Meet the adorable Ten Plagues characters that were crocheted when I should have been cleaning my studio, and now aforementioned studio needs a very quick clean up/box up as Passover is literally on our doorstep and everything must be ready by shabbat, phew! Okay, but honestly, this was a labor of love, that I sent with my daughter who is celebrating the holiday with extended family (waah.) There is an over the top pouch and a few more items that I'll share with you in another six months or so to get a start for next year. So my friends, while there surely isn't time to crochet amigurumi ten plagues characters this year, if you have a long plane or car trip you could fit in a drop of blood or some lice if you can make up a pattern as I did. (Will write up the pattern for next year, not to worry, it was a quick one.) At the least get some white pom poms to make hail, or as my son said, the hail should be orange as it is fiery hail, not regular hail, ah yes!
The main thing is to think about how to make the seder very memorable for the little ones, as their passing down of the tradition is the whole point of the seder. No little ones at the seder this year, like us? Indulge the inner child who may not have had memorable seders like you'd make! I have honestly gone over the top with indulging my inner child with this crochet project, so i think we're good to go! (Not to mention another huge labor of love, the new Maileg style dollhouse I've put together – using a tall vintage metal cabinet – for little ones coming later in the week, stay tuned for that!)
