I finished the snake last night. I used white felt and green buttons for the eyes, and added "eyelids" of black felt (he looked like he needed more of an expression). I also crocheted the tongue rather than making a long finger-crochet chain and then sewing it into the appropriate shape (partly because I couldn't find the right color thread but mainly because that kind of sewing annoys me).

I think I'm going to concentrate on the Lightning-Bolt family sweater now; I'm about 2" or so from the neckline dec's on the front, and then all I have to do is the sleeves.

After that, I'm going to start a Sitcom Chic. Probably the one out of the 1824 cotton first; the Topacio is thinner and I may have to play around a bit to get gauge.
