Flower dish rag

bought the "Sugar n' Cream" 100% cotton yarn... for a new ami, but it is very course and stiff.
Doesn't feel too nice on the hands, when you try to loop through in basic crochet, but it is pretty cheap and you can buy at Michaels and JoAnne's.
I didn't want to waste it and too lazy to return it, so I made it into a dish cloth.
Perfect for it, plus you can throw it into the laundry without any issues.

I was checking out the Santa Cruz directory and was able to find a local knit store.
I was pleasantly surprised that there is an amigurumi class taught there.
I can't wait to visit them, if my schedule permits.
I'm not digging the commute from Santa Cruz to San Francisco, but that's life for you.

"ami"
as the die hard amigurumi crafter would call it.
thought that this little guy had a lot on his mind. (the one posted on April 24th)
so I drew it out.

Happy Easter (belated)

White Bunny for you. Ok. so I made this one after I lost the blue bunny I made.
It became a keychain. I got compliments from the girl that works at JoAnne's.
(man, there are many books on this type of crocheting- is it a fad?)
I got left over kimono type material and sewn that into the ears and make a pocket out of it.

ps- the eyes came off and I eventually used black craft thread to make the eyes.
I will show a photo of that later, if I remember

"Terri" amigurumi

New terrier dog amigurumi by the beach.
She's wearing a heart collar (hard to see it)
I just ordered some 8mm eyes that has bigger pupils. Because currently, I think these eyes might be a bit too small for the size of the head.
So far, I've only ordered amigurumi eyes on Etsy.com. I've been unable to find dolls eyes elsewhere.
I originally bought some glue-on eyes, but those don't last and immediately fall out, especially if you plan to use them on a doll as a keychain. So from experience, the eyes on these should either use the safety eyes with the washer in the back or hand sewn.
I will post a white bunny keychain I did, where the eyes did fall out, and I ended up using craft thread to make the eyes.
I am a geek, I know.

Tried an animal with a hoodie with ears

Let me know what you think.

These are made randomly....all from the top of my head.
Going to make as much of these little amigurumis as possible.
So now, I'll need to buy more doll safety eyes from Etsy.com
Love that site.

I have arthritis...from my dad and hoping that it isn't RA.
so sooner or later, I'll probably lose the functions of my hands/fingers.
so whilst I still have function with minimal pain, I'll keep busy with these.
