I left on an over a month holiday out of the country, so wasn’t around to update. However, when I was gone I made a handful of amigurumi items (and forgot to take pictures of a few eeep). I rarely follow a pattern these days, at best I would modify it to be happy with it.

Froggie was a gift to my boyfriend’s granny – I modified the pattern from this series of japanese books. I made the body smaller by about half as I felt the body was too large (and smaller body than head = MORE CUTE).

I also made an Angel for my boyfriend’s other grandma. The pattern I used I got from http://www.etsy.com/shop/kandjdolls?ref=seller_info. Though she doesn’t have an Angel pattern, I took the Red Riding Hood pattern and added a scallop to a longer skirt (shoulda flared it out a bit).

This shroomy item I just freestyle crocheted with some fingering glitter yarn. If anyone is interested in the pattern, let me know and I’ll write it up!

More to come later – I got a yarn review planned!
