Well, it has been way too long since I have posted. Life has been busy, busy! And I have been busy crafting. Here's what I was up to in August. Click on the names to visit each project's Ravelry page.
1. Monsters!!
 |
| Little orange Ro was made in July, after my ER trip |
These monsters are all adapted from patterns designed by Stacey over at
Freshstitches. They are so sweet and can be made in any size!
Little Roose
 |
| Little Roose |
This guy was made with Aran yarn I purchased from my
LYS. While pricey, it feels so wonderful. He is a great snuggle buddy. :)
Monster 2
 |
| Monster 2 |
This young lady is smaller than Little Roose. She is soft and snuggly, made with Premiere yarn. Her color changes make me happy.
2. Ocean Life
All three of these critters are Freshstitches patterns.
Crabber

Crabber

 |
| Crabber |
Crabber is one of my favorite projects to date. He is so big and cuddly, and his claws are just plain fun. I could mess with him all day.
Tipper
 |
| Tipper and Crabber |
Tipper is a baby crab, hence his little claws. He has embroidered pupils to be even more kid-friendly than his parent.
Wal
 |
| Wal |
Wal is a funny looking little fish. I made him while completely exhausted in the middle of the night. My husband was night fishing and I wanted to be sure he had a fish to come home to, in case his trip didn't go that well. He's not my best work, and I'll be making another down the road, but he's adorable all the same. More embroidered eyes, for practice.
3. Accessory
Infinity Scarf
To me,
this pattern is nothing short of magic. It is so quick and easy and looks so darned elegant. This was another deliciously expensive yarn from Middleford, this time a wool. I plan on making at least a few more for myself in lighter yarns.
Oh, and did you notice the button?
Beautiful. This button is handmade by
One of a Kind Buttons. I bought a few of them, and each one is different and so gorgeous. I really look forward to using them on future projects.
