Yip Yip

 I took a break from the big crocheting project I have been working on for church and decided to crochet something funny. 


How many of you grew up watching Sesame Street?


I do not remember watching sesame street when I was young. I was more of a Captain Kangaroo and muppets kid. I’m not sure why mom never turned the channel to Sesame Street. Maybe it was because we couldn’t get that channel. I don’t know.


I was a little older when I watched Sesame Street though I always knew who Big Bird, Ernie and Cookie Monster was. Then there were these little martians called “Yip Yip’s” they were another Sesame Street favorite. They were usually in a pair and would get started saying “yip yip” and couldn’t stop. 





I thought they were funny so I decided to crochet one to see if I could. 




The result was good. It made me laugh. I had a little fun with it then I took some photos and gave the yip yip to my sister. It can be used to hold a small plant or little trinkets. 


What shows did you watch as a child? 
What was one your favorite characters?
