adventures of a crazy cat lady

I know I said this a few months ago. that I was SO far behind on posting my crochet projects. well, now I'm even further behind. good job, me!

so I'm posting again. here is a project I particularly love. a blanket I made for supashoppa!

( blanket! )

I was on a real roll there this year. I was finishing a blanket a month, which is very cool as I so love making blankets. then I started on the Big Project, which is awesome but is taking longer to complete. as a side project I made this amigurumi for tcwildstar. Cthulhu! his eyes are a little too small, I think. I really prefer to use yarn instead of felt, buttons, plastic eyes, etc. but I didn’t know if I could make yarn eyes small enough (what with the massive hook I use). so I used plastic eyes.

this blanket was made for my previous supervisor, Mike's, baby, Hadley. it was the 1st time I used this yarn ("I Love This Yarn"), and it was super soft. they had done the baby's room in pink and green, so this pink camo yarn matched the perfectly (to the pictures I had seen of the nursery). this pattern is quick and easy, and the yarn made it very pretty.

this blanket was made for my co-worker, Stacy's baby, Keri Gwen. it was a neat little pattern that zigzag-ed in and out creating a ruffled trim at the top and bottom, and a flat trim on the sides. the pattern also called for a pocket with an amigurumi toy in it. but I thought the pocket made it less functional, and more decorational. so I omitted both pocket and toy.
