Moving on ..more crochet projects: mice and jellyfish


After following a few patterns and making some cute crochet critters I am starting to form ideas of how shapes and forms are generally made. With that I am starting to do a bit of experimentation.

Although not entirely novel I decided to make small mice using what I have learned. Here is the result!

The first one had a funny nose that I wasnt too happy with so I modifed that the next time around. I think however the look of the first one will be useful in making a cute hedgehog (Working on figuring out how to do the spikes effectively). I think they have came out rather cute. I even made one for a friend to give to her lovely cats to play with. Apparently they loved it!

I would like to get into making patterns for people to follow so maybe this one will be a good start, so keep tuned!

More recently I became inspired by this lovely rainbow colored yarn that I had bought. Naturally I thought ...Jellyfish! so I just start crocheting not sure of what the results would be but here it is along with some progress photos:

I am very pleased as to how they came out. I plan on selling these so keep tuned for the opening of my etsy shop!
