So I purchased these 'ceramic muppet figurines' earlier this week and cannot seem to figure out what exactly they are or where they came from. I'm aware there were little plaster figures to paint that were sold in the 80s(?), but these don't look quite like those. This Kermit is sitting on a box it seems, and the ones originally sold has him sitting on a tree stump. Does anyone know what these could be? My only other guess is that they are handmade

I ordered an item a couple of weeks ago, seller took a few days longer to ship it out (which is fine), but USPS is really confusing me. At first it said the expected delivery was Friday, but it never said it was out for delivery. Now it's saying it's expected today but it still isn't actually out for delivery.

And normally when I check tracking it says what distribution center it's at but this time it doesn't. And it hasn't updated in over 24 hours. Should I expect it to arrive on Monday or will it take longer?

So I'm not entirely new to crochet. I started off doing amigurumi a year ago and haven't done anything else. But I really want to make a blanket, and figured granny squares might be the way to go.

I have tried a few granny square patterns and they are pretty easy for me. But what I need help with is figuring out what pattern to use for what I want to make and how much yarn I'd need to buy.

I've attached the picture I'm basing this project off of. It would essentially be solid colored granny squares sewn together to make a blanket. I'm going to change the colors (Kermit s collar isn't the right color and I want a light blue background).

I want to make the squares about 2-3 inches in length/height, and I want to use Bernat Super Value acrylic. But if anyone has any other recommendations on yarn I'd love to hear it. I am on a budget so it has to be acrylic that is either easy to find in stores or super cheap to get online. Good color options are a plus too.

So basically I need help finding a pattern for granny squares that would work for what I want to do and help figuring out how much yarn I'd have to buy as I'm worried I won't be able to get the same dye lot if I have to buy more than originally.

I am currently wanting to crochet Fozzie Bear but I'm struggling to find a yarn that would suit him. The pattern I'm using (from Drew Hill's Muppets Amigurumi book) calls for weight 4 acrylic yarn, but I want to try to make him look furry. I'm just struggling to find a yarn that is the right color, weight, AND the right texture.

I'm from the US and would like to avoid any tariffs, and I'm also on a bit of a budget. I don't want to spend more than $20 for just the fur yarn.

I am trying to follow this pattern I found on Etsy, and I'm pretty sure I'm following it correctly but the back legs and tail are not lining up. I seem to have a lot of stitches left over in the round than what the pattern says. Am I doing something wrong or is the pattern incorrect?

I am currently trying to work on the Rizzo The Rat Pattern from Drew Hill's Muppets amigurumi book, and can't seem to figure out this step. From the photos it seems like the mouth isn't a full circle but when I follow the pattern that's what I get. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

Does anyone have the pattern for this kit? I found a post on ravelry but the link no longer works. I'd rather not buy the whole kit when I can just buy the yarn myself.
