Hi all,
Wanted to quickly pop in and show you Allen's 1up mushroom rug! It's strange for me to see because it looks so similar to the one in my house - but green ^_^ I think Mario would prefer to eat this one Allen's picasa album can be found here. Thanks so much for showing me Allen!
My red version with the pattern for the squares is here
Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway and described what colour combinations they love :) It's great that everyone has such different tastes and ideas, and that many people made their descriptions quite evocative Some of my personal faves and ones I'd love to try once I have visited the yarn shop were: - royal blue trimmed in black - gradually changing black to white - ivory/cream with black/grey
Other popular ones that would look great included: - black/purple - black/gray - grey/light pink
If you do crochet a pair yourself I would love to see the colours that you have chosen
Now for the winner... Congrats to Linda Kish! who suggested 'light brown and chocolate trim'
Hello again,
It's the most beautifully sunny day so I don't want to spend too much time online, but thought I'd just tell you about how my stash monster and I have reached an agreement.
In my last two houses (really have to stop moving house so often!) my stash monster had lived on the floor greedily munching up the carpet space. This hanging shoe organiser has finally made my stash happily controllable in my BIR. I chose to sort by colour because of my amigurumi tendencies, but sorting by texture or yarn type could have also worked quite well. Hooray for cataloguing ^_^
Thanks also for all the suggestions coming through from the Mobius Mitts giveaway! I'm enjoying hearing what colours people think would go well together!
This week I won some yarn from a giveaway run by the lovely Jenn of It has been fun chatting to Jenn and she was even nice enough to post about my creations here. I enjoyed browsing through her blog too and particularly liked this little crochet skirt :) Thanks Jenn! Will be looking forward to deciding what to create with this yarn ^_^
Finally Jack won't be lonely! Took me a little one to write this one up as I didn't take very accurate notes when making his vest, but he's here at last :)
Make your own cuddly Torchwood pair Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto Jones) and John Barrowman (Jack Harkness). These easy to crochet plushies are perfect to snuggle up to while watching Torchwood and Doctor Who :p Ianto's smile is very hard to pull off with yarn, so am looking forward to any other plushies people create!
Difficulty 2/10 Good for someone with some basics
Yarn Any 8ply acrylic yarn should be fine. I used mostly Magnum Soft 8ply
Measurements 30cm tall, with an arm span of 24cm (average, will change depending on thickness of yarn
Allen's picasa album can be found here. Thanks so much for showing me Allen!
