Litwick Pokémon

I had an amazing Christmas vacation and am once again behind in my postings. Litwick was a last minute addition to my Christmas presents. I have an adult relative that requested a Litwick for a birthday gift shortly before I had surgery and took a crochet break. As I restarted crocheting, I had the pattern in my folder of items to do, but never seemed to get to him. With my Christmas box mailed, I found him and realized he had to be made. With a week left until Christmas, Litwick made his appearance and was warmly welcomed to his new home on Christmas Eve.

He worked up quickly from a free pattern found here. This was one of the easier Christmas gifts I made and it seems to have brought the most pleasure.

Humpty Dumpty

I got behind on my blogging again as I worked to send off my Christmas boxes. However, the boxes have been mailed and I can now get caught up on posting my projects.

Humpty was one of my favorite Christmas projects. Like the Old Woman in the Shoe this pattern came from a vintage Annie's Attic publication Toy Chest, 87T61. This year's presents seem to have found a nursery rhyme and fairy tale theme.

Humpty is not completely an amigurumi. His body is made in more traditional flat panels associated with sewn stuffed animals. However, his arms and legs do follow the amigurumi style. I actually ended up breaking out my yarn bobbins in order to work on Humpty's shirt. Without them, the yarn got tangled. I think it is the first time I have required yarn bobbins for a toy project.

There are still a few more projects in this leaflet that I would like to make for spring birthdays or Easter baskets. However, those will have to wait until after the Christmas season.

Holiday Projects

I hope everyone has been enjoying the holiday season. I have been delaying my writing while I work on my craft skills and projects. I started this blog as a way to catalog project ideas I was writing about and as a means of sharing projects with family members. Then I really got hooked and have really started working hard on my own interests.

This Christmas I made some Barbie clothes, a few scarfs, dish clothes, and a prayer shawl for family. I'm really enjoying the process. My husband has renewed and interest in Plastic Canvas and is making me a beautiful project book to hold the free project downloads I have been collecting.

There are more holiday free patterns blogs due out in January for Valentines Day and Saint Patricks Day for Knitting, Crochet, and Plastic Canvas. While I did not take the time to take pictures of my Christmas projects, I do hope to take and post pictures of my own work next year. I also will continue to post patterns I find as find them.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
