What I've Been Making

Another busy crochet week. I got loads of my Super Massive Kokeshi Doll done, this is what I have so far...


She's HUGE! I'm making the hair now, which is gonna be a right pain as I hate using black yarn. I can never see the stitches properly. Oh well!

In between making the doll I've made a few amigurumi and a scarf. Here's the scarf...



I didn't follow a pattern, I just made it up as I went along. It's basically just a row of about 251 Sc foundation stitches, turn; *Sc, Ch 1, skip one stitch* to the end. Pretty simple but it gives a nice interweaving effect with the different colours. I might make another one in bright rainbow shades.

Next was a pink turtle called Pinkie...


I made her using my Tilly The Turtle pattern. I added a pink flower button to her head as I thought it looked cute! I'm thinking about selling her in my Etsy shop, I'm not too sure yet.

Then it was Bob the Super Monstie...



... I made him using my Super Monstie pattern. I like Bob - he looks really happy and was alot of fun to make. And quick, which is always good. I get bored if something takes me too long to make!

That's about it. In the coming week I'm gonna continue with the Kokeshi doll, and do little bits in between.

  5. Thank you all!
    Whitney - it took 2 bags of stuffing! About one and a half of those were used just to stuff the head lol!
    Sarah - Yep, my hands do hurt! I keep getting yarn burns on my left hand and have to top for a bit!
