Look, I made an elephant

This is the unforgettable elephant pattern from S.E.W. Everything Workshop

I think it came out not too bad. I decided against adding eyes -- the busy paisley print makes eyes a little too much. And I think my handstitching needs improvement (not pictured, but it's on the top of the elephant). I am thinking about gifting this to the yoga studio I started going to. They just opened, and elephants are all good luck and whatnot.

little hedgehog

This was made as an xmas present for a friend who is fond of hedgehogs. The pattern came from Amigurumi: Seriously Cute Crochet.
I thought he came out OK and with a funky little hedge hairstyle.

Duck and Baby Blanket

I made these two for a Secret Santa gift swap organized among a few women on the pregnancy forum I frequent.

The blanket came out all crooked, I thought, likely because I wasn't very vigilant about counting my stitches. But it looked nicer once I had finished washing it (to soften up the acryllic) and finished the edging and added the ribbon.

The duck was easier than I expected, only I wish I had used safety eyes instead of lamely attempting to embroider the eyes on.





The patterns were:

Smaller Ugly Duckling
