Tiny cat (amigurumi)

Hi I came across to this cute cat and I was wondering how small it was. You will never know that till you make it so I did mine. I expected it to be smaller but it is ok I guess. It measures 6 inches. I used different yarn I think it is called mohair I was given this yarn. A good way to use mohair.  I found myself making toys again. I hate the sewing part only because sometimes the legs and hands don' t come attached the way you want them to. Toys are fun to make when you see them all done it is a good achievement. It is like art when you finish painting the piece and see the final result. It is always hard to part from them I think because I put so much care, love into them. I brushed it to look like this not good for kids as it has a small button. Be always aware of those little things.

Handmade Crochet Girl's sweater

I just love making these sweaters. They are so easy and they look so cute. I made these with 5 ply acrylic yarn. Easy free pattern from bernat and there is a you tube video instruction. I also love the combinations I used. The trouble with these are you need to be careful with the sleeves as to not loose stitches. I need to figure a way to also make the joining part straight somehow it comes slanting. I embroidered the eyes because buttons are choking hazards. I also put buttons at the back cause I saw the neck circumference small. I was saying about hazards but hopefully at the back is quite safe. still it is a nice project to make.

Crochet sweater

I had yarn and wanted to use it so I searched for something that I can do. I came across this beautiful sweater. There is also a video on you tube I think it is by Bernat yarn. I love the fact there there is something on the front. I like the combination of colours. It is really not hard to make if you can you can follow the video as well. This is made in 5 ply yarn I usually like to use 8 ply yarn. It is very useful to make it for kids. I thought the opening for the head is small so I did an opening at the back. You can alter how you please once you understand how it is done. I still have to attach the buttons on I bought them already.

Cute toys

I made these for my etsy store I like to have variety of choices for all different ages. I liked making these toys and it was my own pattern. I can never write a pattern because when I see how people wrote their pattern looks rather complicated. You can tell they all different sizes I just make it as it comes I only count the amount of rows I did for the legs and arms. I make their clothes to fit each one. They are all cute and special, I hate to part from them. I put so much love into them. If someone else gets to enjoy them as much as I loved making them it is good enough for me.

Cat and Elephant bags

I thought of making these shapes of bags for teenagers. The pictures I have are a little too big, I reckon, so I think that they are good for adults especially the tote bag. I am making another different one I think it won't be for teenagers either. I think it will be the same size as the cat's bag. I am enjoying making them. I still have to come up with the right measurements though. I wanted to introduce another colour in the back ground but I changed my mind. You do use a lot of yarn for making these bags but the result is amazing. Here are the pictures of the bags.
