miniature schnauzer puppy

April 10, 2008 @ 5:19 pm · Filed under: Crochet

I found some interesting yarn while I was in the UK last week – it’s actually the same yarn that wibit uses for a lot of her lovely designs. I decided to try it out with one of my AmiDogs patterns and see what happened… Click for bigger pic It’s like magic, really. Any guesses […]

daffodils pattern

It’s still winter here. The snow hasn’t melted yet, and it feels like it’s been winter forever! I can’t wait any longer for spring to arrive, so I decided to create some spring for myself… Here’s my vase of crocheted daffodils – a bit of instant springtime! Click for larger picture I’ve written up the […]

say hello to the sea turtle

March 28, 2008 @ 1:30 pm · Filed under: Crochet

I’ve tried something a bit different for my latest design for the AquaAmi range. My sea turtle is made with two colours of yarn, but is still all worked in single crochet in the round (apart from a few rogue hdcs). He is one of my largest and most ambitious designs to date, at 11″ […]

cardigan welsh corgi

March 26, 2008 @ 11:40 am · Filed under: Crochet

I decided I was being unfair by making my corgi design only apply to tailless Pembroke Welsh Corgis, so here is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi modification: (The corgi pattern will include both versions!) For everyone who is waiting, the AmiDogs Set 3 patterns will be available very shortly… UPDATE: Looking for the pattern? You can […]

german shepherd

By popular demand, I finally designed a german shepherd (also known as an Alsatian, for any Brits reading this): A big thanks to Kris and Kassie for your design feedback! It’s difficult to see his nose (black on black) but you can see it’s there from the profile of the face. I also just realised […]

welsh corgi

Introducing the next addition to AmiDogs Set 3: a Corgi! While researching the breed, I discovered there are actually two breeds of Corgi. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is larger and has a long bushy tail. The smaller Pembroke Welsh Corgi has a foxy appearance and no tail! I chose to make this variety 🙂 Queen […]

completed granny throw

March 6, 2008 @ 2:24 pm · Filed under: Craft Room, Crochet

For the Granny Squares theme on Crochet Along, I decided to make a throw to decorate the office chair in my craft room. I figured out I would need a long strip, 13 squares long and 3 squares wide. When I’d finished all the squares, I measured the finished squares against the chair and decided […]

small crochet

March 5, 2008 @ 12:49 pm · Filed under: Crochet

We’ve just started a new theme on my other blog, Crochet Along. The new theme is Small Crochet – basically anything goes, as long as it’s small(ish). I’ve given 6″ or less as a guide for size, but it’s not a strict rule. We’re going for small stuff as instant gratification – it’ll be refreshing […]
