Today’s toy is a pot of crocheted succulents. Design by Lauren Espy. Using many different greens I had on hand and a 3 mm hook, this was a tedious one. I liked making the prickly parts of the large cactus. I thought about adding a flower as well. Not my favorite.
Today’s toy is a crocheted candy holder in the shape of an eyeball. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket yarn and a 4.5 mm hook, this looks like an eye. Black, then purple, then white. I probably won’t make many of these. I added red on the last round with spike stitches to represent veins.

I am terrified of birds in real life but I enjoy watching them and seeing all the different shapes. The yarn is Red Heart super saver in goldenrod and orange cotton from stash….
