Lately I've been crocheting more than knitting. Weird, no? I've done a few granny squares, and I think I'll turn them into an afghan. It's so much quicker than knitting.

Anyway, I found a pattern for a doll, and it was so great I had to make it. (do all my crafting stories begin like this?) I had no skin colour though, so she's green. The pattern is Free Spirit Amigurumi Doll by Beth. I think she'll be a nature spirit/dryad type of thing. Anyway, she still needs eyelids and hair and clothes, and her head needs to be sewed on, but this is she:



And just because, a picture of my eye. I now do not know what colour my eyes are. Blue-green-yellow? I guess that adds up to green, but it's more complex than that. Ah well. (Ignore the wrinkly skin. I think that's just from dryness (I HOPE!))

Bo-Peep gloves

A little under a year ago I found a pattern (bo-peep glove pattern) for these beautiful lace fingerless gloves, which I just had to knit. I used a bamboo yarn of some sort. (I lost the label since I bought it a year ago) Finally this month I actually made them. They were a bit tricky, and the pattern had a lot of errata in it, but I figured it out anyway. The gloves are pretty but impractical. Perhaps suitable for... a tea party? I don't know.

DRAGON!

He's got a body and arms! Progress is going slow, but well. I've designed the wing, I just need to make another and stitch them on.
