I just realized I had never featured one of my first amigurumis projects from last summer.
Meet Lorelei (this picture is hanging in my bathroom)
The official mascot of Molly Knight Crafts, Lorelei is a sweet little girl who loves fashion, beauty products, and modeling. Her favorite TV show is Project Runway, followed closely by The Rachel Zoe Project (which is O.O.C.)
Pink is the new black.
Her skin and leggings are made with various nylon/acryllics and her dress is made from Berroco Suede. Her hair is made from some funky yarn I found in the clearance bin. I forget what its called exactly but it looks like Berroco Zap.
I got some better photos of the ladybug I made last weekend.
It was just brought to my attention that March is National Crochet Month!! Where are my inspirational commercials? My Public Service Announcements? MY GIFTS?? I guess you all have 28 days to get working on that.
Maybe there will be a giveaway here sometime during this celebratory month. Just sayin…
In the name of NCM, lets chat. I get really excited whenever I have a comment to moderate on here.
Do you crochet? How long have you been crocheting? How will you be celebrating this exciting month?
Here’s what I’ve been working on the past couple weeks.
1. Toasty
My sister requested a crocheted piece of toast as her treat for donating to Haiti relief.
Toasty and his drink of choice (also for size comparison)
Toasties are $5
2. I got an order for four birds, with colors to match the customer’s “real life” birds:
Birds are $7 each, any color (different wing colors are an option as well). I have a blue and teal bird ready to ship but I keep forgetting to take pictures of them.
3. Then got an order for a pink lady bug. Only one picture of her for now, I tried to take some more but its really grey and yucky out (gettin REALLY sick of the weather in Boston lately!) so the lighting isn’t good.
I seem to get orders in waves. I won’t have any custom orders for a few weeks, then boom, three in a row. Not that I’m complaining
Right now I’m working on a family of birds – the colors match those of the customer’s real life not-crocheted birds! I can’t wait to see pictures of them together. Next up is a lady bug, a monkey, a bunny and a bear. Busy couple weeks ahead!
Basically, its an amigurumi bunny and bear who play music thanks to stop motion animation and it is TOO CUTE. (I should count the number of times I’ve used “cute” on this blog.)
203gow is a Japanese crochet blog that I so wish I could actually read. Check out these amazing crocheted 3D glasses and ami “3D” figures!!
I have no idea what they’re saying but the pictures in their posts are AMAZING.

Pink is the new black.
Lorelei just loved her.
