Today’s toy is a crocheted octopus. Design by Darling Maple Designs. Using Bernat blanket, Premier just chenille, and a 4.5 mm hook, this is a black version of the octopus like a kraken.

Today’s toy is a crocheted whale. Design by Lauren Espy. Using scrap yarn, I know that I made socks with it, so it is a fingering weight. Using 2 mm hook, it was fun to make. My husband asked if bears were my favorite to make. I said birds, but I also like the sea…
Today’s toy is a crocheted ballerina doll. This is a pattern on Etsy by @workroomjulialitvin. Using Hobbii’s 8/4 cotton and Hobby Lobby’s Soft Secret in pink, this was a wonderful pattern and I love the hair. The ruffle is around the top instead of only on the sleeves.
