A place where I can share some of my thoughts, pictures and patterns of all things crochet.
All patterns on the site assume that you have a basic knowledge of crochet - sc, dc, hdc, trbl, inc, dec, and working in rounds and rows. Information on special techniques can easily be found online by doing a search in any search engine for 'crochet magic ring' or 'crochet invisible decrease'. I am always available to help with any questions or problems you have with any of my patterns, I answer emails and posts as soon as I can. :D

This little fella I made for me! I filled it halfway with unpopped popcorn kernals, so it's well weighted and it's my new paper-weight. He's Bomomb, from the Mario Bros. games. I always kinda liked him LOL BOMBOMB Materials: WW yarn in black, grey and gold G Hook Fiberfill (and some unpopped popcorn or plastic filler pellets if you would like to make it into a paperweight) Tiny bits of white felt Yarn Needle Sewing thread to match felt

NOTES: Gauge isn't really important here, as long as you ensure that your hook, yarn and tension result in a fairly tight stitch. Using different yarn types and hooks can give interesting results and make a larger or smaller plush. I highly recommend using the 'invisible decrease' especially when working in the round. While it's not completely invisible, it does help to reduce the gaps that concentric decreases tends to leave behind. Overall, it just ends up looking alot neater. You can work in joined rounds or continuous rounds, whichever is most comfortable for you.

After receiving several emails from people asking me where they could send a donation in appreciation of the patterns I have for free on my site here, I've opted to put a donate button up for those who wish to do so.

Thank you very much for considering my patterns worthy of a donation.

Sew feet to the bottom, using photo as a guide. Sew the wind-up key to the middle of the back. Cut two small oval shapes for eyes from white felt. I recommend using plain paper first and pinning on the doll to make sure of size and placement. Once you have it like you want it, sew the felt eyes on.

WolfDreamer said... I've used dried beans too, this time I didn't have any. Uncooked rice also works, but it's a good idea to cut off the foot of a pair of hose (or however much you need), fill that with the rice, and sew up the open end then put that inside the toy, cause rice will ease its way out between stitches. :) April 15, 2009 8:16 PM

Jessie Hansen said... I'm working on making two of these right now and so far have the "body" done for both. I thought you should know that rounds 13&14 of the body are typed incorrectly. They read: Rnd13: sc in next 3 sc, dec over... Rnd14: sc in next 3 sc, dec over... The way I understand it they should read Rnd13: sc in next 2 sc, dec over... Rnd14: sc in next sc, dec over... Also, on your picture you started the gray on Round 15, but didn't mention that in the instructions. My boys will just have to deal with black necks on their bobombs, but I figured you might want to know. This is the fourth pattern I have used from your site and I want to thank you for creating these patterns and posting them for me. You are great. May 15, 2009 6:37 PM

WolfDreamer said... All the abbreviations I use are *standard* abbreviations. Used in all commercial (and nearly all free) patterns. I assume that most people have at least a basic understanding of the basics of crochet when they decide to do the patterns, including an understanding of pattern

abbreviations. If you are going to use patterns it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the basics of reading patterns, including the standard abbreviations. F/O (or FO) means 'Fasten Off' or 'Finish off' which essentially means to cut your yarn and secure the end. There are many places to find a list of standard abbreviations for crochet, one of which is here: http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/abbreviations.php . I hope that is helpful for you :D October 17, 2010 9:28 PM
