Cuddlies

I’ve finally gotten a day when I’m at home during daylight hours, and it’s a miserable misty grey day. But I did not want to wait any longer to photograph my latest cuddlies. I’ve been crocheting again and here are the results:

Plushie

I started with a pointy nose and my idea’s about what kind of animal/creature it would be changed at least four times during the making of it. That’s probably why I don’t really know what it is. Crochet with cotton yarn, glass bead eyes, felt pouch and ears (sewn on) and cute buttons to attach the limbs). In the pouch is a turnip-looking thingy. (It has a pouch, so something needed to be in it.)

Lil' Octo

You might recall this octopus, well it just got a little sibling. It’s smaller and I really like how this one turned out. I’m thinking about making some more in different colours to give as gifts or something. Crocheted with hooked spaghetti, felt and googly eyes.

Crochety things

I’ve finished the ripple blankie I wrote about earlier:

Blankies new home

It’s currently living on my couch, but it’ll probably move about my apartment regularly. I’m thinking about making a really large blanket using a pattern from the book Cute & Easy Crochet by Nicki Trench, but the amount of yarn needed is a bit daunting. So I’ve started off with a little project from the book using left over yarn:

Little purse

It’s a little floral purse! I’ve done some things differently like not putting in a fabric lining (I have no experience with sewing fabrics) and I think it works. I’m using it now to keep all my loose buttons in, and I’m thinking about making an other one for the little bits of other sewing supplies I do have.
