The stuffie invasion on our sofa has grown.
There are Chad and Brad. My two Owls that have made lots of new friends on the sofa. They were both part of a kit that I was given last Christmas called "Crochet Momma and Baby Owl Amigurumi Kit" by Amy Gaines, which you can still purchase in her crochet pattern collection on Etsy.
We have Sushi Cat, who joined the others. Sushi Cat was inspired by a game and I made up the pattern.
Some stuffies have left home and gone on journeys. Most of them now live down the road. There is for example Lizzy. The scary deep sea angler fish. That was a Christmas present. She was made from a pattern by Hansi Singh published in "Amigurumi Knits".
And there is Joe. A very friendly shark that really only looks scary. His pattern can be found in "More KnitWits" by Katie Boyette.
Two of my stuffies even moved to Manhattan where they live close to Times Square now. They are both modified versions of the "Man dressing up doll" pattern by Phoenixknits, which can be purchased on Ravelry.
Otherwise my time has been taken up by tons of sock knitting. Most of them are Cookie A. patterns from her book "Knit.Sock.Love". In fact, I love knitting her socks so much that I now own her first book "Sock Innovation" as well. And I have joined her sock club for 2012. I finished Monkey, Mona, Hedera, Rhombus, Stricken (all on the pickture), as well as BFF, one Twisted Flower, and I just started Cusp... Then, of course, there were many Vanilla Socks, and After-thought heel socks.... So the Sock-bug bit me and I have not stopped knitting them...
I am sure there has been plenty of knitting that I am simply forgetting about. Shawls, hats, mittens, gloves, Christmas Stockings... all the good stuff that I may share in a different post. You never know. Hopefully, I will not abandon this blog again for so long. But life is what happens while you are making other plans so we will just take it one post at a time...
