I got the urge to make something cute, the other day. I remembered I put away a big box of Easter eggs and what’s cuter than amigurumi? Let’s make some bunny eggs! But wait…where did I pack them up? Apparently NOT where I thought. After looking for the box for about an hour, I had them in my hands.
Last year, I posted the Amigurumi Bunny Egg pattern. It’s made with worsted weight yarn and a 3.75mm (US F) hook. I wanted to make a smaller egg, so I used some Lion Brand Bonbons (affiliate link) and adjusted my hook size down to a 2.75mm (US C). I had to add at least 2 rounds to each part, but the rest of the pattern worked well with these changes!
How cute is that mini egg? My kiddo already claimed it. As you can see, I’m STILL trying to figure out how to embroider the face nicely. All my bunnies look different!
I love that these eggs are fill-able. I can put candy in them and hide them during out egg hunt!
Are you crafting for Easter? Tell me about your projects! Links to blogs, if ya have ’em. I want to browse, this weekend!

By Lisa Gutierrez on 02/10/2014 Giveaway closed! Winner has been notified. Thank you for participating!
The sweet Tessa pattern is in the current issue of Apronology Magazine. You can pick it up on newsstands or from their website. I sent in this apron and they photographed it beautifully (with mason jars! I die.)! I wrote up a little bit about the design and supplied the pattern. It is so lovely to hold the work in print!
The little apron is perfect for crafting, cleaning, or just to wear when you’re feeling blue. If you would like to win the apron featured in the magazine, leave a comment! It’s been a while since I’ve done a giveaway, so this feels like a good time. Just comment with a hello or whatever is on your mind. I’ll randomly choose a winner on Friday (2/14/14). If you share the post on social media, come back and leave another comment letting me know for an extra entry.
Have a great week!

Remember how I said I was trying to clean/organize my office? Well, that includes my craft space. It also includes the boxes filled with random pieces I’ve knit and crocheted over the years. I decided I just want to get rid of them. Because of this, YOU get a sample sale! Everything is really very cheap and often times I’m just getting my yarn money back. Check it out and if you want to purchase something, send me an email ASAP!
There are wrist warmers, shawls, scarflettes, DOILY BLANKETS, aprons, etc. I haven’t had a chance to add hats, but if you are looking for one, let me know and I’ll try to describe what I’ve got…

Two years ago, I posted a tiny collection of tiny doily ornaments. I’m happy to report that pattern is now FREE! Yes! Go on and crochet an ornament (or three) for your Christmas tree. They’re super quick to make, even working with thread.
You can find the link to Ravelry or Craftsy on the pattern’s blog page, HERE.
Enjoy!

Pattern: Offset Shell stitch blanket

Hook: 6mm (US J)
Starting chain: 132
40″ x 45″

See previous post for more photos/details!
After working the pattern, I crocheted this row: SC in first ch-1 sp, *Ch 3, SC in next ch-1 sp; Rep from * to end. This made the edge a bit more even. At the end of it, I immediately turned the blanket and started working down the side. I made 2 SC in the side of each row and then worked across the back of the beginning chain, up the other side, and across my last row. I made 5 SC rounds, then worked the crab stitch around once.
The baby shower is today and I’m super excited to give this to the mama to be! I hope she likes it.
