Here is a great photo tutorial on how to make a "fabric" with pop tabs and chain stitch in crochet. It's fairly easy to do.
I used this tecnique when I make the Pop Tab Envelope Purse. As you can see from the photo the purse needed to be linned but you can still see clearly the pop tab "fabric".
I also used it to make part of this Pop Tab Monkey.It would be great to use in other totes and purse styles as well as maybe in a vest or scarf.
As soon as I get the video posted for the tutorial I'll let you know!

Missy Kissy Slinky Stair Walking Toy
Missy Kissy: I've no real reason for naming this creation Missy Kissy. It's just that the lips are in the shape of a heart which make me think of puckering up for a kiss and with the wiggle eyes and ring on her feet...well, it just has to me a miss and not a Mr doesn't it?
Anyway, as you can see I took a jumbo plastic Slinky and crochet around it with fun fur eyelash yarn. It's not as hard as it sounds. Once you get started it goes fairly fast.
I only used one skein of yarn and then stretched it out to cover as much of the Slinky as possible and removed the remaining Slinky spring. I was able to cut it with scissors, but don't use your best pair!
Next I added felt feet, eyes and mouth and even a ring for one of her toes!
Wiggle eyes made the look
complete. There is a slit from the bottom of the eyes to about the wiggle eye. When split apart it is glued to either side of a spring. And you are done.
Best of all, if you stretched your yarn out enough and only ended up clipping off a few of the springs it will still walk down the stairs much like a Slinky of old, but funnier!
I made two, this jumbo one and a smaller one. You can find the pattern on my site along with the patterns for the felt.
Oh yea, about what I did with the left over springs.
Now you know I couldn't leave them alone, right?
I made this belt. It reminds me of a 1960's brass ring belt. I cut the rings apart so that I had continuous circles and then crochet the connectors.Each connector was then sewn around a ring until I had enough for a belt.
I haven't had the nerve to wear it though!

I Love Slinkies!
I Love Slinkies!
I love the way they feel in your hands.
I love the way they make noise when you let them slink (slink?) from hand to hand.
I especially love how when I was a kid they would drive my brother nuts from the noise they made.
Sure, I didn't HAVE to slink my Slinky constantly, but what else could I do? It's addicting!
At least to me anyway.
Anyone else feel that way?

What Makes A Toy Interactive?
Question of the Week:
I recently took a pole about crochet toys. The question was which you you perfer, the cuties sit around toy or one that was interactive.
Interactive won hands down.
Now here is my qestion:
What makes a crochet toy be considered as interactive?
The addition of magnets so that you can mover-exchange body parts?
Bendable Arms and Legs?
A play set?
Something where each leg squeeks, music plays, etc?
Wheels that actuall roll?
Something with a purpose? Like this ring stacker?
Or ring toss game?
I can wait to read your responses!

PUTTING THE DRUM TOGETHER:

Beg with the Middle of the drum and stretch to fit around the center of the crisper. Evenly space and sew the 8 bottom connecter straps around middle. Sew bottom to the other end of the straps. Rep for the top of the drum.

With yarn and G hook ch-3, sl st to form a ring.

RND 2: Hdc ea st around, sl st top beg hdc, ch-1, turn.
Rep row 2 until piece will easily slip over one dowel, fasten off and sew end closed. Rep for other drumstick.
The idea behind the drum is to allow a child to safely “bang” away on it. Best of all, the crochet helps “quiet” the drum.
