I’ve recently started publishing my crochet and knit patterns on Ravelry.com. And I have two new patterns available.
Feeling Lucky?
I created this pattern in order to make a pair of Fuzzy Dice for my friend, Gemma. She has a new apartment and has decorated it with lots of hot pink! When I visited her for a house-warming party, I felt inspired to knit her some retro dice.
Fuzzy Dice for Gemma
She loved them, so I made another pair for a my co-worker for our Secret Santa party.
Smooth as Dice for Hock Hoe
You can find both patterns (for free!) at my Ravelry store here.
Henry the Hexapus
While visiting a friend in NYC earlier this year, she showed me a cute amigurumi octopus named Chutney. I tried, unsuccessfully to steal him from her by hiding him in my luggage. When I returned to Singapore, I decided to make my own cute octopus using some scrap yarn that my friend had given me. My octopus had similar construction to hers except I added my signature “backdoor bumhole” to his underside. AND…
As I was using scrap yarn, as luck would have it—I ran out of yarn while making the legs and now my octopus is a HEXAPUS.
The first of many Henries I made
I googled the word hexapus and found that there really is one in Blackpool, England.
The Real Henry
Here is a link to the Telegraph article about the original Henry.
Henry’s pattern is available (free) here.
Happy Crafting in the New Year!
