Midnight Saturday

Amigurumi! Bah hum-crochet bug. That rabbit sucks hind leg, if you ask me. Annie et al hated the colors, and it was overstuffed and ugly as all get out. And the ears -- it was an exercise in crochet torture. It became a dog toy. Sigh. And I SO wanted to make it for the new baby.

On the other hand (or hook as the case may be) afghan/tunisian/african stitch is pretty cool and lots o' fun.....but do the tunisian simple stitch first. The others are a tad challenging. I'll post some pix tomorrow. And some good links for learning it.

Baby afghan and toy

Tonight is Aunt Callie's BD party. The girls are all brushed and have their cool red scarves on. We'll be packing right after for our trip - we're leaving at 3 AM to start the what-would-normally-be 10 hour drive but with Scotties will prob take us 12. Trying to arrive in Desert Island Maine by 3 PM Saturday.

Finished the baby afghan for Michelle's shower last Sat which I alas was not able to attend, but it came out pretty good. Also the goony-looking amigurumi penguin. Love that little bugger!

I'm making the bunny now and want to do the elephant, turtle and octopus. The baby is now due 11/1; still don't know what it will be except adorable!
