I gave in...

I caved and joined in on the Owlness!!!

 

Aren't these just the cutest though????

I found the easy peasy pattern and watched several youtube videos on crocheting amigurumi and got going!

I made the blue one while watching Harry Potter last night -- Hedwig must have inspired me!

Since I have 2 kids, I can't just make one... so I finished the pink one up while at work today.

And for Marci -- OWL with a MUSTACHE!! Hee hee hee

Little Black Sheep

Once there was a cute little black sheep that was looking for new things to do.

The little sheep spotted some eggs and got very excited.  She knew exactly what she could do!

She get our her egg dyeing kit and got straight to work.

Look at all the beautiful eggs she made!

I made this little black sheep for my little sister.  Its one of those long family inside jokes.  But she loved it and now my brother wants one too!!!

pattern can be found here

Sackboy for the Hubbie

My husband first gave me some strange looks when I told him I was going to start knitting.  Not unsupportive looks but more like "really, knitting..."

Well he found this pattern and asked if I could try to make it.  It comes from a game called Little Big Planet. Mine looks funny, but it works! It was hard and rewarding to get done.  I never realized how hard it would be to find a simple zipper and buttons for the eyes!

I've also added some step by step pictures of the hands as the pattern was not making sense to me and I thought if someone wanted to make their own a visual would help them along the way

This right after the "thumbs" are knitted on.  There is one on each side because you fold it over to join them together

Here you are adding the pinky finger --- you end up knitting towards the middle of the hand and then working on just the 3 stitches in the middle.  You tie them off and you end up with a finger in the middle of the work.

Again you end up with a similar experience with these other fingers where you work on just 3 stitches and then tie them off.  It makes a little Mohawk thing as you pull them together.  

 

 Then the next thing you know, you have a hand!!

Bunnie Nuggets!!!

My friend Sarah and I came across this design and I just had to make them!! They are quick and easy to make! My kids love playing with them already and my daughter has plans for me to make more!!!! Bunnies multiple quickly!

 

Kelso is on top and David is on bottom.  The kids picked the names for their bunnies.
