Perfect Bouquet


It's not all that often I get given flowers so it's always a surprise. It's always great if they are 'just because' flowers, and this was a really thoughtful gift. (Thank you if you are reading!)
It's full of lovely flowers and leaves and although it's incredibly tempting to jump straight in and make something, I'm sure they will turn out all the better for waiting and taking some time to find the best wool and best colours etc.
Unless anyone would like a lurid pink daffodil?

Butterbur Owl

This is owl mark 2 and I'm now happy with the pattern. This one can be stuffed like normal instead of having to make an inner piece, he stands up just fine and his eyes are very expressive; with just a little manipulation he goes from grumpy, to worried, to happy.
Now he just needs some owly friends to keep him company before he goes to Folksy.

Finally Cracked the Snail


After several nights of toying around trying different crochet stitches, I finally found the combination that I was looking for.
They are very quick and easy to make and it's nice doing something other than single crochet too. I've wrote down the pattern this time so I can make more another day.

Koumori

Bats! I saw some the other night when I was walking my friend back to the train station. They were far to fast to determine what kind of bats but it was nice to see them all the same.


I remembered seeing an especially cute amigurumi bat somewhere a while back, but when I found him again he turned out to be knitted rather than crocheted. 

So I set about trying to make a crochet version. 

I think he turned out quite well. 


I'll put a pic in here later. 

Now all he/she needs is a name and somewhere to hang out. :)
