Hi everyone, I was just wondering if any one has a pattern for a hoop. I want to make a Christmas wreath and I've looked at some patterns on the net but they aren't what I'm looking for. Even if it isn't a wreath pattern, it's the hoop bit I'm having trouble finding. Ideally I want it big-ish.

Thanks in advance x x

Made a chibi-totoro using this pattern. I've changed feet a bit though 'cause they seemed a bit small to me.



The shamrock was made by this pattern, but I've made 4 petals instead of 3 and no handle... or stem, whatever it's called :-D

I was going through my wool draw the other day and I found one of my half finished projects. I still have to finish her off but I thought I'd show you all anyway.

I've been trying to decide what to make my 2 best friends this year. It suddenly came to me; One's favorite animal is a tiger, the other a lion, & mine a bear.
So I wanna make a lion, tiger, and bear that look like they go together. We all live in different places, so it's gonna be like, every time you look at your animal, you can think of the other 2.

I went on Lion Brand's site & found a pattern for a bear and a lion that obviously go together... but no luck with the tiger.
I've just started crocheting recently, so I don't feel comfortable enough to just make my own tiger in that fashion.

So, has anyone come across a lion, tiger, and bear that look like a set? Or has anyone made a tiger in the fashion linked above?

Any help is SUPER appreciated! Thankss!

L to R .....Hula Sackgirl- Rudolph Reindeer - Ninja Warrior



These are my Latest Sack dolls, a little Hula girl, Christmas Reindeer, and an infamous Ninja Warrior, hope you like them, I have been having a great time being able to crochet again. The Sack dolls are inspired from Sony's Play station (PS3) game, "Little Big Planet"

It's already past St. Nicholas' day - and we all know what that means: presents. So with great vigor some of my friends participated in a gift-exchange, me included. From a safe source I gathered that my recipient was a great admirer of the little mole named Krtek when he was oh-so-young. So a plushie of that he got - especially if I had to freehand it myself. :D

My newest amigurumi, Shinubi, the lonely Shinobi (Ninja).
He is a prototype for my next projects, no wonder he is lonely, just like Adam before there were Eve :D
I made him in sitting pose, with semi- poseable hands. I planned on to put him on my new desk at the studio :D (YaY! I got a new desk!)
I don't have wire so I made the poseable hands based on Teddy bear doll tutorial (felt doll book), but it doesn't work like how I wanted :(
I don't have small beads for the eyes so I'm using big sequins, but I think it turn out cute as if He use black glasses :D

there's more stories about him on my blog, and more pictures of him on my flickr

see ya!

Last night I made all the pieces for my first plush/amigurumi animal and now I need to put it all together.

I've googled and searched around but I didn't see any really helpful information.

Most faces are at least partly embroidered it seems. I did learn to embroider "properly" as a child by making a burp cloth for my new cousin which I never finished(He's 16 now.) so in theory I know the basics, but there are some particulars I'm not sure about.

Do you embroider with embroidery floss or with yarn?

Do you use a yarn needle like the one you put the body parts together with, or an embroidery needle?

Do you put your needle through the holes in the crochet? between the stitches? just between the pieces of yarn? Or do you stick your needle through a piece of yarn?

These mysteries and any other tips would be much appreciated!

I'm trying to tackle this awesome beetle pattern I found on ravelry, however it is in Japanese, so I can't really understand it. It is charted however but I'm not clear on how to follow it:

Can anyone help me out in discerning this and making this patter:

hi guys!

I really want to make a Hello Kitty as an Xmas gift. I found this one that I am completely IN LOVE with.


There isn't a pattern for it available anywhere anymore. I think I can figure a lot of it out... it's made in the round. I believe the body is sewn directly onto the head and the eyes and stuff are added after but I really can't figure out the hoodie!


here is what they look like without the hoods... i'm not really sure how to do the ears or bows either :/

If anyone has a pattern for this or can write one or has any ideas on the elements I'm not sure of I'd REALLY appreciate the help!


Oh, sidenote- I've found a lot of pokemon patterns but my friend wants an Eevee and I can't find one for that. Any thoughts?

Thanks guys!

(Yay, first post!) I don't know if anyone else has this problem, I've been getting a weird seam thing that twists around the cone that I'm making. Generally this isn't a problem since I use evenly spaced increases. Anyway, I'm trying to crochet a mini sleeping cap for a kirby amigurumi that I'm making for my brother's birthday. What I'm doing is starting with three in the first round and increasing by one single crochet every round (I'm working in continuous rounds, by the way). Every time I try making the cap, it turns out looking like a bull horn because of the spiral-y seam. Help?
