ALL OF THIS DEER CAN BE YOURS!
November 22nd, 2011 § 23 Comments
I may not be a “people person”, but here is a tip-ola: if you are going to attempt to associate with other persons, it’s a mega bonus if they happen to be some crafty bastards.
Exhibit A: Hola Dear Deer
This doe duo are a pair of sister stitchers who chant “straight lines are for squares” while toiling away at their sewing machines to conjure up business card holders, pouches, totes, and what ever else the fabric (vintage!) so desires. They’ve helped in crafting Obey Crochet yarnbombing kits, proudly sported rub on tattoos (hello hook universe, they are still available!) for the Obey cause, and I am glad to call them homies. AND one of them hooks in her spare time! Quite the pair, quite the pair, indeed.
These dear deers have started out in a crafty Etsyian adventure and have so generously given me a handmade goodie to help a hooker out. You can also follow some deer family escapades here. Did you say FREE?! Yes. Why, yes, I did.
Word on the street is stripes are sexy.
It’s a large, lined canvas tote made with vintage fabric and sturdy enough to stuff with all your hooks and a ton o’ yarn.
FYI, I love me some hookers, but I could have soooo easily kept this. E-A-S-I-L-Y. Instead, because I am super wicked ninja cool (and because I don’t want a hoof to the head from those deer), I went out, bought a butt load o’ yarn, and am giving it to you.
Why would I do this?! Wait, why am I doing this? Oh, yeah, to support the hooker cause, my crafty crusaders. The holidays have folks spending money on things that are un-crochet and in the midst of the madness I am pushing back, bulking your stash up and asking you to get on that amigurumi, granny square, potholder, monster, blanket project you have been putting off. Get hookin’!
HOW DO I WIN AND SPREAD THE LOVE OF HOOK FAR AND WIDE?
Leave a comment and tell me what’s your favorite Obey Crochet Comic so far. You can browse the selection here and here. A winner will be chosen Monday, the 28th, in the morn (I live in Texas!) after the turket slaughtering.
P.S. This blog remains sponsor free, powered by a single hook, a cubicle job, and the crazed love o’ crochet.
P.P.S. If you are disappointed I am not giving away deer, well I guess I can understand that but I heard they poop a lot.
Gracias Hola Dear Deer! Crochet all day, every day.

“Hookopotamus. Hooko for short.” For sure.
“Fondle You” is one of my personal faves!
Hi! My favorite so far is “Only child” because I feel so identificated with the hook. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite is a classic–it’s the blushing, hand-holding knitting needles with the scathing hooka line: “You guys are so codependent”. It works on a lot of levels. You rock!
No doubt, one of my faves is ‘Hipsters vs Grandmas. Grandmas win’. xDDDD
You rock!
My favorite is the Hooker Hooker. =)
mine is DEFINITELY the “what are you thankful for” that came out last week. “DID I SAY COFFEE?”
Skein and Bones! So true 🙂
Oh my gosh, hands down this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stoppin/6031368826/in/set-72157626593819391
This was the first drawing from Obey Crochet I had ever seen and I was cracking up. My friend (who knits) is the most bubbly, cheerful, kind of clingy dog person, and I’m the surly, sarcastic cat lover. It was just too perfect! 🙂
Seriously? I have to pick a favorite? And then you might give me a pretty bag and yarn? If you insist – I like “Useful things” most. That is exactly why I chose to learn crochet.
I love “speakingg knit”!
do i have to pick just one? I LURVE THEM ALL. but i think ‘fondle’ is extra special: http://www.obeycrochet.com/2011/07/fondle/
Fondle You. I can imagine roaming thru yarn with my fingers. Ooooh, aaaah!
Definitely “The things I love hurt me.” I mostly crochet and browse Reddit, heavily, throughout the day and this comic is so true. It speaks to me.
I love the “Fuzzy Yarn Do you ever shave one”…NO heehee! cracks me up. but seriously, so hard to pick a fave! thanks for the giveaway!
I agree with Amber you really expect me to pick a favorite!!??
Oh if you insist… “Underdog”
yay! i love all your drawings and it’s a hard pick!
if i really have to say one: “son of a knitter”.
and thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Edward Hookhands. Deppinately!!!!
P.S.
agree that ’tis the season for crochet-neighbors are all getting homemade food gift baskets with crocheted wash cloths/potholders backed with fabric!
It’s so hard to pick! but I sooooo love Cat People vs Dog People!
I absolutely LOVE “Why don’t you make more useful things?” – it is so true! I think anything made out of yarn is useful – even if it doesn’t make the recipient happy, it made me happy to make it 🙂
“Stepdad” is my fave.
Ooh ooh, it might be Monday night here in Sydney, but I think I can still make it in…
I love ‘Why can’t you make more useful things?’
Awesome. Thanks.
