There have been some complains in my family that there's knitting projects everywhere around the house. It's supposedly contained in my office, but it's managed to escape into the living room, my bedroom, the kitchen, and the spare bedroom. An in all honesty, I don't even know how much yarn I have, even with Ravelry's help.
I figured, to keep the peace in my household, I've decided to knit so much that it will cause "knitter's elbow" (if that even exists). There I was, holed up in my office trying to come up with patterns to crochet or knit. There were so many skeins of Lily Sugar and Cream yarn, but I couldn't help it. It was so nice, soft, and perfect to make amigurumi animals from my Japanese amigurumi pattern books that I purchased from Etsy and Kinokuniya Bookstores (another addiction). Then it hit me, why not make amigurumi fruits? Hmmm. it was worth a shot. I made a strawberry amigurumi last year and maybe if I expanded, I would end up with something that can bust my stash. I crocheted so much in that my wrists hurt. Well, actually, they didn't hurt at first, but a couple of days later, I was experiencing DOKMS...Delayed Onset Knitter's Muscle Soreness. No, DOKMS doesn't exist in the medical dictionary...not yet at least.
The patterns and actual toys will be on sale at my etsy shop www.deebunny77.etsy.com
The second thing that I'm excited about is that after cleaning up Mike's computer (which I was using to do some graphic illustrations a while back), I found some of of my drawings. I want to give many thanks to dearbarbz. She posted her illustrations on her blog and so I think I will do the same...
This first illustration is a 5x7 drawing....
As you can see, the illustration is quite small and the I've added a calendar on the top left hand corner of the drawing.
Since I was cleaning up like crazy on Friday and Saturday, I found these awesome magnets that my mum bought me when I visited her in San Francisco... I think I may start an amigurumi series on these as well...
