Crocheted Camel

I finished a Crocheted Camel yesterday. That makes eight so far from Vanessa Mooncie's book Crocheted Wild Animals. I followed the pattern as written changing only the yarn and expression on its face. I picked yarn from my stash using three different shades of beige for this camel. 

One of my favourite parts of the process, aside from taking photos and figuring out what to say, involves joining the pieces and sewing the face to make it look adorable. Crochet sculpture ... a fun creative outlet. 

I love how you can transform a pile of parts into a cheery Crocheted Camel with just stitches and a teeny tiny bit of magic. 

I found a few camel photos online to show how this camel compares to the real thing. Take a look and let me know what you think.
