Amigurumi Elmo

I used to love Elmo, and luckily my boys had a chance to meet him by an Elmo's World CD, when comparing to the recent cartoons and characters made for 3-6 year olds I can easily claim that Elmo still rocks! Since my boy was  in love with him he kept on demanding an Elmo toy and unfortunately I was'nt able to find one among the new age toys. So when I met with amigurumi, it was the first thing in my to do list, Elmo ! And here is the rewarding scene, which worths it all!

amigurumi pocket doll May

Here is my very first doll try, May. I am not a goor pattern follower, I respect and appreciate all those free patterns out there and I really enjoy finding and trying them but my mind flows so differently throughout the work that I end up with a totally different design in the end, especially with the dolls, you will understand what I am talking about when you look at the pictures  below:)

This is my May

And this is Leena

house shoes for kids, actually for all!

I hate the 'put on your house shoes 'fight with kids throughout the winter, I feel like a house shoe cop, and always lose the battle since they take them off while crawling the sofa or playing on the carpet and never remember to put them on back. And slippers are even worse since they are really dangerous while running up and down the stairs, they tend to slip from their little feet, I was looking for a solution and tried some knitted ones but the appearance did not turn out the way I wanted, finally I found this pattern on internet and made a pair in less than an hour, they were really comfortable and seem cool too so the little one demanded one pair in his favorite color''green''! And the biggest boy(my love) wanted a pair too, so he got  a multi colored one since my yarn was not enough for the huge feet! He loves them, brings them everywhere with him, I believe they would be among the 3 things he would take with him if he ends up in an island! If you want to try a pair for your beloved ones or yourself, here is the pattern with wonderful explanation and a tutorial here: http://sensitivesnapdragon.blogspot.com/2011/11/boy-clog-slippers-pattern.html
