Kitty Ear Hat
My friend, Heather, requested a kitty ear hat for her birthday, and try as I might, I couldn’t find a pattern I really liked. I pretty much just winged it with some chenille and a 6.5mm hook. I like how it came out except that it’s a little big. She loves it anyway.
Claude the Cactus
I made this cute little guy from this pattern:

He is for my 14-year-old cousin, and I am extremely pleased with the way he came out. You can see the green underneath the fuzz much better in person. This was my first amigurumi with fun fur, and I really like the effect. I almost hate to give him away.
Here he is in his little pot:
And here he is all on his own:
It’s Hard to Overstate My Satisfaction
I found a sort of pattern for this at 3 o’ clock this morning. I was so inspired, that I stayed up all night making it. I give you, the Weighted Companion Cube from the video game Portal.
My husband is a huge fan of the game, so I surprised him with this when he woke up.
I used this pattern and a 4mm hook for the corner pieces:

and this one (without the white lacy parts of course) with a 3.5mm hook for the hearts:

The basic part of the cube is simply 6 squares of 11 rows of 10 sc with a 4mm hook.
After I finished, I filled it with some Saran Wrap full of rice, so it is actually weighted.
Hope everyone likes it! My husband sure did.
Crochet Viking Beanie
I crocheted this beanie as a gift for my grandmother who is a HUGE Minnesota Vikings fan. I bought the pattern from Etsy, and I think it turned out pretty well. I’m a little disappointed in the right horn, but overall, I am pleased.
Sasuke & Naruto Amigurumis
These are the first amigurumi dolls I have made without a pattern. They are from the anime, Naruto. I’m very proud of the way they turned out. Their hair took as long to make as their bodies, but it was worth it. :)
This is Sasuke Uchiha. He was the first one I made.
This is Naruto. I tried to make him the same size as Sasuke, but he ended up being fatter.
And here they are together. They look a lot better sitting down than standing up, I think.
