Pago the Seal

I usually love trying something new with anything, sport, food, crafts. There is one craft I refuse to learn because it will take over my life. Knitting. I love knitted sweaters, and every year as soon as it starts to get cold I am eyeing those sweaters up in stores….so bad. As I have decided to refrain from learning the art of knitting and crocheting, I have now deemed Craftybunny my go to person for anything I want/need to be made with hooks and yarn.

She recently completed a commission piece for a co-worker which was a knitted amigurumi Michael Jackson doll, with removable jacket and white glove! She has since sent me many examples of other artists amigurumi work, and gotten myself browsing through 40+ amigurumi related Etsy pages….

I then found something I NEEDED to be made, and put in a request for a knitted seal. Now through history I have had a love for lobsters, and still do, but there is something about those round fluffy white creatures that I truly adore. Having a knitted one just seemed logical…why I don’t know, I myself am still searching for answers.

Not fully aware of the fact that she was going to take this on, she began the baby seal knit! Within a matter of days the little fella was done and I was shocked to see him in her possession. She posted a picture on her Facebook Page, and was quickly flooded with requests for seals. SEAL SALES GALLOR! You can feel good too by purchasing Craftybunny’s seals as every $2 from each sale gets donated to the World Wildlife Fund. I took this picture of my new seal buddy to share but you can view more at
