🦒🦒Jamie the Giraffe🦒🦒 Decided to make this using some super chunky yarn from my stash. This was a very fun project as I love how the stitching looks. And I finally found a good reason to use the super large eyes in my stash as well. Legit the largest animal I’ve made to date as Jamie is 15inches tall 👏🏾👏🏾 Pattern is by and her book Amigurumi Plushies.

Wips Stash Granny Square Bag Update!!! So I’ve decided to go with my original plan of making the squares into a bag. So far so good. I’ve applied a flat slip stitch and what I’m calling a pinch slip stitch to the base and sides of the bag. Now debating on whether to use the remaining squares to make the strap OR crochet the straps using single crochets 🤔💭🤔🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Made some granny squares some time ago and I finally got a blocking board so I can flatten them out. Considering this is my 1st time doing so, I think they came out pretty well. The squares are made of acrylic yarn so I was sure to be careful as not to melt my squares lol Now to get the remaining squares blocked. 🥰🙃🥰

Reading is fundamental!! Who said reading is just for humans?? 🥰🥰 Made these two a while ago and decided to give them some cute glasses for a little razzle dazzle 🤓👓🥸 I used a photo edit app to add the background but both were crocheted by me 🥰🥰

Bailey the Bee!! This is yet another chunky yarn creation as I’m working my way thru my yarn stash. Think I’m down the the “odd” colors lol. Dare I say I’m getting the hang of using this type of yarn. But I still prefer thinner yarn as I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing the detailed stitching 🥰💃🏿🥰 Pattern is by Theresa Kicher and her book Amigurumi Plushies 👏🏾👏🏾

Introducing Maxine Grimaldi. Maxine is a new doll base I recently finished. Pattern is by of which I love their work. I’m so pleased with the hair and love love love the color 😍😍 Thankful to have found a pattern that’s not ai generated 🤦🏾‍♀️ 🤦🏾‍♀️ This pattern was very well written and easy to understand. Can tell an actual person who crochets created it 👏🏾👏🏾. Anywho, now to work on an outfit for Maxine 🤔🤔🤔.

Still working thru my chunky yarn stash. When I finished Mr Owl (the brown one), I had to immediately make him a friend I’ve named Carl 🥰 This was very fun to make and gave me all the nostalgia feels 🥰🥰 Pattern is by Theresa Kicher and her book Amigurumi Plushies.

Chunky Yarn Challenge! Working to see how many animals I can create using nothing but chunky yarn from my stash. Switchin it up between projects to keep things entertaining 👏🏾👏🏾 So far so good imo 🤷🏾‍♀️🙃🥰 While I did use a photo app to add cool backgrounds to my pics, the crochet work was done by me 🥰🥰

This is Pauline the Puffin. I love my Amigurumi BUT this one tested my patience for real lol. This was a very challenging stuffie to create. Mainly because this was my 1st time using chenille yarn for an entire piece. Not being able to see nor count my stitches drove me bonkers lol. BUT I got it done. Lol. Pattern is from Amigurumi Made Easy by Mariska Vos-Balman. Soo glad this is complete 👏🏾😑🙃😑👏🏾
