“Mine crab done! Huge! Love him!”
This crab is waiting for the rain to stop so he can go outside. He is from the book Crocheted Softies by Stacey Trock. I finally returned it to the library after making Salty the Crocodile as well. I am definitely going to purchase the book when I order Wren's birthday books next month. Stacy Trock's patterns are easy to follow and produce very nice results.
I also participated in the mystery crochet-a-long with Freshstitches (Stacey Trock) on Ravelry. I was really hoping for an anteater for some reason but it turned out to be a kangaroo. I did add a tail to the joey. Wren has very slyly been getting to play with the kangaroo when I am out. She convinced her dad to get it down from the shelf for her. I have no one in mind to receive Amber the Kangaroo but it is not to be added to the general toy basket around here.
I also completed one brachiosaurus from a PanetJune pattern. My goal is 5 more dinosaurs this month - one more brachiosaurus, two triceratops and two stegosaurus. I am hoping to add them to my craft sale table this year. When I complete the six I will reward myself with another 3 dinosaur patterns. Although I really liked the colours of this dinosaur I did not like working with the yarn. It is a recycled cotton. I may try again after I have more dinosaurs under my belt and see if the yarn was the problem or I was. I like the PlanetJune patterns because they are realistic looking and small enough to be easily toted around by a little one.

Like an idiot I joined 3 online crochet groups in July and one in August. I completed the amigurumi of the month project with one day to spare. It is a pretty cute Chococat. I did have to look up what Chococat was though. Apparently I am old.
