Breakfast

As I mentioned in this post, my sister asked me to make some food for her to use as a birthday gift.  I just recently finished this:

Fried egg, bacon and toast with butter.  I plan on making a pattern for this available, however I am going to try and tweak the bread a bit first =)

Crochet Fries & Shake

After seeing my Crochet Hamburger sitting there so lonely, I decided it needed something else…and what better to go with a hamburger than fries?  Then of course a shake to rinse it all down =)

This pattern is available for $3.25 and can be purchased and directly downloaded on my Patterns page or through my Ravelry Store.

Look What I Just Found!

I just made a great discovery for anyone new to crocheting or to amigurumi style crochet (working in continuous rounds).  Hooks and Needles has some great tutorials on things like deciphering crochet code commonly used in patterns, video tutorials on increasing, decreasing and crocheting continuous rounds.  It’s a great resource!  So, if you’ve found yourself staring longingly at some of those really cute patterns but figured you could never do it in a million years…here’s your chance!  The great thing about amigurumi style crochet is that once you master a few basic tricks, you can do just about any of it =)

Crochet Tea Set Pattern

I had intended to make my next pattern a free one, but my sister asked me to make a tea set to give away as a gift. I figured I’d make a tea set pattern some day, so why not now?

The pattern is available in my Etsy shop as well as my new Ravelry shop.  Just click the pretty little button below and you will be able to purchase and immediately download the pattern (without having to wait for me to email it to you…awesome, eh?)
