Today’s toy is a crocheted cat. My design. Using Premier Bloom chenille yarn and 4.5 mm hook, I wanted to see if the yarn shedded with crochet as badly as knitting. Yes, it does.

Today’s toy is a crocheted gnome. This time it is the snowflake gnome. Design by Kristi Simpson.

Today’s toy is a crocheted turtle. Design by Lauren Espy. Using Knit Picks Dishie, acrylic minis from Amazon, and a 2.5 mm hook, turtles are so fun to make. I put a floral stone in each foot. This turtle sits beside me in the living room.
