Cindy the Christmas Angel

An adorable little angel doll for Christmas, in a traditional amigurumi style.

The picture shows the eyes stitched on, but I think little black doll's safety eyes would look much cuter.

- and the mouth needs a darker pink or red to show up properly.

Sackboy finally updated, and more on the way

Whew!  It's been a tough year for me, and I haven't been around much to update here.

My email inbox is overflowing and I apologise most sincerely to those who've tried to reach me and have received a great big nothing in reply!

Hopefully things are on the improve now and we can begin to get this show back on the road again.

Sorry everyone, I'll try extra hard to keep up with things here and on my other blogs from now on!

Tony Tony Chopper

I have just fallen in love with the pure cuteness of this creature!
I think it's a reindeer...


Apparently he's a character from a story, but not one I've heard of.

{pattern chart here}
link updated: 20/02/2013

Note: this pattern is hard to follow because it's not a standard chart.
Maybe it's a type that is only used in Russia?
I can tell you that each "x" stands for one single crochet stitch.

Hopefully the photos will be enough to see you through!

Balloon Amigurumi

Fun balloons to make for a birthday gift or just for the heck of it.

Clever photo!

I shall return...

Sorry I haven't updated here for a while, my CFS has turned me into a bit of a zombie & I've been focusing on other things like drawing zentangles & making artist trading cards.

I promise I will be back again and add more of the gorgeous patterns I've found on the net.

If you want to see what I'm up to lately, I've been posting my crafty efforts on my regular blog.

I'd love it if you'd call in and say hi :)

Take care,
Jane :)

A Horse, of course!

This pattern was removed from allfreecrafts.com because it was very similar to one by another designer.

A copy was saved by the Wayback Machine, however, so we can still access it online.

If you don't like the doodads at the top of each leg, leave them out and just sew each leg on.

Knit Spider

Eugh!

I have a very strong aversion to spiders, but because I love you all so much I'm willing to overcome it and post this pattern for you to knit.
