A Gift for my Father

I made this for my dad because it kind of represented a parent-child relationship and my father's favorite color is this blue.


What do you think?

Nessie

Although it looks simple, this is by far the hardest pattern I have ever followed. However, every single creature in this book is adorable and worth making.

Crocheted Dinosaur Hungry for Thanksgiving Pie

Hi I'm Pi the Dinosaur. I'm smart and intelligent even with my tiny dinosaur brain, and I love pie! It's funny, I'm Pi who loves Pie!!!!






Note from my mother:
Hey everybody! Happy Thanksgiving to you all! One thing that is very special about Pi is that he is very earth-friendly and was made with soft yarn and clean scraps of socks and fabric. 

Tell me what you think!

Does This Monster Kind of Remind You of Pikachu?

This monster took me a really long time, but here's a knitting tip: alternating colors when knitting really helps count the number of rows you have knitted!

My Bloomed Corn Caterpillar

Although I had to endure the many teases from my father about my first crochet project looking like a piece of corn, I can modestly say that I am pleased with my very first crochet project.

I think the wings might be too small but...tell meh what u think!

Rock & Roll & Recycle!

A few months ago, I made a goal to try and make my knitting as environmentally friendly as I could by taking old materials, and reusing them in my knitting. For example, instead of buying stuffing at the store (wasting some gas and plastic), I use scraps from sewing projects. Also, I try to buy my yarn at used stores like SCRAP in Portland, Oregon.
This is a pile of some of the fabric scraps I use as stuffing!

Help keep our planet healthy!!! IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE :)

The Belly Button Monster


             Hi I'm the belly button monster. People call me B.B. or Criss-Cross for short. I have a uniquely adorable belly button that defines who I am. I'm not a scary monster, but I'm a creature that is so cute, that my harmless characteristic of a belly button will follow your thoughts.   Sincerely, THE Belly Button Monster

Tell me what you think!-Nadya

My First Post, My First Creation

I first learned how to knit when I was around the age of eight and on vacation in Vermont with my family. Cooped up in a big blue house for a few summer weeks with my two sisters and mother, I didn't have that much of a choice but to turn to the big chunky kids knitting kit I had received from my parents. In fifth grade, I was put in a class with a teacher who would latter change me as not only as a student, but also turn me into the knitchick I am today. This teacher provided my classmates and I with various colors of yarn during reading time, and personally introduced me to the world of amigurimi with a koala project that I still to this day, never finished. Before, I had knitted many scarves, embroidering names of friends onto them as Christmas presents and birthday gifts.
This post is about my "real" first amigurimi creation that I finished on my first pair of double-pointed needles.
