Just cant get my head around the granny square I'm crocheting at the moment and it's driving me mad.... so I took a break and did one of my orders of an amigurumi bag charm instead



Taking a deep breath and go back to the granny square now

This is so sweet, wish I could get some time to try these Oh well maybe the weekend my lot can sort themselves for once and I will have a go

Greenpixey - that charm is really sweet. i want to make one!

i went to the library to get some books but they didnt have any. They said i can order them so if anyone has any good suggestions on the crocheting animals books i would be very grateful. thanks.

Best get back to my penguin!

Lol SueB.
Just got in from work, thought after haveing a look through the mag, that I dont need that either but I have used the wool give me a shout if you would like the mag & DVD & I will get them to you

You are all so good at making the little animals N bits, I can only manage the granny squares at the mo as my brain is on melt down after work so I can do these without thinking :rotfl:got enough now realy should put them together

Do you know I wasj ust thinking the same thing :rotfl:
I'm sitting here churning out dozens of white hexs for my blanket wishing I could make one of those cute long earred bunnies or a frog. Then I think 'OK I'll go find a pattern' then I make another hex. I'm thinking I've gone a bit brain dead. If nothing else I need to change my wool colour as I've got enough whites for a while! I'll get another ball after I've done one more :rolleyes:

Love the penguin :heartsmil, I gave up on my mouse as I could't do the ears :rotfl: and have moved onto a mario mushroom which is almost finished so i'll try to post a pic when it's done.

Love this thread as it keeps me motivated!
