Day 06 - Whatever Tickles Your Fancy

What I've Been Making

About a week and a half ago I was looking through DA and found some great pictures to do with Rag Dolls. I thought it'd be nice to make an amigurumi rag doll, so this is what I came up with...



She's about 30cm/12'' tall and made with the usual DK yarn and 3.5mm hook. I wanted to use buttons for eyes this time to make her look more like a rag doll. I also thought I'd try out a weird hair cut. I like weird. I didn't know what to dress her in - I started off by making some felt clothes but it didn't work out. So in the end I crocheted her a dress. Oh, and she hasn't got a name yet. Any ideas? Again, something weird would be nice...

Next up were some more Monsties...


Made them for the fundraising fun day I'm taking part in on Easter Sunday. Did I mention I was doing that?! An old school friend of mine contacted me after seeing my crochet stuff on Facebook and asked me if I'd like a stall. Yay!

Then on *thinks* Monday I got a nice message from someone on Etsy saying they liked my Lolly doll from a while back, and wondered if they could buy the pattern. I found the pattern but it needed altering so I made a new one...


She's called Lolly too lol! The person on Etsy is now testing the pattern for me, if it all goes well I might put it up in my Etsy Shop.

Last but not least...


... Bear Ears Headband! Lmao! I saw a fab pattern on Ravelry for them, but when I tried it out I couldn't get the hang of it. So I made up my own pattern. They are made so they fit any size head, so can be worn by kids or grown-ups. Silly grown ups like me lol! (Yes, that's me in the picture. I hate pictures of myself...)I'm gonna make some more and sell them at the fundraiser.

I haven't done much of the Kokeshi Doll this week. Shame on me. I'm having a hard time seeing the stitches as I'm using black yarn. I'm gonna keep going though - hopefully it should be done in a couple of weeks.
