Hey everyone! It’s Andy. And this here is my fried egg. He’s feeling a bit iffy about being on display. With lots of encouragement, though, he seems to be keeping it together and even managing a little smile. He might be a bit nervous still from some of the not very nice things I was saying while making him. I tend to be a bit… full body contact… with my knitting. I’ve broken needles. And yarn. But all that was before he had a face. Anyway, I have finally gotten back into my briefcase with all my needles and yarn after a pretty long break. Maybe I’ll pull all the stuff I have been making for the baby (we’re still waiting to be chosen, no word yet) and take a bunch of pics of them. Pretty much the classics. Fried eggs. Socks. In Bears and Cubs and winter-woods-walk colors. I am currently working on my own pattern for a set of French fries and sauces to go with my favorite food cart – Potato Champion. I’ll post it on Alicia’s Ravelry when I finish. Thank you.





you are the man....you are all that AND a bag of chips mr paulson and that fried egg is a whole lotta fun....i find it most appropriate that you knit.. food....we women are knitting cutesy sweaters, booties and scarves while you are knitting food. makes sense to me...you keep up the good work and keeping posting.

Wow! I didn't realize you were such a Renaissance man, Andy! I don't think Fried Egg Guy heard your disparaging remarks...no ears ;)

I think my cats would like Fried Egg Guy, too. Whether FEG would like being liked by my cats is entirely a different matter!

LOL - I am super impressed at your creation, Andy - I cannot sew one stitch or knit anything! You will need to give us a step-by-step tutorial, k?
Take care - have a great day!

Yay! Another Andy-post!
Looks like Fried Egg makes a great cat toy! Stuff him with catnip and you'll have hours of entertainment watching your kitties trip on nip!

This made my day! Thanks Andy. Oh, and how about some bacon while you're at it. I'd love a French fry pattern - and - a bacon pattern.

Who knew there were more than 900 patterns for toy food on Ravelry? And yes, there is a pattern for bacon.
