My knitting projects and designs
Today’s toy is a knitted bear. I unraveled two squares I had crocheted in the variegated yarn and black. These squares were supposed to look like stained glass, but mine didn’t look that way. I would not have done anything with them, so rip it, rip it, rip it! This yarn is never ending! I…
crochet and knit hearts today. I used patterns and made up patterns for many different sizes of hearts to put into a bouquet for my sister, display on my entertainment center and give as gifts to family. Different yarns were used, just any white, pink, red, or purple I had on hand. Sometimes I used…
I have been crocheting and knitting many hearts this month to give to family members. I have seen on Pinterest hearts that are turned on the side and adding cat features to them. I did this for two. I also did a bunny. Today’s toy is a cat heart I am giving to my SIL,…
Today’s toy is a knitted frog head. I used the same shape as the bunny head. My sister’s birthday gift was the Honey Bunny candy yarn from Hobbii (https://hobbii.com/yarn) I used 5 mm knitting needles. The eyes were knitted on top with the existing stitches. I did not sew them on. I used scrap yarn…
Today’s toy is a bunny. I knitted a bulb shape, larger on the bottom tapering to the top. It is similar to a bunny I knitted earlier this month (https://craftingintx.com/2024/01/january-7-bunny/) Knitted with Mainstays chenille chunky with US 8 knitting needles (5 mm). I then thought it would be fun to add fabric to the ears…
Today’s toy is a bluebird of happiness. Knitted on US 4 needles (3.5 mm) with Red Heart super saver country blue. I used scrap yarn to embellish it with flowers. It is hanging in my entryway. It makes me happy! The pattern is by Sara Elizabeth Kellner.
Today, I am showing the stingray I knitted. I followed a picture of a crochet stingray by stringy ding ding. She gives you the pattern when you sign up for the newsletter. My hands were hurting so I decided to knit the toy instead. Hopefully I will write up the pattern. I did crochet the…
Today I show my bear. I designed it, mostly just experimenting. I am using that same yarn, charisma 10 ply Aran. I started with two icords and then knitted the body, decreased and then increased again for the head. I added the crocheted arms and ears. I used black yarn to cinch a nose on…
a very whimsical bunny by Sayjai Thawornsupacharoen. I used the same yarn I have been using, the Charisma 10 ply Aran. I put pipe cleaners into the ears, but didn’t stuff them. This pattern is for crochet, but I modified it for knitting. That’s why it is shorter. I need to knit more rounds next…
