Crochet!...getting the hang of it now!!

Feeling accomplished!! :)

Well I feel like I am on a roll now!!! These are my second and third attempts at crochet...a giraffe and  monkey!

I made the giraffe using this amazing pattern from the lovely http://ilovebuttonsbyemma.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/crochet-giraffe-pattern.html .  This is only my second attempt at crochet amigurumi and I found the pattern really easy to follow!  I am really pleased with the result and so is my four year-old niece!!

The pattern for the monkey came from: http://www.etsy.com/listing/179944745/monkey-amigurumi-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_16 which has an amazing array of patterns to choose from!!  My one-year old nephew was really please with his monkey too!

My efforts!!!.......

Thanks for looking! :)

Crochet update!!

I have been super busy trying to learn to crochet so I can make my bunny from my Toft pattern (available from: http://www.thetoftalpacashop.co.uk/home.aspx ) ...this is what I am aiming for...

I got a bit stuck when it came to doing the face but sort of got there in the end and this is the result of my very first attempt at crochet!!!.....one bunny rabbit!!

There are loads more patterns available for making lovely animals from TOFT  http://www.thetoftalpacashop.co.uk/PD.aspx?product=PATTERNS/toys/-Edwards_Menagerie_eBook :

There are so many lovely animals I can't decide what to crochet next!!!
