....Amigurumi....

.... Hello all....

....and goodness, where oh where does the time go?, the weeks just seem to fly past, one minute i had months to finish making my presents for the coming celebrations and then all of a sudden i am panicking that i wont have things made in time....

....I haven't been showing you my little makes just in case some members of my family see, and then they will know what to expect Winter Solstice morning, so i shall show you after the celebrations have finished.......however  there is one little make that i can share with you right now, and this is...

.....Elsie.....

 

....isn't she cute....Elsie is my first attempt at Amigurumi, i have never really been drawn to having a go before, and then i saw this little doll in one of my back issues of Mollie Makes, and thought ,ok, lets have a go....and do you know,  i really really enjoyed making her, in fact i have orders at work from some of my colleagues to make some for there Grand children.....my head is full of ideas to maybe re-adapt the pattern a little, perhaps make her a little longer limbed......lots of ideas forming....

 

....she does have a little mouth, in case you were wondering if there is one there, it just hasn't shown up in the photo....

 

...i added a little bow to her hair which wasn't in the pattern, made from beautiful soft 4 ply Alpaca yarn....

 

 

 

....Ahhhh little Elsie, you are so cute....

 

 

....i like here curly wurly swizzly hair....

 

 

.....and here's the new yarn that i have bought, i got some intentionally for crocheting flowers and butterflies etc for using as decorations on things, and most of these patterns call for 4 ply yarn....

 

 

....yummy...

 

 

....so after i finished Elsie, i just needed to start the next one, so here it is so far....

 

....and no....its not an apple or a pair before you ask....

....i will show you what it is when its all finished....

 

 

.....and in between all this Amiguruming, i have still found oddments of time to make more squares for my blanket.....

 

 

.....oh i am loving this blanket so much.....

 

.....lots of Granny square loveliness....

 

 

 

 

 

.....i think this one will definatly be going on my bed when its finished....

 

.....cheery bye for now....
