Pikachu!

For my grandson Jo. 

Here's where I got the pattern:

Wolfdreamer

Flip Dolls

This are the cute little "flip" dolls I made for our 3 3year old girl cousins. I used a pattern I bought from  Maggie Weldon's website, using a variety of yarn, mostly acrylic, but some cotton. The original pattern was for Cinderella, and I adapted it for Snow White and Tiana. 

Crazy Big Loopy Bear

I made this bear using Peaches and Creme worsted weight cotton ombré yarn (Purple Petunia) and a pattern from this Dover craft book: Crocheted Toys and Dolls

Not sure which grandkid is getting this one, it's a little big (20") and crazy. And loopy. :)

Pond Friends Stacking Toy

I made this stacking toy for a friend of ours, who had a baby not too long ago. The pattern was free at Lion Brand, which has a lot of great patterns, besides having some nice yarn. It doesn't take very much yarn to make, so I just used whatever yarn I could find in my stash.

This little guy is supposed to be a frog, but my grandson Josiah calls it a snake, which fits with the "pond" theme, so I'll just let it go at that.

The base should have been blue, with green lily pads, but I did it wrong and didn't want to do it over. So it's a green pond with blue and pink lily pads.

This little guy is a dragon fly.

This is a lady bug. I think I like they way this one came out the best.

Lucky Lamb

I made this for my daughter-in-law Nicole, who wanted it for a little girl she knows who loves lambs. I got the pattern out of a book called Crocheted Toys and Dolls, by Susan Verkest. It uses a loop stitch that I have never done before but I like the way it came out.
