OT: Disgruntled Frog

Hello there!

I don’t know why I feel the need to post this, but I am going to anyway…

I knitted this guy that was supposed to be thank you gift for someone who came out and helped us at Girl Guides, but he was just so delightfully pissed off looking that I kept him for myself!

Since, he has become a mascot at our Dungeons and Dragons games and is generally adored for his disgruntled manor.

I made him a Twitter site just for fun!

What I am going to need, is suggestions of things he can be disgruntled about. Things I can take pics of around the house. Mainly cause DH won’t let me take pics of him in public til he has more than 20 followers on Twitter!

omg I love it!

Soooo Cute!!! I wanted the pattern but the site is no longer there. Bummer! Love him.

I think you can still download it from ravelry…

lack of water (sitting in tub, or sink?)

No flies. (sitting in front of a plate of scrumptious food)

Not being kermit - (staring at a picture of miss piggy)

He sure is CUTE!

How about drizzling balsamic vinegar on beige shorts?

Hee hee…not being Kermit…good one…

I was thinking I have find plastic flies…and have one taunt him…but the nice thing about disgruntled frog, is he can be disgruntled about everything…He may hate Mondays…but he doesn’t like any day of the week…He may hate it raining out, but he does like the sun either…smiles

Keep em coming…

maybe something knitting related–running out of yarn late at night, breaking a needle/cord, losing place in a complicated pattern, knots in yarn, moths, gosh, there are lots of these!!! linknit41

Hee hee…I likes!

heh, heh… he is pretty disgruntled looking - love him!

:thumbsup: OMG, he sure is cute! Makes me want to join Twitter just to get his following up.

Very cute blog for the frog! and you did such a great job knitting him - he’s adorable, even for a frog (which in my books just isnt’ all that cuddly…)
Have much fun with him!

I am pretty sure you can still look at it even if you aren’t signed up? Can anyone else confirm that?

But I see you are already following…so I will just…go find more things for Disgruntled frog to get all disgruntled about!

Disgruntled Frog Help…

well, he could stare at a “one sheet a day” calendar to express his mood for mondays.

He could stare out the window into the rain to show his mood about that.

A French Menue could seriously get him over the edge in his mood. Imagine what the serve…

He could look very disgruntled in no back-ground and be converted into pale black and white with some writing in plain font… what I am going at? Calvin Klein adds… The models look so sad / grumpy /lame on purpose all the time. He would be great at that.

I just LOVE the frog. Great Job! My husband likes it a lot, too. Give him a life and take him out…

I am not in Twitter and really don’t want to join, but I would follow him! Friends of ours have a facebook account for their dog - and it is SO fun!

Try the link…see if it works…

I have already done Mondays and Rain…smiles…I have been posting a pic a day and am trying to have at least 2 or 3 in reserve.

Oh I would love to take him out…and he is fine for friends houses and stuff…but anywhere too public…and DH gets a bit embarrassed of me…LOL…

the trick in public is to just pretend you are doing this for a profession / very seriously. People look at me strangely all the time when I take pics of odd things or details. I just give myself the aura of “I have stopped to care” and ignore. People get all shy to disturb then :smiley:

just take him to a park, set him onto a side of a fountain and make him happy for just once!

now I saw the pics, didn’t follow those links before…
cute idea and really entertaining for his followers!

I would need a much nicer camera for that winks

LOL - he DOES look pissed!! too funny! one of my pet peeves is slow drivers in the left lane! :smiley:

Owww good one…car isn’t public…I can do that one!

I would need a much nicer camera for that winks


THAT is a point, I have a DSLR, that helps.
