I’ve been wanting to make the Rainbow Unicorn Amigurumi in other colors and designs but it’s difficult to find time to make things for fun in between baby time (which is like 98% of the time), writing up patterns, working on orders, etc. So I stayed up a little late and got up early to make a yellow and pink Pegasus! :D
I embroidered on details instead of using felt, made the mane/tail thicker and longer for a french braid, and I used small yarn & 1.30mm hook to make the flowers.
The next Unicorn project is probably going to be a pink and blue pony. (And I’ll probably do MLP project later. I’m just not sure which one to make first. Any requests?)
I made a baby dress for a friend using the Angel Wings Pinafore Pattern by Maxine Gonser. I love crochet shell stitch dresses!! The pattern is for 0-3 months size but I wanted to make it in 9-12 months size so it’ll fit during summer (or later most likely since the baby seems to be extra small!).
Instead of using the hook and yarn weight specified, I used I/5.5mm hook and Red Heart Super Savers yarn. It ended up fitting my 6 month old and he wears 9-12 month clothes.
I made a flower button using a B/2.25mm hook and Knit Picks Shined Worsted:
R1: Ch 2, 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Sl st in first sc to join.
R2: *Ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st into same st. Sl st in next st.* Repeat from * to end. (5 petals)
R2: *Ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st into same st. Sl st in next st.* Repeat from * to end. (5 petals)
I was drawn to this pattern because of Gabeycakes’s version on Ravelry: 
Cute buttons and the yarn is a pretty color! It’s NaturallyCaron.com Spa in Ocean Spray.
Gifts for Crocheters & Knitters
I want to share some goodies for crocheters/knitters that I’ve had in my wishlist for a while.
I’ve been a fan of Atelier de Soyun for years. I love the designs and I really want one of the crochet hook organizers. It’s hard to chose a favorite! I think I’d end up picking one that’s pink or red. They’re so pretty! She also makes knitting needle cases, project/notion bags, and pouches.
I stumbled on Suncatcher Eyes several years ago and I received some in a swap. These craft eyes are handpainted and the colors are amazing! I use plain black safety eyes for most of my designs but I also like to use these for my other projects. She also has owl eyes, clear eyes, noses, and more!
I’m always looking out for cute stitch markers. I found Bead Passion when I was looking for animal ones. These are adorable, handmade, and made of polymer clay. I’m hoping to get the the pig ones soon! These stitch makers have split rings but I believe she can make these with a lobster clasp for crocheters. She also has stitch markers of cupcakes, cats, turtles, and more!
