Today’s toy is a knitted and crocheted bird. I am still trying to use up the plush yarn from Joann. Since I am running out of the red, I striped both coconut and chili pepper colors for the bird.

Today’s toy is a crocheted frog. Design by Sweet softies. Using Red Heart speckle and a 2.5 mm hook, this frog turned out small enough to be a keychain. I will make some using plush yarn so they will be bigger.
Today’s toy is a crocheted elephant lovey. Design by Craftingintx, but I used the ears from Loopsandlovecrochet.com. Using Loops and Threads sweet snuggles lite, Bernat blanket, and hook sizes 4.5 and 6 mm, I wanted the elephant’s trunk to be pointing up. That was accomplished. Loveys are a joy to make.
