Crafting buddies? Anyone?

I’m lucky to have 2 scaly babies. You can see Karl (bearded dragon), on the ladder I knit him to climb up the windowsill. Elvis (crested gecko) is up his plant, coming for a chat. I love them both so much :heart::lizard::dragon::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:!

What’s it like having reptiles as pets? I always wondered, do they they have a way of showing affection…? :thinking:

What’s more affectionate than posing on a ladder that was knitted just for you? :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

It’s great. We got them as I love animals but my partner was allergic to my rats. When they passed, after a few year, we decided to find new pets. Here they are. They are both very expressive. Karl was never shy and has lots to say. :joy: He’s a bossy boy. We have a deep bond (each a bit different) . Elvis took his time with trust, but now he comes for cuddles and gets really exited sometimes :blush:. I could go on but yes, they have big personalities, cheeky, cuddly, bossy, funny. You need to learn to listen to them. No voice but a lot of language. And lots of love. I heard some say that they can be boring. I think that’s only the case if you don’t care enough. You need to do your research too, as their needs are different but vital. I love them! :two_hearts:
PS: we’ve had Karl for 8yrs and Elvis almost 7yrs.cc

I don’t have any furry knitting buddies (stupid allergies), but my 3 girls will sit and knit with me. I taught them when they were 8 (the twins) and 7 (my baby doll). They started with dishcloths. We got each of them a Denise needle set for Christmas one year. The twins have both made a shawl. Baby Doll has made a blanket for her dolls. They love to get dishcloth yarn as gifts and then knit them for their grandmas and aunts.

This little one is my fur baby

She is a rescue dog, and I feel like she also rescued me since she became my assistant dog.

I love her to bits and would be absolutely lost without her.

That’s awesome! My old family dog hated cameras! Every time a lens was pointed at her she looked away, it was so hard to get good pictures of her! :laughing:

My craft helper is our little schnauzer, Jess. She’s sometimes difficult to see well on pictures because her coat is so dark - she loves helping with the computer work, too!
