2008 Favorites
2008 has been a pretty good year. I rediscovered crochet and have loved creating amigurumis, scarfs, and other items for the ones that I love. Here is a list of some of my absolute favorite patterns that I have discovered in 2008.
Lion Brand’s amigurumi pig. There is no link to it because you have to register at the Lion Brand website to view patterns. Registration is free. This little pig was a huge hit at Christmas. I made one for my niece who had a favorite piggy bank that she carried everywhere.
I love how my toy animal leash turned out. I was also pretty excited to actually create a pattern. It definitely sealed the deal on being excited about crochet creations.
Another favorite is this cute amigurumi owl that I made for a Harry Potter swap. I loved working with the Lion Brand Jiffy yarn. It was so soft and so hard to sent it off. I may have to make me one.
I also enjoyed making this cute elephant. I used the Lion Brand elephant as a guide but worked some of it freestyle. My sister-in-law loved it as she is a huge Alabama Crimson Tide fan.
There are so many other projects that I’m ready to get started on. It looks like 2009 will be a bigger and better crocheting year.
