Sometimes I Make Things

I've developed a new talent that doesn't involve butter or sugar... just yarn.

I started just making hats, which I love! When I was 12 I tried to crochet blankets. Skip was always so good at making afghans and I wanted to be just like her. But making blankets sucks. It takes WAY too long. By the third day of crocheting I was bored with the pattern and color of yarn so I just quit. I had a closet full of unfinished afghans. But hats are much more fun. They have fun patterns to follow and stitch up pretty quick. I made this one for Gehry and I've made a few for cousins and friends. Then I discovered crocheted stuffed animals:

This is a pink giraffe for Gehry's cousin, Zoe. Not a great picture, but the giraffe is stinking cute.

A turtle for Clover for her birthday.


And a little puppy for Gehry since this is the only pet he'll ever have :)

Kim you're so talented! These are adorable. (And I'm with you on the whole pet issue... I hope I never have to give in and get a dog or even a goldfish)

Those are so cute! Maybe I'll have to pick up crocheting. You're making it look very tempting.
