Amigurumi- Dolphin

I have been searching free patterns for Dolphins on the web. Didn't come across anything. So. I started crocheting as by now I have fair idea about the increase and decrease. I haven't written the pattern in detail, but defintely note down few.

Amigurumi-fish

I kind of like fish a lot. So, I am a fishitarian.lol

I tried this fish from the free patterns available at the blog below. She has really really amazing stuff in her blog. I wish I could crochet as beautiful as her. I have learned crochet when I was in school, but never made anything out of that. Actually when I started reading patterns, it blew my head away. But once, I got a hang of what its written, its quite simple. he he. http://mygurumi.blogspot.com/2008/11/chubby-fish-pattern.html

Amigurumi-Daisy

I came across the daisy, oswald amigurumi toys, unfortunately there was no free pattern available. And for an amateur like me, its very difficult to create the pattern.
Smartly, I have searched the web for a flower pattern and fortunately came across a beautiful pattern. So, I took inspirationa from this pattern. Except I made the pistil bigger as I need to have eyes, nose and lips for Daisy. http://mygurumi.blogspot.com/2008/07/flower-pot-downloadable.html. She has quite amazing free patterns.
Legs, body and hands are just imagined and kept crocheting. The end result is good. Without a pattern, I must say..I am happy.

Ninja-Amigurumi

I came across this free pattern Ninja and instantly started working as I am sure Pratham will love to have a ninja in his collection. As I have started crocheting recently, so very limited colours of wool. I will go this weekend to buy lotsa of wool.
The inspiration came from the site, http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=209461.0
I have to join crafster now..:)

My first amigurumi Doll...!

I made this doll but I am not too happy as the cuteness is missing. I will try again with a smaller hook and thread. Probably that may help..

I think..I am just not good with figures..be it photography, painting, toys ..I remember, even during my childhood, whenever I made dolls..they never came out cute..They looked just like me..ha ha..

That is the reason why I love painting scenaries, flowers. That is the reason why I love clicking scenes and flowers again. And that is the reason why I love making animals rather than dolls..too Bad..

anyways..always room for improvement.

This pattern is again from Lionbrand site

Amigurumi-----bunny

My fourth project in a span of about 10 days, hmmmm...I am happy with myself. :) After about couple of more projects, I should be able to design my own patterns. Till now, I have been working on the free patterns available on Web.

My Bunny, which is loved the most and so far the best finished amigurumi. Here is a pic.
This pattern is again from Lionbrand site..:)

Amigurumi- Elephant

I am just loving this new found art, I must say....Japanese arts are addictive. I have come across this art recently about a week ago and here I am with my third project...:) . Internet has lots of freebies for amigurumi and I am surely going to try each and every pattern.

As I have a son, I tend to make more boys stuff then girls..however girls choice are always more adorable. The moment I have started making this tiny elephant, my son is been checking my progress...enthusiasm..I must say!!. This is a free pattern I came across in lionbrand site under crochet free patterns..

Finally, a pic for you ...:)

Amigurumi....

Amigurumi- Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting small animals or toys. The dolls are done in single crochet in the round. The rounds are never joined, instead being worked in a spiral. Amigurumi are made up of parts that are crocheted, stuffed, and sewn together. The parts are usually an over-sized round head, a cylindrical body, arms and legs, ears, tail (if needed) and embellishments. Sometimes, felt is used to create the ears, face, or nose. Felt can also make some pretty cute embellishments.

I have just starting this art of making toys by crocheting, my first project was the tortoise..I am now making a gollo mollo..I don't know what it is and how its going to turn out. I have made a body, a tail, 2 ears and 2 hands and a tummy...
I think..I have used a smaller hook and thats the reason its looking a little stiff..anyways..learning on the way. I still have to find eyes and cotton to stuff. After the final touchover..I will upload the pic soon...Keep waiting..
I am not going to upload the pic. The finish product is gifted before I realiase I still have to click a pic to share here...

Crochet Tortoise..

Browse through the net..and you will come across so many beautiful toys made by crocheting. Ths weekend I couldn't stop myself from trying my hand at making one. One such pattern I came across is the tortoise pattern..its very simple and looks lovely..if anybody wants the pattern, pls let me know..i will happily share the link..:-).

The end result for a first timer is good..:) and Pratham just loves to play and whenever he show this tortoise.. he hides the head....he he..Will try different colours...

Leg Warmer- part of winter passion! :-)

I wanted to waer a nice colourful leg warmer when I went for the new year celebration near the mountains. As usual..very much me...:-) I could complete only one peice when we left for the vacation. After coming back from vacation, I didn't even have to time to look at the next leg warmer as there were lots of pending works from office...my birthday celebration...on and on..Finally around mid-jan I could finish the second peice. So here it goes..
