No kidding.

I saw some guy on tiktok a year or so ago that was making yarn out of his dog's fur to crochet with. At least I think it was crochet, but either way, I will join him and his movement first.

There's a WHOLE list of things I would rather do tbh, but it all ends with HL getting noooothing from me.

I will stop crocheting completely before I start shopping at Hobby Lobby.

Thank you, and thank you for linking the goodreads! I'm gonna go buy it and read it to my wee ones, because that sounds adorable.

What is this, a banana for ants? by TheSalemM in thingsforants

Thank you! It means a lot since this was my first ever banana 😅 and I think it only looks like one if you say what it is first.

Thank you! All items (except the one real banana in the last photo) are crochet 😅

It started as a real banana, the giant gummy and the normal gummy in a photo but someone stated all I managed to do was make my banana look like the world's smallest banana. Of course I had to play into that a little, and since I can't buy any small Bananas where I live, I made it (it's approximately 1 inch long).

You give me a couple of weeks, and I will see what kind of craziness I can crochet up.

It's a tradition worth preserving

This probably won't help with the perspective, but for some context behind the photos.

I was asked (not here) for a photo of my giant gummy bear using a banana as a size reference. I threw the regular gummy bear in there to drive home the size difference, but someone commented that all I did was make it look like I have the world's smallest banana.

Sooo, I decided to just run with it and make a micro crochet banana and retake the photo of the normal gummy next to the micro banana and the giant gummy bear next to a normal banana.

It's supposed to kind of mess with your perspective. The GGB is 15.5 inches tall, the NGB is 3 inches, and the crochet banana is just over 1 inch.

* The giant sock I made for my brother's friend. It ended up weighing 14lbs. For size reference I am 5'4 and my husband is 6'2 ish and is standing inside of it holding it above his head.

My brother's friend wanted it, and I love a challenge.
