I took a long hiatus from LJ and one from crochet, too. Here's about a third of what I've accomplished over the past year. It's hard to keep up when you're tear-assing after an almost four year old and an 18 month old!

( owl, cat, aliens... )

The owl I did for a daughter of a friend. I made her other daughter a panda and a monkey for her son but this one was my favorite. The kitty I did for my niece's birthday last year and the little teacup aliens were just for fun.

And even more photos in the gallery. =)

oh! I did a llama and a cow, too, for this Christmas. I will have to find those photos and make another post.

I made my husband a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle for Christmas. It's Donatello which is his favorite. It was really hard to get it finished without him seeing it, but he really liked it.

Hello people!

Merry Christmas to those who's celebrating it these days And I just wanted to share some pain with you, muahahaha

I've been making lots of toys as New Year presents & in the end I've started coughing. I haven't got any cold or infection, nothing hurts & the throat is fine, so I'm guessing this coughing is from tiny particles of yarn & fiberfill I've inhaled. Doesn't bother me much, but still it is unpleasant. Lol, I feel almost like a cat: gonna spit out balls of hair soon.

So if you're making something big or something small but in big quantity, consider wearing a mask. I know it sounds ridiculous: wearing a mask while making toys, but coughing isn't fun at all.

Anyway, wish you all good & healthy New Year & no "productional injuries" at all!

( More Christmas amigurumi here... )

Since I posted here last time I've made some new toys. I hope you'll like them :)

( 7 photos and 8 toys )

Just showing off, I made this last night while my boyfriend was being very very ill. I had to stay up to look after him anyway so i thought i might as well do something constructive. I used a pattern i found on the net but adapted the tail part. hope you all like.

More under the cut!

(  chilly polar bear ahoy! )

I started crocheting about two weeks ago now, and finished my first amigurumi yesterday... Yoda from star wars, a gift to the boyfriend for christmas. :)

I also have a question. When making amigurumi, how do you crochet the head and body to be the same part, rather than creating each piece seperately and then stitching them together? I tried doing decreases and increases without a pattern, but it didn't work out so well!

This is my second completed amigurumi project. I’m pretty happy with it. I’ll be giving it to my aunt for Christmas. Ravelry Project.

( Snitch... )

Hi everyone, I'm new to the community. I've been crocheting for years and got really into amigurumi recently and have just begun selling them on etsy. Here's a few of my projects:

Hi! I just found WLA and I'm sooooooo happy I did! The stuff yall do is AMAZING!  Anyway, these are a few of the first Amigurumis I've made. Enjoy! Those are the first ones I've made. Here's a little elephant that wasn't included in the group shot.

So, I've decided to give my old Kero design an updated look, since I now know a lot more about crocheting than when I originally made his design. I was messing around with the legs. Previously, they were just little nubs. Now, I'm trying to shape them like Kero's legs actually look. After much frogging, this is the final result. I'll post the finished Kero as soon as I'm done! ^_^ ( Pic + Pattern! )
