Knitted, dissected froggy

Emily Stoneking knitted and felted this dissected frog sculpture for her Etsy store (it's sold out now, alas!): "The frog is hand knit from a silk/wool blend, and his little innards were needle-felted by hand out of 100% wool. He comes pinned into his black wood 8 x 10 inch frame, but he is not glued down, so you can take him out and cuddle him if you wish." Link (via Neatorama!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Emily, if you can knit and felt a fetal pig I will purchase a gross. For instructive purposes of course. Maybe some cuddling. We’ll see how cute they are.

Fantastic in the truest sense of the word. Good for you Emily.

Very funny, I know that she’s working on a fetal pig pattern.

Cory,

For having missed the opportunity to purchase one of these, you must be pithed.

The words “sold out” sound so final. Emily (who is my wife) has made and sold two of these so far and she will no doubt make more (and there are other fine cuddly items available too).

I’m admittedly pretty biased, but I think Emily also has a damned fine medieval history/old English/knitting blog too.
