Happypotomus






 Finished my 3rd Happypotumus. She's about 26 inches long. She is crocheted with worsted weight yarn from a pattern by Heidi Bears, found on Revelry. The smallest is made with size 10 thread and the middle size one is made with size 3 crochet thread.

Adalia Shawl

 


This is the Adalia Shawl. It is crocheted with Lion Brand Shawl in a Cake Metallic yarn. It took 2 cakes. I only went to row 54 on the pattern because the pattern called for fingering weight yarn and what I used was worsted weight. It's a very pretty pattern with a pretty shell edging.

Bumblebee Hat

 

I got the pattern for this bumblebees hat from Repeatcrafter me.com. I used soft worsted weight yarn. I don't remember which yarn I used but possibly I Love This Yarn.

Sleepy Dragon

 Another toy! This one is the Sleepy Dragon found on Amigurumi To Go. I used Red Heart Super Saver. I ran out of the two main colors so I did part in light pink.

Waffle Baby Blanket


 This is a baby blanket I crocheted. It is a front post and back post stitch that makes a waffle pattern. I then put a single crochet border around it in 2 colors. It is very soft and squishy. I used Pound of Love yarn. It comes in a variety of colors and is machine washable. I think that is a very important feature in a baby item.

Dream Shawl

 I crocheted this shawl a year or two ago. I call it my Dream Shawl because I saw the design in a dream. The next day I decided that if my mom could choreograph dances in her dreams I could design crocheted things in my dreams. I had done this wave pattern on a scarf before, but I had never seen it done on a pattern where I would have increases and decreases. It is worked from one side to the other with a leaning shell on the bottom edge.

 I enjoy crocheting stuffies. I have them all over the place even though no little kids live here. These came from the book, "Edward's Menagerie," by Kerry Lord. There are 40 animals in the book. I have made 4 of them so far. I did the bunny first. I love how he turned out. Next I did the cat. I think his ears are a little too big, but he's okay. Then came the polar bear. The eyes are uneven, but that's my fault. My favorite, so far, is the sheep. His loopy fleece alone took as long as all the rest of him put together. I will be making more animals out of this book, but I'm not sure which one I'll do next.

Crocheted Spring Wreath

 I got the foam wreath at Dollar Tree. The green yarn is Vanna's.
 I crocheted a rectangle long enough and wide enough to go all the way around but still fit snug.
 I sew the ends together and sewed it onto the wreath with the seam in the back.
 I had a whole pile of 6-petal flowers already made. I just needed to sew buttons to the centers.
 Pinned all the flowers on until I was satisfied then thought about other little things I already had that I could put on: the bird, the butterflies, and the lady bug buttons.
Made a chain of dark green and glued everything with the hot glue gun and done. This was inspired by repeatcrafterme.com and her crocheted spring wreath.
