Christmas-time is here!

Okay. I love Christmas. But you already knew that, right? Well, I finished my next Christmas toy. This holiday penguin was shipped out to a friend who we called penguin, back in college. I had to wait to post this until she received it! :) What do you think of this little guy?

I think he is just adorable -- plus he likes to hang out with our friend Rudy. :)

As per usual, check out the original post for my recap, more pictures, and a link to the pattern!

Rudy the Reindeer

Christmas is coming. It is a little over a month away. Crazy. I, for one, am super excited. One reason -- this cute little reindeer. I have been wanting to make this guy for the past three years or so (ever since I saw the one that my friend made), but just never had the time today. Well, folks, I did it. And in one weekend, mind you! These little guys don't actually take that much time, you just have to dive in and get going!

So I would like to introduce you to Rudy.

Why Rudy, you ask? I have absolutely no idea. Maybe because it is like a form of Rudolph? I do not know. It just popped into my head when I was downloading the pictures. As always, check out the original project page for more info!

December 6: Reindeer - COMPLETED

Pattern # 340:  Reindeer

Day 2 of Christmas amigurumi is upon us, with this incredibly cute reindeer from Lion Brand.  My coffee & crochet date friend showed me this pattern last year and I absolutely adore it!

Updated November 21, 2011: I finished this little guy and I love him! I made this guy early, so he is ready for our Christmas decorations this year! I really cannot get over how cute he is. The hubs says that his nose should be red, so I may have to change that (easy enough to do). The cats are a little freaked out by Rudy -- they gave his face some playful swats last night! Also, how cute is that little sticker label? I just love the apps that are available for my iphone!
