ANGRY BIRDS

These are for my two god-grandchildren. When they saw the set of angry birds I crocheted earlier on, they made their request. So after my busy schedules, I quickly make these two angry birds over these two days to give to them as Christmas gifts. This is the first year when none of our children will be back for Christmas. We thank God for a godson (kai-zai) and his family with whom we will be spending our Christmas with :) 

This time I made the angry birds larger, as big as a tennis ball. I used double strand of the yarn.   For the beak, white eye and belly patches I used only one strand.  I am very pleased with the result.

KEY-CARD POUCH

Sheerah asked me if I could help to make something to hold her key card to her key chain as the hole is broken. So I crocheted a pouch to hold the card and attached a hook to it so she can hang it to her bunch of keys.


I used AMINAH yarn. I crocheted chain stitches to attach a spectacles-button to close the opening. It was done in 1+ hour.

PATTERN:
ch - chain
dc - double crochet
ss - slip stitch
fo - fasten off
sk st - skip stitch

Start off with 16 ch
Row 1:  3ch; dc in each ch; 3dc into last ch;  Turn and dc into the other side of each ch; 2dc into last ch; ss into 3rd ch

Row 2-5: 3ch; dc into every st; ss into 3rd ch

Row 6-10: 3ch; 4dc; **1ch; sk st; dc; ** Repeat 4 times (5 spaces); dc into rest of the stitches; ss into 3rd ch

Row 11-15: 3ch; dc into each st; ss into 3rd ch
Note: Leave a space in the middle of one side of the last row for button hole, as shown in the picture above.

Loop to hold the hook:
6ch; put through the hook; attach the loop to next st; ss and fo.

Button:
Attach the yarn to middle of the other side of the last row to make 4ch; attach the button; 4ch; ss back to where the yarn is attached and fasten off.

AMIGURUMI OWL

It has always been a belated birthday for one of my buddies so I want to make a "on-time" gift for her birthday this year :) .....and I made it!

May she grow wiser with years and blessed with grace and gentleness and lots more of her life to pass on and bless others.

An owl to symbolise WISDOM :)  This owl measures 4.5cm tall and 6cm across.





And here is Joanna's very first crochet.  She saw my owl and likes it very much and asked to learn.  She is a left-handler but she manages very well using her right hand to crochet.  She is unique and she seems to be able to handle the stitches pretty fast and well, considered as a first-timer.  Here is the result taken by her iPhone.  She did it in about 4 hours with little help from me!  She makes me proud!
