Geekgirl, those sloths are not amigurumi…they serve a purpose and are tiny and cute! I guess the amigurumi I like/dislike depend on who makes them for me. I love EVERYTHING you make for me!
I crocheted an octopus for hubby for Xmas, at his request, and I just don’t like making things that don’t serve a purpose. I was railing against it at every step. I also like things that are quick to make, immediate gratification.
Oh boy. So many things! I just finished a baby blanket. I’m actively working on a neckerchief and ear warmer set.
Those colors and patterns are so beautiful!
Today I am making a scarf out of scarfie. Then I have a shawl to finish. I am trying to organize myself to work though some of the yarn stash …give the yarn some space to breath, ya know? LOL
I am working on a WIP that was found in the sunroom at my grandparents house. My mum was clearing that out for my grandad so he could use the ramp from there into the backyard and found a disintegrated black rubbish bag full of yarn (which was is perfect condition despite the bag it was in having perished). She thought she’d ask me if I wanted it (and of course I said yes). I didn’t know what was in there when I said yes, but I found this inside!
I have not done any thread crochet in a long time it felt like, and I saw a cool pattern on Pinterest that I really liked - lwispweave snowflake
I have been making some of these lately - using a pretty Aunt Lydia variegated size 10 thread, lavender, and blue - oddly enough, I never thought about white.
I also like her other, similar design - The wispvale snowflake - so I may make that next

They are so lovely in those colors! I am glad she charted her snowflakes…it is a lot easier for me to work from a chart…one of her stitches looks like a tiny mouse…ha ha…looks like a fun pattern to use up the HUGE bag of crochet threads I inherited from my mom…
I can’t work off a graph if it has complex stitches - I am much better with the written rows. But check out her blog - she has some lovely snowflakes and I think I am going to make a few more of her designs.

I did check it out! I collect snowflake patterns…I dream of making enough to hang in my foyer during the “winter” months since we don’t get snow here…
I went to Good Will, oh probably a year ago, and was looking for thread yarn and regular yarn. I came out with a bag of twenty different crocheted snowflakes that only needed blocking! It was an amazing find that I’m hoping to put up in our windows this next winter!
These are for a charity named ‘Project Robby’. Each set consists of a blanket/hat/angel wings. The sets are donated to hospitals to give to parents of infants that were stillborn or born too early to live. The parents can use the sets to keep, to use for photos with their child, or to bury their child in. I plan on making the small ones you see and go up to the largest size they accept, and then starting again.
The original pattern also has some ‘salt’ stitched on, but I prefer an un- or slightly salted pretzel, personally. Also, my only brown yarn was pretty dark, so it’s a chocolate pretzel.
I’ve also been crocheting a bunch of baby hats. They’re probably what I get asked about most at markets/bazaars, and I never have any, so I’m stocking up now while my baby nephews are still perfectly-sized baby models.
Hi, my daughter’s birthday was Sunday. I am broke so decided to dig in the dusty craft closet and pick up the crochet hook again. Made her an Eevee (Pokémon) Amigurumi. Forgot how much I enjoy creating things.
