Hi, everyone! I know I said I would be posting things other than crochet, but unfortunately, that will not be this post. It’s just chock full of crochet!
I made a couple of Christmas gifts this year. One was a pair of crimson fingerless gloves for a friend.
The other was this adorable Batman amigurumi for another friend. He was made from the Amigurumi Batman pattern from Tales of Twisted Fibers.
And, looking forward to the future, I have finally started on the throw I’ve been wanting to make for myself for over a year now. The foundation row, the yarn I’m using, and the test sample are pictured below.
The throw will look like the text sample (the weird border on the sides that I don’t like excluded), only on a much larger scale. The pattern is Millstone Stitch from Potter and Bloom.
I think y’all are all up-to-date now on everything I’m working on. Hopefully, in my next post, I’ll have something to talk about other than crochet! I am, as always, The Crafting Bunny, and Happy New Year to all my readers!
We’re only eleven days out from my second-favorite holiday of the year: Halloween! (Easter is number one, if you were curious.) So I decided to make a master post of all the Halloween stuffed creatures I’ve made this year. Fellow crocheters, the links to the patterns for these cute critters are at the bottom of this post.
Let’s start with the symbol of the season–the pumpkin! These were so much fun to make, and I love the cute little stems at the top. There are a number of pumpkin patterns that have you crocheting them vertically, but these were done horizontally, and I think I prefer them that way.
Next up, we have these precious little ghosts! Do they really count as amigurumi if they’re not actually stuffed? I’m not entirely sure, but we’re going to say they do for the purposes of this post. 😉
But, yes, they are indeed hollow in the middle, which means you can slip them over the top of a battery-powered tea light for a spooky effect!
Finally, we have my personal favorites, the adorable candy corn! I’m not a huge fan of the actual candy, but these stuffed ones are amazing. I love them so much.
Once again, these Halloween amigurumi are a blog-exclusive, which means they’re not listed in my Etsy store. They’re made-to-order, and you can get some of your very own by emailing me or by catching me on my Facebook page.
Hello, friends, and welcome to The Crafting Bunny site!
I’m so glad you could join me here today as I begin this (hopefully) exciting journey through life and crafting!
As we speak, I, Bunny, have fairish skills in both crochet and embroidery. I am looking to explore amigurumi further and perhaps develop some crochet patterns of my own.
As far as knitting goes, I am a rank beginner, but I thought I could share my foray into knitting with all of you so that you can see the struggles and the triumphs that come with learning any form of crafting. Ditto for cross-stitch, as I’m even less than a rank beginner with that!
I am not a quick crafter, so bear with me as I update this blog. While you wait for me to post, I highly suggest you checking out my Friends page, where you can see the sites of some of my dear friends. I recommend them highly!
So thank you for joining me on this journey, and stay tuned for updates!
I am, as always, The Crafting Bunny.
