Six small crochet chickens in the style of devils. They have red upper bodies, brown lower bodies, beady black eyes, black combs and goatees under their beaks. They have horns in white, black or red, and two have extra bat wings on their back. There are flames licking the bottom of the picture. A watermark is in the centre that says "Madeleine & Friends".

Crochet probably descends from using a tambour hook without a net base for the thread.

It fits the evidence of when the first crocheted cloth shows up and who has the technology to make it.

Knitting and crochet require spinning technology to advance to the point where people can produce long single pieces of thread whereas weaving and naelbinding pull the whole working thread through.

Weaving uses shuttles to make that possible without tangling and naelbinding uses short threads.

Brief overview of history of craft stuff:

You don’t find many every day tools in archeology because people use them until they break and they aren’t valuable enough to be grave goods. That means we have to piece things together from fragments, art, written records and preserved fabric.

Bunny bonding is going absolutely hilariously.

She's less than half his weight. Neither of them have any dignity 🤣

I saw that. Such a lovely idea but I'd never be able to crochet enough. Last year we ran out of candy three times before the end of the night. I kept having to go to the shops for more. Eventually just turned off the pumpkin lamp and closed the curtains. 😅

Have you ever seen the posts by the person who offers candy or a potato? Most kids go mad for the potato.

I guess novelty is exciting 😆

Haven't done much crocheting as Madeleine got a new friend. Well, Mac got a new friend, technically, but he's still grumpy about a new bunny in his home.

This is Penny. She is TINY. And very confused by the chickens...

And yes, that is specifically Madeleine in the video.

This is one of my favourite things I have made for me. Chuuya Nakahara from #BungoStrayDogs

He hangs from a keychain on my bag. Maybe I should make a little Dazai to terrorise him 😆

He has an orange comb that goes down his back and around to his side, and black hat and coat, white shirt, bright blue eyes, and a black collar around his neck.

One is a little rougher and in acrylic, while the other is in cotton and much neater.

I've been sidetracked from my robin by the urge to learn yarn under #crochet. It only took me a few short rounds to get into the swing of yu/yo. Now I'm going to compare two ghost #chicken #amigurumi. This one is yo/yo. Now to start the yu/yo one. 🧶

Now I've got a Halloween pattern sorted I was planning to start work on a Santa or Christmas Tree #crochet chicken. Completely forgot I had a robin prototype sitting around. They've been guarding our spare front door key for nearly a year. 🧶

Looking more and more like a fertility idol 😁

Wait... are we all being tricked into taking part in a fungus fertility ritual? Anyone keeping an eye on cordyceps populations??

After a week or so of time off crocheting (the day job has been BUSY), thought I'd buck a habit of a lifetime and get on a viral trend. It is a very cute trend.

What cap colour tho?

Currently looking a bit like a fertility idol... now there's a crochet idea 🤔😆

#MushroomGuy 🍄 #Crochet #Amigurumi 🧶
A loosely wound skein of cream coloured yarn, and an unfinished crochet doll. There's a slightly squashed ball for a head, and the body is just two dumpy legs and a wider waist.

Same energy...
Three small crochet chickens in the style of devils. They are standing in a line, facing the bottom centre of the picture, as if looking down in judgement on the viewer. They have red upper bodies, brown lower bodies, white or red horns, black combs, goatees, and beady black eyes. The two on either end have an extra set of bat-like wings each on their backs. There is a watermark in the corner that says "Madeleine and Friends, with blue silhouettes under it of a line of chickens and rabbits wearing scifi or fantasy outfits such as jester hats, cloaks, or ray guns. Three brown hens peering through a catflap. It is a bright summer day behind them.
