Thanks, have saved these in my bookmarks. I taught myself to crochet in March this year and love it. Mainly doing Amigurumis so far. Ive started a blog where I posted pictures of all my projects if you fancy have a look http://greenpixey.blogspot.com/

Would you mind sharing the dragon pattern or perhaps tell me where you found it?

hey greenpixey - i like your bee.

i have been really busy making jewellery for going on ebay, and also been selling some clothes/bits and bobs on ebay, but on holiday from friday 3rd, and got two weeks off. me and OH are going camping so taking my crochet needles, wool and some patterns to keep me busy at night - hopefully i'll get some cute amigrumi done and some innocent hats

What about making a damn it doll? it comes with a cute poem....

When you want to kick the desk or
throw the phone and shout.
Here's a little damnit doll
you cannot do without.
Just grasp it firmly by the legs,
and find a place to slam it.
And as you whack it's stuffing out,
yell, "damnit, damnit, damnit!"

the instructions on how to make one is here http://www.beautyandlace.com.au/damnitdoll.htm

Everyone I made one for fell in love with him - he really is cute! He's also easy to do.

Enjoy!

Actually there are loads of other patterns on the crochetme.com website - there are a couple of other dragons plus some quite bizarre things like crocheted false teeth lol! And a crocheted raindrop in wellies, which I may make for an American friend who lived with me for a year - I'm in Manchester so she has fond memories (not!) of the rain lol!

Thank you for sharing the pattern, the dragon is fab!!! Living in Wales I know quite a few people that I can crochet a dragon for, Christmas or birthdays...not to mention for my own boys.
So many patterns and so little time, I usually only get 3hrs in the evening when the little ones gone to bed. Sometimes I feel it's just not enough.
If you see anything on my blog that you want a pattern for just let me know
or feel free to follow it if you want. I'm planning to make one of my Amis into a smaller version, put it on a keyring and have a "give away" on the blog in a couple of weeks time.
Just got to finnish the two I'm working on at the moment...I've started to stitch them together now tonight actually.... but now, its off to bed Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks greenpixey about the offer of patterns from your blog but - I have just done my list and realised I have 22 presents to make eeeeek! I had better get cracking and stop mucking around online.

I worked out that 22 presents means one present a week between now and half-way through December .....:eek: waahhh why am I doing this to myself?!!:rotfl:
