Brown/Black Bear Crochet Trophy Head

So here is my next crochet trophy head. He was really hard to make as I was trying to use up the yarn I had at home rather than going out and buying more. Unfortunately, this meant I had to use three strands of fluffy yarn together and then I ran out so I had to use a different colour.

Hare Crochet Trophy Head

I am still going! The hare is the second head I made and by far the trickiest so far. I don't know if that is because I had had little experience or because he is so much smaller than the others. However, saying that he is my favourite one so far.

Ram Crochet Trophy Head

I posted yesterday and I can now reveal that it is the chin of the lion in the same book that I made this ram from by Vanessa Mooncie. He was great fun to make, I particularly love the way the horns came together.

Any Guesses?

Anyone know what this is going to be?

Crochet Zebra Trophy Head - Safety first!

My zebra took a little road trip.

Zebra Crochet Trophy Head

I have finished! I love him! He is rather larger than I thought he would be.

Zebra Crochet Trophy Head STILL in the Making.

Well, I am almost there! I have all the pieces crocheted and I am ready to start assembling my zebra.

Zebra Crochet Trophy Head in the Making

I am slowly working my way through the Crochet Trophy Head book written by Vanessa Mooncie. I have still only finished the mouse completely. I have bits of the hare, ram and bear to finish. I am sure I will get there in the end. I am loving following the patterns now that I am fully used to how they are written and understand how the heads work up. The picture shows me mid-way shaping the back of the zebra's head.

Crochet Problems!

Does anyone else have this problem? I will have to go out and buy a few new cushions! Darth Vader was bigger than I thought.

 

Crochet Trophy Heads

I received this fantastic book for Christmas and I am totally obsessed with it. So far I have made the hare, mouse, ram and I am now on the bear. When I first started I felt like I was a beginner, I had not done any amigurumi for a long time and switching back to having to count stitches took a bit of getting used to. I have to say I have yet to complete any of the heads I have made, I will get round to it at some point.

 

Blocking my Virus Shawl

A slow Sunday in my house, so I decided to finish off and block my Virus Shawl. The pattern I used can be found HERE . I used King Cole Riot, the shade is called 409 Funky.

Tunisian Wingspan Crochet Scarf

I made this Tunisian Wingspan Crochet Scarf quite a while ago and it is the most used scarf  I have ever made. Once you get your head around the pattern and the stitches it works up really quickly. The
free pattern I used can be found HERE

Yarnbombing in Argentina

My Mum and Dad are in Argentina on holiday and came across this. I want to do one in my garden now! This photo was taken in Bariloche.

Christmas Crochet Character Afgan

I am so pleased I came across this pattern for the Christmas Crochet Character Afgan . It has taken many hours but it is finally done and I am so pleased with it. I decided to a a crochet bobble border, which also took a very long time. The pattern can be found HERE

Two and Half Months in the Making!

So, my biggest project ever has taken me just over two and a half months. Everyone in my house has gone to bed and I had to share. I know many of you will understand what it is from my sneak preview! I will take photos tomorrow.

Crochet Alpine Shawl

I made this crochet alpine shawl a while back and thought I would finally blog it. Back in March I bought the yarn to make this shawl from Etsy, the link for the shop is HERE.
It took 300g to make, it turned out to be rather enormous (which I love), it measures approximately 2m by 1m.
I pinned it up on the cabin wall to take a photo, I think it may stay there for a while, it looks great as a wall hanging. This is the pattern I used to make it PATTERN
