This is a great way to use up scraps and would make great little presents!
As usual the colours are a little brighter in real life.
Here is where I found the great free pattern.

I sat staring at my nekkid tape measure and decided to cover it with a cookie.

This is the first time I have done any hand sewing or any embroidery.
The book opens to hold needles and buttons.
I made it for a swap along with a crocheted cupcake pincushion.

I made this for a V-day swap along with a felt covered tape measure
and a needlebook from felt.

I was surprised at how easy and fast these were to make.
They were also easy to adjust to get a nice fit.
I love this yarn so these will be my 'good' pair but I will also make another in
a washable blend to use while walking my dogs or feeding the birds, etc.


I just realized that I didn't link to the free pattern...

I finally finished my first afghan...the images are done in tunisian.

Well I had to adjust this pattern quite a bit because my teapot is smaller
but I am really  happy with my first attempt especially since I am a beginner.

I didn't have the right yarn so worked with what I had.
I would like to make more for Christmas presents.
Hopefully my technique will improve with each one.

I love this pouch...finally got around to making myself one and I use it all the time.
I added a small flower on top.
Thanks so much for this pattern!
I'll definitely make more of these!

Well I wasn't going to post my dragon until I got beads for his eyes but this may take a while
as I have no transportation at the moment so here he is.
My sons (19 and 23) really like him.
Thanks for the wonderful pattern! I love him!

Eelita, she is really cute so far....did you end up giving her a little
cosmetic surgery to her head?

I went ahead and made the mouse, I figured it was a good first project anyways.
Is there still interest in this Amigurumi-along? (not sure how these CAL work)
