November 6: Patchwork Ball

Pattern # 310:  Patchwork Ball

This pattern is from one of the blogs that I read, Yellow, Pink, & Sparkly.  It was actually Big Girl Jewelry who suggested that I made this toy, and I fully agreed!  So thanks to you both for the great pattern and idea!

October 28: Little Bat - COMPLETED

Pattern # 301:  Little Bat

How cute is this little bat?  I would make him with black yarn, but I still think he is just adorable.  He looks very Disney to me!  Now, I really need to head to the store and pick up some safety eyes!

The link up is still active for the CAL, head on over and check out what all the pumpkins look like in our little pumpkin patch!

 Updated October 15, 2013: I wanted to finish this cute little guy before Halloween this year, and I did! It's just sitting on the entryway though. I should really put some fishing line through him and hang him. Right? So it looks like he's flying?

August 2: Grab Ball

Pattern # 214:  Grab Ball

This pattern is different than any other that I have found.  It also looks like it is going to be quite a challenge.  That is part of why I picked it, to prove that I am up to a challenge! haha  This is a pattern where I need to make sure to get the same weight yarn,  I learned that from the Rav comments.

July 13: Pigs

Pattern #194: Pigs

This pattern from Michele Wilcox is very cute. It looks super detailed, and I fear this will be a challenge. It says easy, but it looks like a lot of stitches to keep even. My goal is to make one, not all 3!

June 21: Monkey

Pattern #172: Monkey

(click pattern of big crocheted monkey, the pattern is in English)

It's day 2 of grad week and you are probably totally confused as to why there is a monkey pattern up. Well, I wanted to cater to my grads during grad week, one of those being my brother. He loves monkeys. Don't know why, he just does. I'm not sure if he would want a crocheted one, but I wanted to post it anyways. I wasn't sure what else to crochet for him.

Feb 16: Pond Friends Stacking Toy -- COMPLETED

Pattern #47: Pond Friends Stacking Toy

Are you all babied out yet? I'm not - I could crochet baby gifts all day long! This one was recommended to me by a coworker, she really wants me to make baby toys. I am excited to try this out, but a little nervous - it's a pretty big / time consuming project! It is a great gift for a toddler as well - and it is gender neutral!

--------------------

July 31, 2012:  It is finished! I think there are real pictures on my camera, but this will suffice for now! The rings turned out a bit smaller than I expected (so they sit lower on the center stick thing), but it is still cute. And I am sure my friend's baby will love it!
