Crochet Square Monster Reviewed by Elizabeth Jones on 2008-07-03
I have seven grandchildren, most of whom fall into the age category, that I anticipate will appreciate these "monsters". I anticipate that I will enjoy making these as much as the kids will enjoy playing with them, and the textures will be great for the younger kids. I can see these monsters being lined up to play "schools" "doctors" and "mums and babies", all favourite games and all requiring many more participants, so that I will be crocheting for a while to come. Thanks so much for the idea.
