I finished attaching this guy’s little limbs, in the car on the way to the park, yesterday.
Pattern: Bedfellows by Camilla Engman, in The Happy hooker
Yarns: Lion Wool (pumpkin), Hobby Lobby Bamboospun (sea blue), and Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn! (old leaf)
Hooks: 5.0mm (H) and 6.5mm (K)
Mods: I made the bear, but used the bunny’s head pattern. I followed the errata directions and made the arm/slegs stubbier than the book pattern.
You can see more photos of my ravelry page, here, or on my flickr crochet set, here.
By the way, I’ve finally reached the bind-off on the pinwheel baby blanket. it’s only 700 stitches. *shudder*

I realized I hadn’t crocheted any amigurumi in a while, so I decided to go back to one of the very first patterns I used–’Bedfellows’ from The Happy Hooker. I finished up the head, today. If I get bored, at least it looks cute by itself!
This is the current stitch-monster I’m working on. It’s a pinwheel blanket and over 450 stitches around. It’s rather boring to work on, not to mention the baby starts crying when he sees me reach for it. I would say he can feel my pain, but really, he’s just been a little clingy lately. I think it’s his teeth; the other day he had drool fangs! I can actually see the new teeth and I am SO glad that’s not my mouth. Anyway, I’ve decided to start the border on the blanket, so I only have like 6 more round of torture. I haven’t yet calculated how many stitches I’ll end up binding off. Really, though, I’d rather not know.
07/07/2007 aside from the beer i knit before christmas, I do believe this is my first knit toy! i used ysolda’s stuffies pattern, wool-ease chunky, and 5mm needles to get him.
