I hope you meant crocheted.
Do you mean “crocheted”? Because “crotched” is something COMPLETELY different.
I love this. Out of all the things to do, a frog!!! It just makes me want to learn even faster to do off the wall stuff like this.
OK, big fail here. No, not the fact that the frog is actually knit, not crocheted, but the fact that the title says the frog was crotched. There is a difference between a crotch and the craft known as crochet.
Thank you. The frog wins, but the title is wrong.
And for pointing that you, you win
Jen beat me to it.
I’m sure you meant “crocheted” and not “crotched”… ?
I’d buy that and hang it in my living room!
i uh…. think you mean “crocheted”. your title gives it a whole other meaning…
Wow…it’s been a whole week of typos…yes…though I really like the title in retrospect.
this is a win ??
The spelling fail is more entertaining.
My husband shoots me things that I might like and he’s always right! I teach an art appreciation class – I think they’ll like it to
cheers
Tag spelling fail. Inadvertent humour win.
Crotched dissected frog win.
And even the crocheted dissected frog is an epic win.
I think the main FAIL is that it’s knitted.
Neither crocheted nor crotched, but knitted.
Looks like needle point to me. I see at least 10 needles stickin that thing.lol
You know what would be great? Screw the spelling maybe it would be a win just to get the CRAFT right. It is Knit not Crochet and the insides are felted.
FAIL.
i hope this smells a bit better than your average dissected frog!
The perfect solution to the animal activist of high school who refuses to slice and dice a frog.
i forgot to add that this would have been the perfect punishment for me and my friends in bio one year when we started a frog fight with organs.
Now that crochet is properly spelled I need to point out that this frog is knitted and needle-felted–not crocheted. You can get your own. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39222033
9th grade is starting to come back to me now.
Also, as Jen above pointed out, the frog is actually knitted. The innards may or may not be needlefelted (I’m not experienced enough with needlefelting to recognize), but as a 20-year crocheter and a 1-year knitter, I guarantee you that frog is not crocheted.
Just if you’re curious. : p.
(PS, love the site, the slide on the curvy staircase is the best XD)
If you’re going to correct it, you might as well correct it so it says “knit” – that’s certainly not crochet.
Why did I go to the only school that didn’t disect frogs? We had a cat, some chicks, and a cow eye…I don’t remember why we had a cow eye…we just did.
…
Can somebody crochet a cow eye?
Dissecting a cow’s eye is a good way to learn the structure of the eye. Most animals that we’d normally dissect have very small eyes, but if you get cow’s eyes, they’re big enough to cut apart and look at without a microscope. The cow’s eye is even used to teach students in my anatomy lab; the preservation process for the cadavers tends to ruin a lot of the structures in the human eye. Even if it didn’t, the eye is rather fragile and wouldn’t hold up long after the med students dissected it, so the undergrads wouldn’t have much to see anyway. Thus, cow’s eyes. And probably a lot more than you wanted to know.
My first thought was that it’s knit, not crocheted! (There’s some felting in there too, actually).
My second thought was that I want the pattern for this frog. (I have other knitted wins, like a snatchel, in my gallery, maybe I should send them in.)
If you look at the Etsy page, there’s a sidebar link – I think by the same person – for a pattern to do something like this in a mouse motif.
What’s a snatchel?
BTW, that is knitting, not crochet.
Like Jen said this is knit not crocheted, or crotched, either.
I do have to agree with Jimbo on the smell thing. I remember almost throwing up from that nasty stench in Jr. High. We did other meaner things to living animals in HS.
The source is Crafty Hedgehog, and she does rats too (not sure about cow eyes). She sells patterns and also fully-knitted versions on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CraftyHedgehog
You still have a ‘crotched’ in your tags list. Which is an epic win IMHO.
Some people prefer crotching over crocheting and knitting.
Except its knitted.
This is knitting, NOT crochet. And quite well done, I might add.
FYI, that’s not crocheted. It’s knit. With felted innards.
Okay, people. It’s not crotched, it’s crocheted. It’s not crocheted, it’s knitted. Please stop saying what a million people have said and marvel at the awesome that is this frog dissection.
I hope that Melissa will be the last to mention it.
(Wait, am I mentioning it? Oh, who cares. Technicality.)
This is too amazing for words… I seriously cannot get enough of looking at it. I would blatantly own one of these!
Is it otherwise possible to accidentally own one?
Well, you could own it subtlety.
Oh, I love this artist!
You should include the artist’s esty site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CraftyHedgehog
in the description, so that the crafter can get some sales from this.
HAHAH! they changed the name after all of the knitting people got all upset! i WAS gonna say something but then i saw that people already corrected it. that’s funny!!
PLEASE source this so the person who made the pattern can get credit! http://www.etsy.com/shop/CraftyHedgehog
Schools should use this instead of a real frog for D-Day. No more formaldehyde! And you could actually get to the interesting organs, like the brain.
wtf kind of sick grandma does this guy have?!?!
