Its nice to see all the lovely things you ladies have been making.

I havent posted here since the beginning of january as ive been waylaid with cross- stitch.

Ive now made a mouse, cherries and a octopus...






(Sorry i dont know how to get all the images to be the same size.)

Ive also made a egg shaped bunny that doesnt have a face yet.

I think i then got too ambitious, i tried a rooster and its body some how went loads smaller than its head so its rather deformed. I will take a picture of it later for my blog.

Any how the real reason im here is does anyone know where i can find a pattern (free) for small ish (the amigurumi will be about 5cm when finished) wings- i want to make my mum a flying pig!

i need to find a cute cat to do one for my mum for mothers day.


If anyone can remember the bookmark i did for my dad of my dad - well, its his birthday today and he phoned (my dad never phones, he hates using the phone) to say thank you and that he loved it! :T

Thanks guys i'll have a play when ive finished the pig (i started this one http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=30488.0 ) and see which wings look best.

Nuttybabe- Ive had a couple of cats in my "want to make list" http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/70585AD.html?noImages= (this place has loads of freebies but you need to register- for free, with it to see them) and http://nimoe.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/miuku-the-cat-pattern/

I want to do somehting like a penguin next but i cant find black wool that doesnt cost a fortune at the moment. Might just have to bite the bullet and buy it at £1.50 then i can get the rest for about £1.

luckily for me, my mum gave me loads of wool. the only wool i have bought is the red sparkly and pink sparkly cos i just couldnt resist it!

I had to leave my blanket for a bit because it was doing my head in. I picked it up again yesterday and it's finally, if very slowly, beginning to resemble a blanket :j

I'll post a picture when the block I'm working on is all joined together. Hopefully between then and now I'll have worked out how NOT to join the wrong edges together.

:j I've finished the block I was working on and added some of the finished hexagons so I could get a general idea of the size and how it was going to look. It's far from finished but it's starting to look like a blanket. It's been a real learning curve but next time (if I EVER make another blanket) it'll be so much easier

The pictures are kind of dark and don't show the colours properly but I wanted to share now. It was originally meant to be 9 rows down and 13 rows across but has somehow turned into being 16 rows across

Oh I think I need to make something new I haven't done anything in ages and now I feel guilty after looking at all these things

hmmmm what to try..... lol
