{made} — Kotori the Owl.
LOVE using my handspun for this cute little owl. I didn’t have safety eyes that were big enough, so found some fun buttons to use instead… think the yellow matches good and I liked their shape.
Pattern can be found here.
{made} — Lu-Lu the bear.
Lu-Lu is a crochet bear for the Mother Bear Project. They are a great organization helping thousands of kids around the world who are affected by HIV/AIDS. People can knit or crochet up a bear, send it in to the project, and they mail them out all over the world. You can purchase the pattern from the Mother Bear Project for 5 dollars, they will mail you a physical copy of the pattern, and you send in your bear with 3 dollars when you are done to help with the cost of shipping them out overseas. We are collecting the bears at the shop, Wildfiber, to send in… she is the first of many I’ll be making.
I used some handspun yarn for the bear, and added a skirt and a little rose flower on the top of the dress to match the ruffle.
{made} — octavio and violet.
What a fun knit! I could make a zillion of these cute octopuses! Instead of buttons I used safety eyes since one was a present for a child. The eyes were pretty small so some white felt was hand sewn underneath. The crochet legs also worked up speedy quick.
You could make your own little octopus, or ten! The pattern is available for free on ravelry.
