“happy as a clam”?
When I finished these guys, my daughter said, “So much for happy as a clam! He looks so sad!”
That he does. It’s a good thing that he has a friend to comfort him!
These two were made from Crafty Alien’s “Surf’s Up” collection. I left the little pearl inside the clam loose so that I can change his look a bit every now and then. On this particular day, he was kind of bummed out. I’m not sure when he’ll be feeling more chipper. Maybe on a Friday!

Oh my, I love that clam! Those sad eyes peeking out are too much. That octopus is awfully sweet too.

No wonder your clam is unhappy. He is about to be eaten by an octopus!!!!

So cute! The clam does look a bit sad, but then, life is probably boring when you’re a clam. Friday, though… maybe this is a party clam?

The clam can look happier if you let him stick his neck up a little (and raise his eyes). I know, he doesnt have a neck. [Its an imaginary neck.]

They’re both great! I still haven’t knit anything from her Surf’s Up collection, but it is definitely on my to-do list! To me the octopus looks hungry, and the clam looks worried…

LOVE them! Are you working on a lobster next? I’ll make a clam this week to send to a friend — you can let yours know he isn’t alone in the world and maybe he’ll cheer up. I think the ‘pus looks like he’s trying to console the clam, not eat him!

It was so nice to meet you this evening at knit night.
I totally love these little clams.
