She really does! And it was easy to follow too!!

I have a 2 years old godson and he his obsessed with Mario Bros. So his mother asked me to make him a Mario amigurumi!

I had found that pattern from Wolf Dreamer a year or so ago, so I made it! (http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.ca/2009/08/mario-plushie.html)

Here he is! He's not perfect, but I still love him!

Wow! That is so cool looking.  I've been wanting to make an afghan for the loooongest time, but I'm too chicken to take on such a commitment.  I'm afraid that I will make twenty or so little squares/hexagons and then never finish.  One day I will muster the courage.  Hats off to ya!

Well the idea is to start with 20 or so squares, and then you can put it away. And a couple of weeks/months later you pick it up and make 20 more square, and so on, so in the end, you have a afghan, even if it takes a year! Well, that's my way to do it personnally I rarely do a big project all at the same time, I usually have to take a break or two somewhere! 

I'm trying to picture how you crochet with only one hand, it must be very difficult to do. 

Well I use the other hand to hold the project The reason why I don't crochet properly is because I learned myself from a pattern that had a "how to crochet" section. It had pictures of the position of hook and yarn, but not the position of the hands! Since I'm primarily a knitter, I just did as I do when I knit! It's only a while later that I observed a friend crocheting and I was like "OMG, how do you go so fast?!" But I couldn't unlearn the way I was doing it!

This is the biggest project I ever crocheted ... EVER! I don't know if I'll ever have the patience to undertake a project that big again... but again, if the pattern is beautiful...   

It took me so long because I crochet really slow, like really! I crochet holding my hook and yarn in the same hand so I have to let go of the hook every time I yarn over... long story short, crochet takes forever with me. 

This is "My great-granma 'ghan" or something like that from Crochet today. 96 hexagons in 8 different colors mixed and matched! (And it matches the painting I made that's on my wall).


Here is the afghan on my floor, to show the complete look. As you can see a little bit, I didn't weave in ends, but since it stays on the back of my couch, nobody knows! 


Here is another picture with me on the afghan! And you can see the mess of another project in the background


I'm very proud of that one!

These are two shawls I made, one last summer and one that I finished a couple of weeks ago! 

This is a simple triangular shawl, it has some parts with yarn overs, as you can see and some "full" parts. 


This one is smaller and made from yarn that I bought in Finland (and it's Finnish yarn with some variations in the yellow, very pretty!) It has a little bit of a pattern, one row out of 16 is purl on the knit side.


Here you can see the shape and pattern a little bit better!

Wow, those are awesome! My favorites are the pop tarts, awesome! 

That's sooo cute! Made me giggle!

First picture : "Oww they are cute!" Second picture: "OMG, they have shoes!!!!!!" I just loooooooooooooooooo ove the shoes and the stuffies themselves are awesome! I want one

Love this! Canada rocks!
