Meet Iggy (aka Chichi) and Sally

Hi everyone!

Today I have a couple gifts I made for my grandchildren.

Let me introduce you to Iggy and Sally.

This is Iggy the Iguana.  I'm told that he was promptly

renamed Chichi by Asher, but I don't know if that name stuck.

I usually make these amigurumi critters with worsted 

weight yarn, but decided to use 

Bernat blanket yarn that I had in my stash.

This yarn is very soft, but since it is a thicker yarn,

the animals come out considerably larger.

I'm guessing Iggy is about 18" long.

This is Sally the shark.
I made her for Marie and I think she may have 

kept her name.

Sally is also about 18" long.

Here is a picture of Marie with Sally.

I used patterns from 
Crochet Cute Critters: 26 Easy Amigurumi Patterns

This book was a gift from Jaryd and Sara, so I could

make stuffies for the kids and I love making them.

I think I've made about half the animals so far.

Thanks for stopping by today.
I hope you have enjoyed your time here and got inspired

in some way.
Come again soon,

you never know what you'll see on

Kristie Kreates.

Hat and Mittens

Hi everyone!

Today I have a hat and mitten set that I made

for Marie.  I had some left over yarn from the slippers that

I made for Christmas gifts and decided to 

see what I could do with it for Marie.

So I flew by the seat of my pants and guesstimated

on how to make them and the size and they turned our

really cute.

 I love how they turned out and they are nice

and soft and warm for her.

I used Bernat Blanket yarn and an N crochet hook

Does she look too cute or what?

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have been

inspired in some way.

Come again soon,

until then,

try something new and different.

Slippers

Hi everybody!

Welcome and thanks for stopping by.

The last several months I've really gotten back to

crocheting and knitting.

For Christmas I made several pairs of slippers.

I used THIS pattern, she even has a step by step

video that shows how to make them.

I know, in the pictures they look kind of fat and 

clumsy, but once they are on, they aren't at all.

I used a variety of Bernat Blanket yarn which is

very soft and easy to work with.

After giving them to my daughter and daughter in law

for Christmas, my son and husband said they would like

some too.
So out came the yarn and I made them for the guys too.

For the guys I just stopped sooner and didn't 

add the boot part, they stopped at the ankle.

I also used this pattern with worsted wt. yarn and a 

smaller hook to make some for my granddaughter,

which I showed in a previous post.

If you are a crochet fan, I hope you'll give these a try.

They are pretty simple to make and are done

very quickly, I can easily make a pair while watching

TV in the evening.

I hope you'll come again soon,

you never know what you'll find on 

Kristie Kreates!
