I call it Spring Fling. Crocheted with #10 Cotton crochet thread.

Intarsia toy knitting

 I am going through a fascination of creating and working intarsia toys....here is an example of a couple I just completed.

I have never been a fan of working intarsia, and decided I needed some projects to help me practice the art, as I AM  a fan of the colorful work to look at.


So this is a cute puppy I worked up .

 And little Miss Blue Rose, is a pattern I worked up to incorporate the face and hair all in one piece, easy to knit.

That way when your done knitting the doll, your Done!  I liked that idea, because ushally, you then have to go on, and create hair.

This doll works up to be a plush 9-10 inch doll, just perfect for babys first dolly!

Raggae Bunny

 Raggae Bunny,

I started this project, before Easter this year, and I finally got around to adding a little face to him... Not a fan of the flop eared bunnys, but I thought this was cute as a Raggae bunny.

OOAK Monster

 Monsters are so fun to make, whether you knit or crochet them, they can be made any size , shape , and in any yarn color or texture! Just grab some needles and yarn and give it a whirl.....these are my new Monsters, I call them OOAK Monster (OOAK stands for "one of a kind")  
As I never ushally make the same thing twice, in the exact colors or size, I thought this title to be very fitting.

The monsters are body sized at  about 7-9 inches
