These were so fun to make! A customer requested Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba, and I couldn't resist...it's my daughter's favorite show, after all!
These were crocheted using Wool of the Andes from Knitpicks in Grass and Avocado, with black, red and white accents. The face was crocheted in some free form crochet and then sewn on after.
These were so fun, and I'd love to make something for my daughter like these. She kept wanting to try this pair on...too bad she's potty training!

A Small, Bright Soaker!
This one was fun to make. I usually make my woolies out of, well, wool. But I love the colors and ease of acrylic, not to mention the price. You can't beat acrylic for price. So, I crocheted some soakers and other fun things out of a couple of super bright colors. The first one, I blogged a month or so ago, and here's the most recent.
Wool is warm, soft, and has amazing properties. But Acrylic is less expensive, easy to just toss in the washer, and works almost as well as wool as a diaper cover. For the price, you just can't overlook acrylic yarn!
This little beauty is for sale on my Etsy store, so go take a look!

Woo! Been a while...
My goal was to keep up a little more often, but life gets in the way sometimes!
Here is a little of what I've been working on:
Another Calorimetry, this one for my sister's birthday. Happy birthday, sis! Love you!

Some recent customs...
Here is a hat I knitted based on the Felicity pattern, by Wanett Clyde. I shortened it and added stripes, but it's still a little slouchy, which was the intention.
Here are a set of Mommy and Me Calorimetries, sent to the lucky winner of a giveaway on the Gillyweeds Facebook page. It took me a little longer to send them off than I wanted, so I sent her a set of birthday cards, as well. I'm happy with how they turned out. I cast on fewer stitches for the child sized one, and am glad it turned out so well.
The original pattern doesn't call for stripes, so I had to finagle them a little, but in the end, I think they turned out really fun!
