Anne of Green Gables

Jo March, Lizzie Bennett, Anne Shirley,.... I like these fierce girls with their seeking souls.

Some time ago, I bought this very fun book "Literary yarns, crochet projects inspired by classic books", partly because there is an  Anne of Green Gables pattern in it. I just knew I had to crochet it. So here she is, my Anne with an "e", love her!

I am not so very good at amigurumi, not so very fond of it either because I find it a little hard on my hands and wrists. But, as always , happy with my new friend!

(There is also a Sherlock Holmes, who screams to come to life in crochet!)

Sleepy piglet

I crocheted this sleepy little pig some time ago and used a very colourful yarn. He looks like he has been playing in unicorn poo. and now he is tired and needs to go to sleep. So I made him some bedsocks and a nightcap. I used some old T-shirt fabric for his wardrobe.
I have been looking for information about the pattern to share, but I have no idea anymore where to find it, sorry... hope you like me sharing the pictures anyway…

Jane Austen

I have tremendous admiration for Jane Austen. This amigurumi Miss Austen was a very fun project! She guards her novels now, in my bookcase :-) The pattern, by WonderAnn, can be found and bought here on Etsy. The yarn I used is Fonty Bambou, 100% viscose, bought at Cross&Woods in The Hague, the Netherlands. I prefer to crochet with bambou, it is smoother than cotton and has a nice shine.

Tooterphants

Aren't they cute, these tooterphants ? It's a crochet pattern by Lucy Ravenscar. You can buy the pattern here on Ravelry. I got it from a magazine called 'Adorable animals', from the Creative Craft-series, published in 2015.
I made two tooterphants at the same time. As they were my first amigurumi, it took a while to finish them. But it was fun to do and I think they turned out quite nice...
