Completed: Whale

Photo taken using Hazel’s Canon 60D EF 18mm f/1.8 II

Since discovering the world of amigurumi, I have somehow entertained the idea of making a whale someday. So upon stumbling upon Freshstitches’ whale pattern, I decided to make it.

I chose pink because pink whales do exist in the fairytale realm. There are pink dolphins, why not pink whales then?

This is one of the many things I love about crocheting amigurumi. I enjoy the flexibility of creation and really, the sky is the limit. Nothing is too wacky or crazy to be made into an amigurumi.

Completed: Peyton Bear

Say hi to Peyton Bear, my first attempt with variegated yarn. I was really inspired to try the variegated yarn on the bear after I saw the beautiful colours of the pattern designer’s (Cheryl) bear. Mine does not look as good as her colour combination but all the same, I love the effects of the variegated yarn.

As mentioned, this is my first time using variegated yarn and it was a pretty exciting thing since you literally, do not have control over the colour of your final project. This would make every project of the same design somewhat different. If I were to make another Peyton Bear with the same variegated yarn colour, perhaps its legs would have more shades of blue instead of grey and white. Get my point?

Completed: April Tissue Case

If you have been following my blog, you would have read that I had gotten some cotton yarn from my aunt who used to crochet. You might call me a silly-billy for saying this but I really did not know what I could do with the cotton yarn since I crochet mostly amigurumi.

So when the test thread for the gorgeous April Tissue Case hit the Free Pattern Testers group on Ravelry, I knew I had found my use for the cotton yarn. I signed up to test and making the tissue case was a really rewarding experience.

Feature: Gift Pocket Bear & Super Hero Teddy Bear

In this post, I am really happy to present not one but TWO features of my recently completed projects on Ravelry.

The first feature would be the Gift Pocket Bear. Thank you SO much to the awesome Marie Segares from Underground Crafter for the feature.

The second feature would be the Super Hero Teddy Bear. Much thanks to Meghan Bomberger for the feature.

All these features on Ravelry mean so much to me. It is like the ultimate acknowledgement of my crocheting efforts and (as I would like to think of it as this) also my attempts at photography.

Thank you so much!

Till the next project. xoxo

Completed: Super Hero Teddy Bear

Updated on 21/4/2012: Link to pattern now available.

Meet Super Hero Teddy Bear! He is the bear-y counterpart of the real Superman though with a paunchy stomach.

When the Super Hero Teddy Bear turned up in the Ravelry forums, my fingers worked as though they had minds of their own and signed up for the pattern test. The bear even has the features of the classic Superman ie the curly hair.
