Love these! Picked up these silly knitting stoppers. They make me laugh every time I use them. 🧶 #knitying #knittingHumor
White knitting needle stoppers decorated with a hippo in a pink tutu wearing pink ballet shoes as she dances around. Above her are the words Don't be a twatopotamus.

Taking a break from the chaos master, and a knit sweater to work on this cool mushroom amigurumi.
The beginnings of a crocheted mushroom amigurumi that is sitting on a beige colored couch with a cream colored pillow in the background. Bright orange mushroom cap did stop a bright yellow stem that fades to cream at the bottom. There is a small opening on the left side to attach a smaller mushroom. A pink stitch holder marks the location of the belly. Underside of the crocheted mushroom amigurumi that is sitting on a beige colored couch and a cream colored pillow in the background. The underside of the cap is highly textured to simulate gills that alternate between cream and bright yellow. The upper half of the mushroom stem is bright yellow and fades to cream at the bottom, not shown.

#blueskyartshow #pattern love the contrast of driftwood's geometric form against the randomness of the tiny seashells. This small section of beach is completely covered in these shells that are several feet deep. Taken at Hammonasset State Park in Connecticut.
A small piece of flat brown driftwood lays on top of thousands of tiny pink and white sea shells that completely cover a beach. In this area the shells are several feet deep. Located in Hammonasset State Park, Connecticut.

The back side of the pillow is a fleece pattern of multiple colored fire breathing dragons against a white grayish background. The dragons wings are green and teal. The fleece panel has been crocheted to the front eyeball panel.

Steam boxing the pillow front. Yep it's acrylic. And yes you can block it. Square edgeswill be easier to crochet to a fleece back 🪀
