Just finished these…

Made these for a co-worker.

I finished crocheting, this one, Mike the monkey.

Made these for a co-worker.

I finished this Angle, I used this pattern for the wings and did the rest without a pattern.

I was inspired by this crochet angle.

I just finished this unicorn, using a free pattern, jazzy the unicorn.

Very happy with the result and it is definitely one of my favorite patterns so far.

A friend of mine asked me if I could crochet a nisse (a brownie or a hob) for her, and she showed me a picture of the one that she had in mind.
I liked the challenge of trying to figure it out, without having a pattern, so I sat down and began working on figuring out the pattern, kind of fun. After many, many, many trials and errors, I finally, got the form I wanted and I am pleased with the final result.

I found a few other pictures to use as inspiration, this one, and these.

We have a door stopper, the rubber around was old it fell off and is no more…

so my husband suggested that I crochet a cover for it, to have something softer for the door to land on but also look good. I loved the idea, so I made the decision to make a sunflower, as I love them, they are so pretty…

I had no pattern, so for the sunflower I used this YouTube video as an guide (adjusting it to fit the size I needed) and the rest I did some trial and errors until I got the perfect fit.

SunFlower, door stopper cover, pattern:

I wanted to learn to crochet Crocodile stitch, so I went on YouTube and found a tutorial on a bag I liked and went for it. Found the strap on another tutorial and added that one to the bag instead.

First I used this video to learn how to do this and get the general idea.

For the bag I used this video
(did one alteration to the base of the bag, to make it match, I did 1 DC in one of the 7 stitches at the end and 2 DC in the rest of them on each side).

Then for the strap I used this video, it begins at 25 min and 50 sec.

I found a website with these cute bookmarks…
I did want to learn how to crochet flowers and of course you can never have too few bookmarks, so it was perfect to try this out.

So, here are few more five nights at Freddy’s amigurimi, Foxy and Chica, both boys were happy with them.
It is so much fun and wonderful feeling to make these for my boys and see them be so happy with them and also coming with more requests for stuff for me to make for them… It is kinda fun!

Ran out of blue textile marker but my son used one of his blue markers to finish it off…

Just finished this one, using the pattern from this website!

And this time it was made for my husband… When I am working nights, he has a Baymax to take care of him. 🙂
