Crochet skirts

I love these skirts and not as hard to make. The lady is majovel on you tube. She is excellent in showing her knowledge. I have a shop on etsy so these will be good for twins. The white skirt is made in cotton. The blue one a mixture of half blends. It is a lovely skirt for winter.

Crochet orange dress

I had bought some orange cotton yarn and I thought it would be enough to make a dress. I liked this dress. It has a button at the back making it easy to put it on. It is from a free you tube that I used before. It is an easy dress to make. It is for a three month old baby girl. I am glad to finish the yarn but I keep buying more. Just spent $50 worth of yarn, this way, I will never run out . what an addiction hobby. If you only knew how much I loved sewing before liking crochet. Now I can't stand sewing. I think it is not possible to like two things. It is one thing at a time.

Crochet blue dress

I crocheted this dress because I had the wool and I wanted to use it as always. Two balls it needs to make this dress. It is a free pattern and not joining anywhere which is great. Simple enough not to use your brain. This is the back of the dress I wanted the slip stitch to be straight it was tricky and I'm sure there is a simple way for the learned ones. I am fairly pleased with the ends results.

lovely crochet girl's ruffle skirt

I made this lovely girl's ruffle skirt from a free video too. You need to read diagram to follow this skirt as the lady doesn't show you all the way till finish. I love this skirt and I am making another one. I used 4 ply yarn, half nylon and half acrylic yarn. I don't have anyone to try it on, pity, I would have like to see how it looks. Strange, I seem to be making girls stuff, though I have grandsons. I had girls so I am more confident with girls stuff. I still need to put buttons on the band, so not yet completely finished. I didn't want to go to the shop just for buttons. This one you might find it hard to make the ruffles it was ok for me. I wouldn't used 8 ply acrylic yarn for this.  I added an extra ruffle for mine as I saw it small. I am very, very pleased with this skirt.

Crochet socks

I came across these socks by an Italian lady I think she is Oana she has a you tube video of these socks. I was impressed and wanted to have a go at making them. No joining anywhere that is a win for me. I used 5 ply acrylic, I made one sock but in between I made an order that had to be shipped so it was a week maybe after I made the other one. I did it by memory and I did a shorter row. I just thought it would come in handy the way the heel is done for amigurumi. I don't think I will make socks again since they never came perfect lol. If I did it in the same day they would have turned out much better. I like the right side sock. When you put them side by side they look ok. Hope yours turn out ok if you give these a try. Good luck.

Amigurumi toys

I saw these lovely free patterns and I had to make them. The dog is not small but he is a cute dog. I like how it turned out. I made his overalls myself not from a patterns but the lady has overalls too. She has another type of dog and a cat. I simple loved this dog so I just made him for now. I might make them later. It is from amigurumi today If I'm not mistaken. I also made this teddy, he is tiny but the colour I've used is not as nice. They use different yarn to make this small teddy but I think it is not strong enough. I thought it was cute. I am very selective in what I make I have to like them. It is also a free pattern but I'm afraid this one is in different language. I don't put wires and safety eyes in my toys lately. I don't know what I touched to make it in italics. Here are the pictures of them.

Amigurumi dinosaurs

I will tell you how I came to make these dinosaur. I work outside and the weather was overcast so I had an umbrella with me and since it was windy I was looking for a place to put it . Where I work there are construction guys and are working on the road and traffic lights. There was a pipe stuck up and I put my umbrella there not knowing how deep it was. It was for the traffic lights. I was worried for those boys that will come and work there so I told someone about the umbrella being in there. He asked me where and he tried with his hands then stick then he went and got some wire from his car. I was at my work when I heard thank you behind me and voila it was my umbrella thanked him. That day ended up that way. when I saw him next I asked him whattype of beer he liked cause I owed him a couple he said "no don't want any" so I asked him if he had any kids he told me yes he had two boys. I said what do they like he told me dinosaurs. I told him I will see what I can do. i looked for some dinosaur patterns and in the meantime I made them both a beanie which they liked and wore. I still felt that I should make them dinosaurs any way  found these And I made them. The guy was so pleased I bet more then his boys he made me laugh he thanks me so many times. I felt great giving these dinos away when I made someone very happy. that is how and why I done them. My eldest daughter liked the brontosaur for her youngest. since then I made 3 long neck and 2 triceratops.  There is a way not to sew the legs so I did that. You pick up the exact stitches from the body. Ever for the horns I did that. They are free patterns from pinterest. long neck has a tutorial as well I didn't need it.
