So we have this saying in our house when it comes to the gift-giving times of the year..."I wonder what Aunt Jane will crochet for us"? And by this time we know it could be ANYTHING! Take a look at the awesome pair of crochet sneakers/slippers I got for my birthday....have you EVER seen anything so awesome.
Well, shoes are not the only thing she can create. I think her specialty is making "critters"....basically any object at all...animate or inanimate...with an added pair of eyes.
Of course she not only creates these for fun. She has made a set of animal finger puppets for Ken to use at story time in the library
and has crocheted me some wool coral that exhibit characteristics of hyperbolic mathematical curves. (say, what? see Ted Talks)I am actually working on getting her invited to my school as a guest crochet-er during a workshop on marine biology/math/art!
If she ever wants to quit her day job, I think she could make a FORTUNE selling her woolen friends!

Our favorite here is Earl N. Meyer. Oh, and the two peas in a pod. :-)
