarn for the pink birds. Polyfill was used to fill the birds, branch, and speech bubbles.

I crocheted in circles so that I could adjust the pattern for each bird depending on how tall or plump I needed them to be, basically I just eyeballed it. However, I did have to look up on YouTube how to crochet a leaf and the duck feet. The bird wings I just adapted from the leaf pattern and once again adjusted to fit with the size of the bird or duck.

The eyes, mouths, and speech bubbles of the birds were made from black and white felt. I tried crocheting these items, but in the end I just preferred the way the felt looked. I cut out patterns from paper and then used them to keep the size of each item consistent for each bird. All the felt items were then sewn onto the birds using needle and thread.

The embroidery on the branch and on the birds tummies were made by just using yarn (green or white) and a tapestry needle.

Ask anyone this year and they will definitely tell you that this has been the coldest winter in recent memory! While I am not a trained meteorologist, I can guarantee you that every day this week is going to be freezing! Therefore, any items in addition to sweatshirts, blankets, and electric portable heaters that can keep you warm is a must have in my house.

So when it came down to deciding on a Threadless design to crochet I must of been in a "must retain all warmth" frame of mind, because as soon as I saw Do-Re-Mi-Quack! I knew exactly what I would do. The design would make a perfect funky draft excluder aka draft snake. Luckily, I had all the materials I needed at hand since I had recently received a crochet starter kit from my best friend (thanks sara!)

My favorite part of this project was each little bird, it sounds silly but after sewing on their little felt eyes and mouths they all seem to take on different personalities. The hardest part of the project was making sure that each bird was sewn in the right place to keep the draft branch level and not tip over. The whole project took about a month, working on it a bit each day.

Today when I finally finished the project before putting those little birdies to work fighting those pesky drafts, I perched them on the window ledge so that they could sing to anyone down below walking by if they so felt inclined.

Technical Stuff:

I used a 3.5mm crochet hook, Sugar N Cream yarn for the duck, green birds, and leaves. Red Heart yarn for blue birds and the tree branch and Patrons yarn for the pink birds. Polyfill was used to fill the birds, branch, and speech bubbles.

I crocheted in circles so that I could adjust the pattern for each bird depending on how tall or plump I needed them to be, basically I just eyeballed it. However, I did have to look up on YouTube how to crochet a leaf and the duck feet. The bird wings I just adapted from the leaf pattern and once again adjusted to fit with the size of the bird or duck.

The eyes, mouths, and speech bubbles of the birds were made from black and white felt. I tried crocheting these items, but in the end I just preferred the way the felt looked. I cut out patterns from paper and then used them to keep the size of each item consistent for each bird. All the felt items were then sewn onto the birds using needle and thread.

The embroidery on the branch and on the birds tummies were made by just using yarn (green or white) and a tapestry needle.
