A few months ago I had a request for a piggy that should also look a certain way – specifically, this way: Initially, I thought I’d work my way through some pig pattern, but then I modified it so heavily, that the new pattern calls for publication. I used bulky yarn (GGH Camello in pink …

Crocodile Stitch Boots
I not only made the hood with a crocodile stitch pattern, but also Crocodile Stitch Boots as house shoes. For all of you who find the notion weird, you might want to read up on it here. My mother recently also told me, why one might find them useful. Which is something I’ve never understood, …
Crocodile Stitch Hood
Following mostly the pattern available at bonitapattern.com, I created this hood with the Evento wool by Lana Grossa.
Final Fantasy Black Mage
Before I show off with the pretty doll I made, I want to introduce you first to the Final Fantasy Black Mage, essentially because I didn’t know it before either. It traditionally looked like this: However, the picture that was presented to me as a ‘this is how it should look in the end, was …
A monkey apparently named ‘Mojo’
So, because I have now more time again, I can also post my crafty stuffs again. Basically I made a monkey adapted from this site (which is not really more important), where the logo appears to be a monkey drawn in some very basic computer programme like paint or something. But because I found the …

Going larger… crocheted brooches!
So I found this lovely pattern for an alien amigurumi, and there I thought right away, ok, this is not button material, but wouldn’t it make a lovely brooch? And yes, yes it does! So, now I also do brooches apparently. This one was just a try, cause, you know, you gotta start somewhere. I’ll …
Tiny Owl Button
In the button series there is a new friend to be found! The tiny owl! This little fellow is easily done. You need: · 2 colours of puppet yarn · 1.5mm crochet hook · sewing needle · a tiny amount of stuffing (polyfill, scrap yarn, what have you) · something to make it buttonable, I …
Tiny Hippo Button
Since it worked out so marvelously with the tiny frog buttons, I designed a tiny hippo button. So, there you go, another free pattern! This is only the head and the snout because otherwise it would become too large. You will need: · some puppet yarn in the desired colour · a 1.5 mm hook …
