Snitch Egg Cozy! Because...

I've finished my entry for the Leaky Cauldron Enchanted Egg contest!

The egg part is the body from the Bunny Egg Cozy on Lionbrand. I couldn't find a pattern for wings I liked, so I just kinda winged the wings. (Winged the Wings, get it, winged, Ha,... OK, moving on.)

I though of entering my Potter Puppet Pal Pysanky

But I kinda wanted to do something new. I'm off to enter it now!

Valentines Day! Hearts for My Sweeties!

For Valentine's Day I made K and Mr. Man each an arigurumi heart. I found the pattern on Pepika. She has two free patterns, the heart keychain and a cute little chick ( she's my next project!,) some adorable patterns for sale and a crash course on amigurumi. Very nice site.

The crochet heart pattern calls for a size 1 hook and red cotton yarn. Not having a size 1 hook, I grabbed my size 4 hook and Red Heart yarn and dove in.

I'm planning a garland of them for the mantle next year in bright colors. Thinkin' I might need to start now.

Elephant?... No... Rat?... No...???

Supposed to be a mouse. Really.

I found the pattern at The Crochet Works and I liked it because the bodies looked like eggs, and Easter is coming, and I'm in an eggy mood. But the nose is just a bit long and the arms are not quite to my liking.

I really still like the basic idea and I'm inspired by hp5freak and her idea to make all her Easter eggs crochet egg cozy eggs. (She's made an entire cornucopia of crochets fruits and veggies. So cute!) I've got lots of time this week when I'll be driving and sitting. Might try to make a few changes, see what I come up with.
