Hat

I made this hat  and I had to change everything about the pattern. The pattern was too small with one yarn so I did use two yarns. I still had to change the googles pattern it was way too small. I stitched the white line by hand. I had trouble doing it with the hook. The back is not that wonky let's hope it looks good on it is certainly warm hat for winter. I think I will add straps so he can tie it to his chin.

Funky Zebra

 I was suppose to make a tiger but by accident I turned the page to a zebra. I wasn't going to unpick all my hard work so here it is my funky zebra. It is the same pattern as the zebra from the same book. The colors changes them a bit. Now I have to make the tiger.

I have posted the picture of the zebra too so you can see how striking it looks when you use different color yarn.

Black and white Zebra

I made this Zebra from the book Edward's Menagerie. My youngest daughter gave it to me for Christmas. I only did one thing and I decided to make more. It is hard to work with black wool but it does look nicer. This toy is safe for younger kids and the eyes have been embroidered. I enjoyed making it. The mane is different it doesn't explain how so I made up my own. It looks better and also the tail I couldn't understand what he meant.

Bug from a movie

I made this bug because I liked how it looks but my daughter said it is from a movie. The lady that shared it did a very good job with it. I liked how she did the lines but she doesn't explain how. I think this pattern is in Spanish language. I tried to contact her but she didn't reply I got sick of waiting so I gave it a go. I liked the way hers sits. You can have a look I posted her website where I got the pattern from. You should have a go I google translated it and I worked out cause I understand Italian.

My boy from Amigurumi BB

I made this boy from the free pattern of Amigurumi BB. I used metal joints because I wanted it to be stronger. I was more happy with making the girl then the boy, why, I think I hate to make the same pattern twice. I made a large mouth thinking it would be smiling but I had to unpick it as I thought it was way too large as you can see from the photos. I tried to make tips in the boy's hair. I think I better stick to making animals dolls are harder. I think the girl came prettier. Anyway if you like to give it a go it is not really that hard to follow the pattern. Vanja the lady that did this pattern explain it very well. Good luck!

Amigurumi to go Elephants

Aren't these elephants as cute as? The large elephant is one of the first ones, I made. I was so happy with the result.Then my youngest daughter saw it and wanted me to make her one. I made a smaller one for her. Actually it is the same pattern the larger one is done with two yarns and the smaller one with one yarn. I found this pattern from Sharon Ojala. She has lots of free patterns and cute ones too. I need to make the sock monkey I did the other monkey that she has as well. She has the videos to follow with her patterns it is great for beginners. I keep trying to challenge myself into making more difficult ones. So why don't you give it a go it is fun and rewarding seeing the toy that you just made.

Kitty cat

I wanted to make this cat again. I made one like this in brown and had closed eyes. This one has bendable legs and longer too. I put a rattle inside since my youngest daughter wants it. Those paintings my middle daughter did them, how good is she! Not even if I try hard I wouldn't be able to paint them. You know when they were very young, I used to draw things for them and they had to guess what it was. They ate this way with out problems. They say whatever you introduce to kids before three of  age they will grow up doing it. Well I don't know if that's true but all my kids are artists in their own way. My eldest daughter painted all her paintings to decorate her house. I would say she was the least interested and she did the most paintings. My eldest daughter has a professional job. The other two are graphic designers. The put their work on Red bubble and one of their item was in gallery here in Melbourne.
