All this is coming just when I finally was able to get the testing done on my newest reading character bookmark, the Scarecrow of Oz. I got interested in these characters because a very good friend of mine was telling me about growing up on the Oz books as a young girl. The pictures in her books were delightful and so I thought (after doing some research) that I would try to make my own renditions.
The biggest challenge for me to try to come up with a crochet stitch that looks like rope. Then I remembered about twisting crochet thread into rope like pieces. I love his diploma which he is holding in his hands to prove that he has a brain.
With all the wild weather we had this summer including some extreme tornadoes that hit in locations that were not set up for them and the terrible losses in Joplin, MO, and a small town here in KS that same day, this series just seemed appropriate.
Hopefully fall will be so much better weather wise. I know this scarecrow would not mind hanging out in our fields around where I live right now. What do you like most about Autumn?
