Jean Pierre the Seagull

A friend of mine, Andrea, asked if I could make a matched set of seagulls for her. I started my search and ended up with this pattern from the Blue Bobbin at Jean-pierre the Seagull Amigurumi Pattern Amigurumi Bird | Etsy. It was easy to work up and simple to tweak to customize them.

Mr. Turkey

In between projects, I saw this pattern for a little turkey. I had the yarn in my stash and with Thanksgiving just around the corner, whipped him out. He’s about 8″ across and a little under 6″ tall.

Christmas Slam Ball Covers

Santa Slam Ball Covers

Every year multiple people in this house get those little chocolate balls of orange flavored candy that you slam against something hard to break them apart. That’s how we ended up calling them “slam balls.” I saw someone made covers for them and they were adorable. She didn’t have an actual pattern, so I came up with one on my own. The candy “ball” slips in from the bottom and then it stands up from the flat side of the candy ball.

I didn’t notice it before, but the one in the green hat has his “dab” down just about perfect!!

Sloth on Branch

My friend, Carol, loves Sloths. She asked me if I could make a sloth for her. I looked through several different patterns and just didn’t like many of them. I finally settled on this version from Sloth Crochet Pattern by Mala Designs ® | Etsy.

The pattern called for an actual branch to glue the leaves on to. I did not have available, so I ended up taking a very stiff roller from a foil package and crocheted a cover for it to look like a branch. Then I attached the leaves to the “branch” and he ended up being at least 18″ tall. Me might even be a bit taller than that.

Thyme to Crochet Afghan

Thyme to Crochet Afghan

I saw this afghan scrolling through my Facebook feed multiple times and it caught my eye every single time. It’s made in squares and then sewn together. I’d never done any “blocking” and learned to do that making this afghan.

I made this afghan five squares by six squares out of Caron One Pound worsted weight yarn in Medium Grey. My daughter, Korinna, loved it and promptly laid claim to it!

My mom called one day and asked if I could make her a small pouch to carry her cell phone in that would hang around her neck. She sometimes has trouble hearing it ring when it’s in her pocket so she thought if it was closer to her head she would hear it better. She loves it and wants me to make her some more in different colors! I made this one out of Bernat Blanket yarn so it’s very soft against your skin.
