Evil Candle
So after weird blue Derick I started to crochet with some yellow yarn and my girlfriend looked and said that it looked like a flame so spurned on by this I created a Evil Candle.
3.5 hook with cotton aran yarn
This was made as i was attempting to crochet the mouth instead of using felt.
