I know its really hot out there and the last thing your craving is a nice warm blanket .. BUT .. hey, it's the Creature!

Just scored this beautiful handmade one of a kind crochet blanket.

Many thanks to a dear friend of mine who assisted me in obtaining it.

General, that is amazing!  What time and talent went into that!  I'd love to see all of the monsters done this way.

Thanks Aura! Not sure of the actual hours invested in crocheting, but I'm sure its a lot. All handmade - no machine!

A dear friend, and fellow UMA member, has a talented co-worker who crochets blankets. This is her first monster blanket. She usually crochets children's blankets with Thomas the Tank Train, Tweety Bird, etc.

I think I'm going to strip down to my birthday suit and roll myself up in all this monster blanket goodness.  :)

Wow!! That's amazing!! Of course however, the magic is radically tempered by the thought of your naughty bits being rubbed across Creech's visage.

Thank you for sharing the photo of the blanket -which is super-awesome, BTW -but please resist the urge to post pictures of yourself all cuddled up in the blankie!

We know how you love to share, General....

I've been given clearance to identify the talented artist who made this blanket. It turns out she's also a UMA member! Her UMA name is Batty Belfry. Her real name is Rhonda. She likes to crochet and she might be open to commissioned work.

Again, a monstrous salute goes out to Richard Olson for his assistance in setting me up.

I've been meaning to show a more soft and gentler kind of General. This blanket will give me the opportunity to do so. And besides, it will be good for ratings.  :)

As I mentioned in the weekly finds thread - it gives the term "seabed" and entirely different take! Congrats to batty belfry, it is beautifully done!

The Creeper

That is one awesome blanket!  She really is good at it and could make some money from a lot of us Monster Kids.  Would love to see what else she could make.
Long live the UMA!

Daggum, that is awesome! I'd love to have one of those that's Frankenstein or Dracula.

My grandmother used to crochet, so I know that it definitely takes a long time. (Wish Granny would have made me a monster blanket.   :()  But this is exceptionally well done!  So props to Batty Belfry!
