I have been feeling very crafty lately, almost overwhelmingly crafty. I have been sewing skirts, making baby leg warmers and embroidering burp cloths for my sister’s impending baby girl. So when my birthday came around last week, it’s no surprise that all of my gift were crafty things. My lovely sister, Jessi, gave me “Amigurumi Two” by Ana Paula Rimoli. And while I know her gesture was out of pure love, it also came with the hope of some Amigurumi (the Japanese art of crocheting small animals) for their little one. You see Jessi and her husband are expecting their first baby something in early November (making me an Auntie for the first time!!!!!) and they share a love for kitschy woodland creatures. I am SO willing to oblige…
I have been working like mad, my hands cramping up when I finally go to bed at night. But I have found my calling in life: To make whimsical wonders out of yarn.
Ok not really, but I am enjoying myself!
Meet Lolie! The pattern that I used for her is “Olie’s baby” but I altered the pattern and D has been calling her Lolie, so it’s sticking!
These fellas are part of a three fella set. They still need their white spots and for the third fella to be crafted. They have bells in their caps! I adore them! I’m sure that my sister’s baby will love them as much as I do.
I love your lolie and mushrooms! Ok, you need to start selling them on Etsy... after you share them with the little ones. I can't wait to see the one you're going to do for Liam.
