Toys for Friends

As I mentioned, I was making my friends all little keychain sized (or not) amigurumi animals, and now I have it more figured out. So, update (I also edited their names, so don't bother to figure it out yet):

Amelia was given a roly poly cat

I am almost finished with Wendy's snail,

Skye is getting a purple monkey still,

Cynthia is still undecided, because she is my twin, probably a penguin, or a hedgehog,

Henrietta is getting either a heart, or an eighth note, or both together,

and finally Annie is getting either a Yoda doll, or a dress.

Thanks for reading my kinda-not-exciting-posts so far, for anyone who actually does read it, and don't forget to leave your comments :) ,

*Note*
These amigurumi pieces are not mine, after that snail. :)

I've been busy crocheting

I'm planning on making a weather mobile, maybe more like a universe mobile, and it has three layers: the top has a sun, a moon, and a star; the middle has a white and a gray (bluish) cloud, and maybe a rainbow, or not; the bottom has a raindrop, a lightning bolt, and a bird. I contemplated a snowflake, but no. A bird.
This is what I have done:


Um... the pictures don't want to load. I will try again later. I made up all the patterns except the cloud, which i may remake. Ask for any pattern.

there we go.

I am also crocheting all my friends mini amigurumi keychains, just because. I am giving them all screen names:
For Wanda, I made a snail. It's the only one I started. (I kinda sorta based it off the idea of this one: http://happyamigurumi.blogspot.com/2011/06/crocheted-amigurumi-sheepmouton.html)

Henrietta is getting a heart (maybe this one if I figure it out: http://mygurumi.blogspot.com/2009/02/pop-heart-pattern.html)

Skye is getting a purple monkey (probably my earlier-mentioned pattern),

I'm making Sarah a turtle, Cynthia an... i don't know (she's my twin), and Barbara a little dress, maybe?(she likes fashion and stuff.)

I guess I have to make myself something... Meh. The mobile. :)
Sorry for such a long post,
M.

Friendly Stalkers :)

So my friend sent this lovely creature after me to stalk me after I said I was stalking her via email, and so I set off to create one for myself. I present you with a crab made from keyboard characters!
Comment and let me know which you like best!

Puffballs and Such

So, I was going to create a puffball with wings, but it turned out to be a puffball with a pom pom on her head. Her name is Tommiie. Don't ask why. :)
Anyway... Here she is.

With a head of hair...

...And with a complete furry... aura.

I am also working on a weather mobile, which I will explain in my next post, along with a bunch of patterns. Oh, here is the pattern for this puffy creature (or a large hackysack :D):

Tommiie the furry puffball

You will need a crochet hook (I used an F hook, and crocheted tightly)

And a round marker (to mark the end of rounds, a paper clip or safety pin, etc. works)

And yarn, normal and furry.

 And a brain, and eyes, and stuff. :)

Ch 4, join with sl st

1.       Sc 6 into 2^nd ch from hook

2.       2 sc in ea around (12)

20.   Fasten off and weave in end (or not, I don’t bother), you’re done! Well, with the base.

21.   Then, I took orange super soft fuzzy stuff, and crocheted around the outside, and skipped a row for the eyes, and ended like two thirds down or something.

22.   My sister embroidered little carat (or however you spell that) (^  ^) eyes onto it.

23.   Don’t forget to make a small pom pom and sew it to its head (if it’s a girl, or think of something better, if it’s a guy. Or make up wings.)

Please leave a comment with a picture if you try it!

Oh yeah, and feel free to leave comments on what I should crochet, I never have any idea what to make. Chances are, I will try it.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
--Matthew 5:14
