Crochet, Crochet, Crochet

The minute a blast of cool air hits central Florida - I am all about Amigurumi/Crochet once again.  I have been going crazy creating Amigurumi for friends and family.  They told me I should start selling my items - so I've decided to give it a whirl.  I opened a Shopify account and here is a link if you would like to check it out.  Please forgive the shameless self promotion.

Reindeer for William

This little guy I made this year for my grandson's stocking.  It was a bit time consuming and requires a small hook, which ultimately makes my hands ache. But I think all and all it was a fun project.  I  just think I'll use a larger hook next time.


You can find the pattern on my Pinterest Page.  Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/artsyamericanartsandcrafts/?fref=nf
The pattern is free and was designed by Tales of Twisted Fibers.

Since the time I made this cutie, I have changed my strategy a bit in attaching body parts.  Now I use just a simple needle and matching thread.  I think this method hides the seam a bit better than the yarn you leave on the piece...and is far less bulky.
