Another update

This time it's my little Foxy pattern getting an overhaul :)

here: Ravelry or Etsy

Another Hippo

I've never been happy with the original hippo pattern I made...so I made another one!

This one is $4 and if you bought the original version of the hippo (Harriet) on ravelry, you should be able to get this new one half price.  That's if I've set up the promotion correctly ... pop me a quick message if it's not working!!

Someone likes it anyway!!

Update....I've added a video to help with leg construction

Couple of quick updates (both paid patterns I'm afraid so if you're looking for freebies, you'll have to wait for the next update!)...here's a doll that can be made into any kind of fan doll with a bit of imagination.  I'll blog patterns for instructions as I can be bothered to write them up!

And here's a narwhal with a super spirally horn, or an ordinary whale if you don't get round to making the horn.  I urge you to make it though since it took me ages to work it out!!

That's about if for now xx

hedghogs, hedgehogs everywhere

How about a free hedgehog pattern?  I've written it out at http://crochetstitchwitch.com/?p=337 but even better than that...I've made videos - two of them in fact.  Huzzah.  It was very time consuming and editing is really, really dull so future videos will definately be shorter but here ya go..

and part two

Let me know how you get on with them!! xx

Foxy Foxy! (or Wolf!)

New pattern!!

I've put it on ETSY this time as an experiment as well as dear RAVELRY. I must admit to getting a bit confused with how each site calculates the bloody sales tax but that's an argument for another day/week/year....

The ears are worked seperately then it's all in one piece so you'll need to be able to increase and decrease in single crochet and make the odd chain here and there.  I've included lots of step by step pictures for any tricky bits....It also looks super cute if you teasel brush all the pointy bits....I'll try to get a photo up!

A new video!

I've been a bit slack about updating this blog...I get very confused about where I have and haven't blown my own trumpet...www.crochetstitchwitch.com....google plus....facebook...I've even got a twitter account I think...instagram....pinterest....it goes on!!  I wonder if there's a way to post to all of them at once???  I bet there is - there's my homework for this week.

Anyway, the reason for this post is...New video!!...yay!!  I'll probably place the camera a bit further away next time and work out the focusing a bit better but mostly I think it worked out ok.  I left it silent cos I got fed up trying to work round the ins and outs of copyright usage for music.  Tried to make my own but soon got bored of that - another time perhaps (and for a shorter film!!)

This video shows how to make the sweet little flower motif.  Enjoy :)

Pretty little flower motif

I've posted a chart for this pretty little flower motif over on www.crochetstitchwitch.com.  I've made quite a few of them...just not sure what to do with them now!!
