Halloween Scarf CAL (Crochet-Along) Part 4 – Black Cat!
Read moreYou probably already guessed this from the name of my site, but I LOVE cats!!! Just one of the many reasons why I love Halloween is because it’s really a “cat” kind of holiday. So much Halloween decor, cards, etc. have cats on them (and I own about 80% of all Halloween cat decor that exists on this planet as of right now, so I should know). When I was designing this scarf, I knew that including a black cat…

Halloween Scarf CAL (Crochet-Along) Part 3 – Bat!
Read moreI’ve gone batty for this little Bat, which happens to be the third part of my Halloween scarf CAL!

Read moreIt’s time for my Ghost Post!! Here is Part 2 of my Halloween Scarf CAL – the terrific and terrifying Ghost!

This ghost is the perfect accent to this spooky scarf that we’ve been crocheting! (See the adorable…

Amigurumi Cheeseburger Crochet Pattern
Read moreThere aren’t many foods that are quite as open to customization as burgers! Well-done? Rare? Lettuce and tomato? Pickles? Onions? Condiments? It seems like there’s a never-ending list of choices when it comes to them! Heck, even holding the cheese leads to a completely different category of burger, the hamburger as opposed to the cheeseburger. What could be more fun than having your own little crocheted cheeseburger that you can take apart and put back together? As of right now, this fun little…

Amigurumi Corn on the Cob Crochet Pattern
Read moreOkay, I’ll admit it – it was pretty tough not to start this post out with some kind of joke related to the word “corny”! For everyone’s sake, I’ll try to avoid silly word puns! This little corn on the cob is one of my favorite play food amigurumi to make, because it’s not only super cute, but it’s really versatile! From what I know about growing corn (and trust me, that’s not much) it grows in the spring and…
