Farewell to a Crochet Cheeseburger

I recently found out that a person I work with was leaving to go to a different store (I work at MCDS) so I decided to do something nice as a leaving present and because of the fact we make cheese burgers, what better to give her than a crochet cheese burger. each layer is made all together than separately which meant no tricky stitching the parts together or gluing them. The seeds on top of the bun and the eyes are created using a french knot,with  the mouth created using running stitch to give him a cute smile which I hope she will like. The piece is actually based off of nerdigurumi No-Sew Hamburger or Cheeseburger which is easy to follow due to the fact each step has its own segment like the bun, cheese and tomato.

I originally made two as I was going to keep one and then give one to another person that was leaving but now I am going to try and make a smaller on for myself as I'm now gifting my only one.

Mini Crochet Giraffe + Knit&Stitch Olympia

Recently I went to the knit and stitch show at the Olympia with my aunty. I had been their two previous times before but this time I had no idea what I was going to buy as their are two immense halls that not only have knitting and stitching it also hold an array of other crafts: from cross stitch, bead making, knot tying tools and so on (I could list forever) but my favourite stall was the TOFT stall as i when their last year and I bought a book, but little did I know that when I went to the stall that I was in fact talking to the author Kerry Lord and got the book signed which was amazing.

From that I went on to make the a small version Caitlin The Giraffe

When we went again this year i was determined to try and get a kit for one of the but because we went on the last day almost everything was gone bar a few so I got the pony and then I got the giraffe kit made up so I could make the bigger version.

I was so happy with the out come which was better than expected.

Easter Mayhem (Crochet)

So with Easter upon us again I have made these cute little bunnies. Even with them being made from a continues rounds having to join the legs and ears was a challenge. the pattern to these cuties can be found Anisbee Anisbee's Ravelry Store for free it is an amazing pattern but fiddly when made smaller so for beginners I'd recommend making as specified in the pattern.

The blue one is a commission due to the fact that they saw the purple one and then wanted one to give as I birthday surprise which gave me a break from making the dragon.
