Not just crochet!

I occasionally set down my crochet hook--I know, gasp!--and pick up knitting needles or embroidery needles. Here are some other projects I have worked on this winter.

I've made some "Melt The Ice" hats, one for myself, and some to hand out to others. For the history of the hat, and a pattern to make your own, see THIS PAGE in Ravelry.

Here's a cross stitch pattern I designed and made for The Leftist Marching Band, a fun, activist band, based in Portsmouth, NH.

Declan the Deer--fifth in a series of Woodland Creatures

Here's Declan the Deer, who is the fifth and final amigurumi in the Woodland Creatures series which began in the winter 2024 issue of Crochet World. 

Each amigurumi has its own outfit, and will fit any of the others. I hope you enjoy making these as much as I enjoyed designing them!

Fred the Fox--fourth in a series of Woodland Creatures

 

 

Fred is fourth in a series of 5 woodland-inspired amigurumi dolls, complete with little outfits, that will be appearing in consecutive issues of Crochet World magazine. All animals will have the same body, so clothing for each--jackets, skirts, vests, etc.--will fit any of the animals.

Barrett the Bear--first in a series of woodland creatures

Introducing the first in a series of woodland creatures: Barrett the Bear. 

The rest of the amigurumi patterns will be featured in the next four issues of Crochet World after this one. They will all have the same body, and will be able to wear each other's clothing--jackets, skirts, scarves, etc. I made them with Lion Brand Color Theory, a soft yarn in amazing colors. I think you'll like making all of them!
