Short YoP Update

Hello! This will be a very short update since I don't have too much progress to show.. Of my YoP list items I only worked on Sweet Scarf of Mine.

It's nearly finished and I really like the randomness of the stripes.. I only have to finish the tassels/fringe to it. I already finished on one side, but I think they're too short. So I'll have to redo them. I'm excited that I can almost wear it!

Hey Cuties!

Hey Cuties! That's the name of this FO:

These cuties were not on my YoP list, but when I saw the pattern I knew I just had to make one. And when I finished the first pink cutie, I just had to make another one! So there they are, a couple of cuties.. I'm curious how they're both made with the same hook and yarn, yet the green cutie is slightly smaller/shorter than the pink one.. Is it the stuffing then?

FO Friday - A Bunny!

I finally did it! I assembled the pieces of the long lost (hibernating) amigurumi and finished it!
Without further ado, I would like to introduce you to Tinkerbunny!

I think she's one sassy lady! More pictures here! Have a lovely weekend!

WiP WednesDay!

Happy Wednesday! I'm so happy we're halfway through the week. Last couple of days have been a bit chaotic and I'm hopeful that from tomorrow, life will be a bit more mellow..

Since I last blogged about my "beanie-block", I decided to just give it a go. I just picked a pattern and I started hooking! And with some bulky yarn and a 10mm hook, it's working up fast!

 

Sorry about the blank-face pic, but I really didn't like the ones where I was smiling.. Let's move on quickly!

Floating between winter and spring...

Does anyone else have that feeling that, on the one hand you're still enjoying Winter but on the other hand you wouldn't mind if Spring would come along? I'm still loving the scarfs, mittens, boots, sweaters and hot chocolate, but I would love to see the trees and flowers grow and sprout, and have baby bunnies and ducklings roaming around again!

Last week I summoned up the courage to start another pillowcase project, and I found a pattern that would hopefully match better with the Chevron Winter blanket.. I figured if I didn't start soon, I'd postpone it untill next winter.. So here's the progress so far...

I'm positive this will be a better match than the Puzzly Pillow I frogged 2weeks ago, though it's coming out much smaller than I'd imagined so I might have to be creative how it'll fit around a pillow.. I might have to make another square or sew the back? Anybody have ideas?

I finished the granny blanket last week as well! I just love how easy and fast those granny blankets work up! I especially liked this color combo, it really reminded me of Spring! (and some of you guys too! Yay!) 

 

So since then I've been in the 'Spring-mood' so to speak.. I want flowers in the house and Spring cleaning and colors and singing birds and all that! Then again, am I ready to not snuggle up under a blanket? Am I ready to not put on boots and not drink hot chocolates? Mmmmmmm...

Happy Apples & Colorful Ghosts

Happy FO Friday everyone! I'm still feeding my addiction on the little Innocent hats. Wanted to show you my happy apples, and my colorful ghosts! Oh and don't forget to enter my give away!

These little Innocent hats....

Little Miss Impulse

Hey everybody! Hope you're having a great weekend! I'm not really sure what happened this week, but somehow, since last week, I made:

Toys for Nala:

Catnip Ball and it's friend!

My friend has some adorable cats! I decided to make some catnip toys for her.. I had never made anything like it, so it was kind of an experiment! I just took my crochet hooks, used this pattern and when stuffing it I put some catnip (which I stole from her!) inside as well!



I made several sizes since, and gave the toys to her.

She then sent me this video of how one of her furry babies reacted to it!

I get so happy looking at him! It makes me want to make a catnip toy for all kitties I know! Have you ever made catnip toys? What pattern is your favourite?

Isn´t life sweet..

The other day I made this cotton candy bally for a friend of mine:

But I never dared to expect such a lovely reaction from her. She said nothing at first but just gave me the biggest hug! So sweet! Isn´t life sweet? I think it is!

Here´s the pattern link! (free!)

Little baby Uglee

When I first saw Baby Uglee I thought OMG how cute!!!

And because the pattern was available, I thought "I wanna make one myself!"

Here's my "Cheeky Baby Uglee":

I wanna make some more!!!

Mollie & Wuppie!

Well, I finished the 2nd kitty.. So now they can play together!

They make me smile, the little rascals!

Pattern available here!

"I’m cute, and I’m gonna get ya!"

That's what somebody said when she saw my first finished kitty:

I'm making two of these, one lighter pink and one darker pink. And I named them after the cats of my boyfriend (R.I.P) Mollie and Wuppie.. And this is Mollie..

Hope her sis will be just as sweet!

I'm a little nutty!

My first swap package unfortunately did not get a claim, so I had to come up with another offer..

So I made this "Im a little nutty-project bag"!

And it got claimed! Hooray!

You can make one yourself if you like to crochet, find the pattern here!

Legendary Amigurumi Movie!

Rilakkuma of Amigurumi! Wow! What work it must have been to make this short movie!

I found this movie on the blog of Vintage Nettles.. Really cool!!

My niece just turned 1! So I made this cute bunny for her..
