Happy belated Presidents Day to the ever amazing ~comic-chic! :heart:

Say hello to Mr. Jefferson! - or more commonly known as the third president of the United States of America, or more affectionately known as "TJ."

Mr. Jefferson is sporting a removeable jacket with classy 18th century buttons, a silk tie made with a horseshoe knitting stitch, powdered hair with a hair bow, and a nice seed stitch vest! He has been THE MOST complicated amigurumi I have made to date, and he's been SO FUN!!! :D *pets hair*

This amigurumi has also had a lot of silly conversations around it! This is from ~comic-chic -->

"So... I showed Mike the TJ pics you sent me yesterday and... Okay best response ever. It was an instantaneous, gutteral belly laugh and he literally threw himself back in his chair laughing.

He couldn't stop laughing and when he finally did I said, "What did you expect?"

He said "I don't know... you kept saying a knitted Thomas Jefferson."

I said, "Yeah, that's what it is."

He said, "But this... this is fantastic.""


:star:

And a customer saw me sewing him on Monday, asked me who I was knitting, and when I told her, she asked me "Who's Thomas Jefferson?" *slaps forhead*

:star:

~Edme made me this, too!!! Isn't it hilarious!??! [link]




...and that far away look in his eye? Yeah, he's looking for a free and independent country...

Mr. Jefferson now lives with ~comic-chic

I don't know the meaning of the word "surrender". I mean, I know it, I'm not dumb... just not in this context.

I'm a doctor, not an escalator.

LOL!!! Thanks hon!!! :D *dies* OMG, it was like, when I heard that that's what she wanted to do as an art trade, I was just like "HOLY SHIT REALLY!?!?!?!?" :D :D :D :D :D It was just perhaps the most original idea I've heard of!

One thing, unfortunately is wrong here. The buttons are on the wrong side of the coat. Like on a lady's coat. Traditionally men wear them on their right side, so that they could easily tear the coat off with their left hand in case there was a shooting duel between two of them :).

I seeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! O___O! Well... I suppose that missed my notice! ^^; Which is sort of sad, thinking of how many pictures of 18th century men I was looking at... *dies* But that's interesting! Is that really why they're on the other side???

Well! Unfortunately the damage is done! He was mailed out this morning!
