Timmy, A New Friend and The Stash

I crocheted my first ami of the year last week! Yay! Here's Timmy...

I crocheted Timmy for a customer on Etsy. She wanted a Uniloomph just like Stuart, my pattern Uniloomph, but also requested he had hooves (hoofs?!). So I crocheted the bottom of Timmy's feet black! I like him, and making him has given me new enthusiasm for amigurumi, which can't be a bad thing!

So I decided to finish an ami I started late last year...

I call him a Mini Pillow Pal, because he's a mini pillow and he's very friendly lol! I wanted to use this new Aran yarn I bought from Southend, so used a bigger hook than usual. I also used one of many cute buttons I bought in the same shop for the middle of his eye, and gave him pink hair. I was originally thinking about giving him arms and legs, but decided against it as I thought he looked cute enough. If anyone's interested I can write the pattern up and post it on here - it's super simple.

Oh, and I sorted out my yarn stash today. I counted over 60 skeins, then found I had another 12 hiding in a bag...

This obsession has got to stop - I bought a 35 litre bucket today to keep it in, along with the existing hold-all and big fabric box I already have, and it's taking over my room lol!
