Can We Do It? Meet "Gisela and Elli"



Would you have been able to not fall for this incredible cutie-pie? I was not!

Now I have a problem... Gisela... well...

I´ve tried something similar before and actually had a hard time, yet... I fell for it again!

I learned this at school btw and Ingo was great at it out of protest.

Gisela....



Yes, she comes in pieces.
With instruction and crochet hook.
I think it was 7th grade whenI "learned" to crochet.

I kinda doubt I still can do it?
Can Ingo, dunno - he learned it cause in his time (he´s 7 years older than me), girls were allowed to crochet in lessons - so, Ingo made a point, right?
No surprise, huh?
Ingo was the very first to let go of long hair and kids opened the classroom-door yelling, pointing at him: There he is!...

We´ll see about Gisela - but what about Elli?
This is Elli, btw:



Niece loves unicorns.
The sales lady said some kids can do it aged kindergarten-kids - do you agree?
I was in 7th grade!

Am I too early (again), will Niece get frustrated?
Should I give it a go?
Wait and hope she still likes unicorns in 8 years, not likely, huh?!

How come I always fall for stuff like this?!
I should´ve only taken Gisela, right?

A female customer showed me how to start, but, ewww... the instruction must be translated to German from... I have no idea, it´s not understandable! Not even for her...

Love the giraffe. Hope you can do it Iris.
I also learned crochet and knitting in my younger days, but I think I would need some refresher lessons to start again.

Well, yes, I hope so, too! Guess SIL will "hate" me if I give the unicorn to Niece ;-)
