A few days ago I saw a pattern from Lion Brand website. I was really interested in it. My daughter Katie did too, so picked up my crochet hook again to crochet another amigurumi! I can't help it, it's too much fun! I have tons of Caron Simply Soft Brites yarns, I picked up black and mango (like orange) and started my new project. It didn't take long for me to crochet all the parts but it took me forever to sew them up. This is the worst part of amis. I just don't like sewing much! :P Details: Crochet hook: F/4mm Yarn: Caron Simply Soft Brites Eyes: 9mm hand-painted eyes (hot pink color) Nose: 10mm oval eye Pattern: Click here please

Are these little critters cute? I think Etsian artists really rock! Etsy is full of talented people indeed. Now these bunch of critters are all handmade by Nina! Isn't she great? These are all original designs by her. She sell these in her etsy store. These animals are so cuddly, I think that's why her etsy store named cuddlet.etsy.com. She is not only selling animals, she has these PDF tutorials about making these lovely soft toys too!! I like her creatures. They are very colorful. You will smile and happy when you are cuddling these animals I am sure! :) More information you can go to her website directly: Cuddlet.com.

I spent a few days to crochet this frog. It's not as easy as I thought! I mean it's easy to crochet each part, but to make its eyes like frog isn't that easy at all. I have positioned them in different locations, but they made the frog look like angry mob! haha! So finally I have placed the safety eyes in horizontal position and they look more friendly and realistic looking that way. Anyway, I am still learning how to make amigurumi looks cute, so this is not a bad try at all. Turn out after stuffing this frog, it look like the "HULK" so I am going to name him "HULK the frog". :P Pattern of this frog is came from Kristieskids from Etsy.

I used a whole month on and off to knit this "honey bunny". I don't care whether it looks like a bunny or doggie, I love it. It's so cute! I love the fact that I learn so many knitting skills on this project, I am so happy but hubby gives me so many advices to improve the face expression, seriously, I have no idea how it knows so much about animals!! :) Anyway, I finished my first knitting project and very glad about it! :)

Installation of Safety Eyes Instruction
By Clara (6060.etsy.com & 6060eyes.artfire.com)


4. Holding the washer fluted side up, slide it on to the eye post.
If you use the little black safety eyes, installation will be the same as the 15 mm eyes. Remember to MAKE SURE the eye is in the right place. Push the washer fluted side up towards to the back of the eye.
This is the finished look of a 6mm black eye installed as a cat nose!
With all the parts together, my cat finally can see and smell.
I hope this document helps you to understand how to put the eyes on your critters and creations. Thank you and enjoy!

This is the first crochet kitty cat I did since I knew the crochet basic. I got the pattern from here. It is a very cute and good size cat. When I finished the last stitches and handed it to Evie. She was extremely happy. She hugged it and kissed it. The cat seemed very happy too. See! She winks to every one!! Now I am crocheting another black kitty cat and it will be a gift to my mother-in-law. She got many black cats in the past and they all got old and left her. I think a black kitty cat is just what she needs.
