Knitting update 2

Here's some photos of my knitted work in progress.

This is the top half of the body and the head with the arms either side.











This is the lower part of the legs and one foot.


I've still to finish knitting the second foot and both hands. This look really fiddly, with five fingers on each there is going to be lots of casting on, casting off, increases and decreases in a really small piece of work.


I'm currently putting off sewing up the seams, but will have to tackle them soon... I have sewn and unsewn the head seam twice already because I didn't like the way it looked- my invisible seam was very visible! Today I bought a hands free magnifying glass to see if that helps- it should make it easier to see what I am doing at least. 


I want to spend the evening tonight trying to do either hands or seams, I haven't decided which yet...


Until next time

Crochet: unfinished and new

I've only had a little time for crochet this week and so my amigurumi are making slow progress. I didn't feel like finishing my unfinished ones at the moment and so moved onto a new one....   I've never have been the sort of person who does things the sensible way if I don't feel like it!

My new amigurumi is again from Saplanet, it's going to be a pink WaWa, a sleeping baby monster. I think it's a really cute pattern...

Essential item 2. Stitch counter

Here are my two essential items for crochet; my comfort hook and stitch counter. My third essential is my stitch marker (the little green clip in the main photo).

Essential item 1. Comfort grip hook

On Mother's Day last week, my youngest son gave me a really sweet Blue Nose Friend soft toy badger called Bracken. I absolutely love it and was delighted when my wonderful husband bought me a second Blue Nose Friend on Thursday; a cute orangutan called Jungle.

Aren't they cute? Just adorable.

I feel a new collection coming on...











Until next time
