Started out as a rattle, turned into a lion. Inspired by Ange but I was too lazy to do a full-on mane. This one just goes around the face. I’m happy with it :)

Peachy Keen

September 13, 2009 at 7:06 am (Crochet, amigurumi, by Mar)

I wanted to design a smaller, faster doll, so I could write up a pattern and sell it on etsy. Well, it has taken me this long to make the doll. It might be a while before I get it on etsy… sigh… where does the time go? Anyways, I’m in the process of writing it up, then I’ll need to photograph step-by-step directions. I’m so glad I’m a designer by profession bcs it’ll be fun to put together instructions :0) Stay tuned for more…

Peachy-Keen Bunny is my take on Care Bears. Dang, I really wished I had one of those when I was growing up in the eighties… Now I just have to make my own <3

Penguin

July 16, 2009 at 7:39 pm (amigurumi, by Janie)

penguin_frontR-penguin_sideThe long awaited penguin that I had promised (back in the Fall)  my friend’s child…finally completed in early Spring.

This penguin is definitely better looking than “Hippy Hippo” (pattern from the same book).

JP_978-4-391-13690-6This person on Flickr is obviously not just a fan, but a fanatic of Japanese craft books, and now I’m her fan. I found her set of photos when looking to show my latest library addition from Kinokunia bookstore in Uwajimaya, Seattle.

Dressed up bear

June 10, 2009 at 10:15 pm (CRAFT, Crochet, amigurumi, by Michelle)

Originally didn’t really like how this bear turned out (fuzzy yarn made it look kinda worn, also looked kinda naked), but thanks to Dee’s idea of a dress, I’m much happier with it now :-)IMG_1391All dressed upthe dress

Tried to think of new cat toys for my friends’ cats. We’ll see how well these little things get flung around. I was hoping stripes would intrigue cats. Since I have no cats of my own, I’ll have to test these out with my friends’ cats :0)

I choose you, Manaphy!

manaphyMy nephew requested a Manaphy pokemon a long while ago, and it was only recently that I was feeling up to winging my own pattern.  Ta-da, here is the result.  Yes, I know I am still missing a yellow jewel and if I feel like it, I shall add it just before I give to him when he’s in town this summer for a visit.

My next pokemon on my to-do list is a Piplup pokemon.

Pink Haired Amigurumi Girl

Just finished my friend’s super girlie amigurumi. She requested a lot of pink and purple. I quite like how her hair turned out. It is fun to put it in different hair styles.

Freedah Cat Puppet

May 8, 2009 at 10:49 am (Crochet, amigurumi, by Cecelia)

fridah_0736 My first experiment melding the puppet head with movable arms. The mouth still wasn’t stiff even though I added a second panel on the inside. Still, can’t beat being able to pick things up and wash your face. It was modeled after my friend’s cat, Freedah.

I know I shouldn’t enjoy seeing her smoke, but I can’t help laughing when I see this.

Button Crazy!

April 1, 2009 at 9:25 am (Crochet, amigurumi, by Mar)

Oh, there’s nothing cheaper and more thrilling to me than buttons. I want to use them for new amigurumi eyes. I found these lovely ones at Fabricland. Three pairs for $1.09.  I hope they make good cat eyes.

Hello Kitty

kitty1This is my very first time following a Japanese chart and surprisingly I enjoyed it very much.  It is very similar to reading a cross-stitch pattern.

My niece LOVED her HK very much, Hello Kitty will never be short on hugs and kisses.

Monster – In Progress (65%)

March 19, 2009 at 4:26 pm (Crochet, amigurumi, by Cecelia)

I was quite excited to start my new idea of a monster puppet with a mouth that would never close.

mouth2

I tried many times to use eyelash yarn to make a hairy monster, but gave up after fighting with it so much. Instead I gave it multicolors by changing the body color. Since then, my love for my budding monster has gone astray and I somehow don’t love it quite so much anymore, even though it’s neat to have it stick out its tongue.

Earphone Whales

March 17, 2009 at 3:44 am (Crochet, amigurumi, by Mar)

Roman Sock is brilliant. She combines cute with functionality! All praise roman sock!!!

earphone_whales_1 earphone_whale_2

I had to make her latest invention: the earphone whale. It brilliantly hides your precious earphones inside the whale in a nicely fitting mouth. The design of the mouth is especially smart. The opening where your earphones tuck into is on the inside back of the whale’s mouth. And my hubby especially likes how the eyes keep the mouth closed. When he saw mine, he immediately asked, “can you make me one too?!!” Too funny…

Here is Roman Sock’s blog: littlegreen.typepad.com/romansock/

Here is where you can buy her pattern: http://littlegreen.typepad.com/romansock/shop.html
