See, it is supposed to be a frog. A frog puppet for little-miss-e's 1st birthday. She loves frogs, she finds them very funny. And she loves puppets, so I thought, what better than to crochet her a frog puppet for her birthday.
Well, the problems have been many (leaving aside the fact that her birthday has come and gone and I am still working on her present). I couldn't find a pattern I liked, so I started adapting this snake pattern (which is why everyone thinks it is a snake). But my adaptions have been frustrating and slow and I've lost confidence that there is going to be any froggy resemblance once I am done! The mouth is too long, not wide enough, the legs are too spindley and the crochet too loose. I'm finally nearly done, but not nearly happy.
Still, here's hoping that if I tell her it's a frog she'll simply believe me!
What about you? Do you have any birthday present/doesn't-resemble-what-it-is-supposed-to-be disasters? And, do you think it looks anything like a frog?

When you said it's a frog i saw it! I am sure it will resemble a frog closely enough and no doubt your little one will love it! Good luck with finishing it off in time :)
I have to say I assumed it was a frog - it really doesn't look like a snake! :-). And she'll love it.
Looks very froggy to me. Big eyes will finish it off perfectly. What a wonderful present.Galumph!!!!!
