The next pattern in my framegurumi line is a Frankenstein Framegurumi! Since my husband and I really go all out decorating for Halloween, I was super excited when he suggested I make this one. The great thing about this framegurumi is it can be really cute or spooky depending on the picture you put in it. So it works for Halloween decor no matter how you like to decorate. I hope you enjoy!
Life for a crocheter is a lot like those who don’t. You have a crazy toddler who runs at 100 mph through the house, a husband who has a dozen things distracting him that you have to help with because he can’t do it without you, a garden to till, a house to keep from slipping over the edge into chaos, a job to pay bills, and that’s just the start. The difference is in the middle of all that, you also have to take time to just enjoy making something special. It’s been a while since my regular life has been calm enough to look at my yarn. Toadsworth, for you Super Mario Sunshine fans, is among my most recent forays back into making special things. As a Mario fan, he seemed like a fun place to start. I hope you enjoy making your own Toadsworth, and feel free to share your thoughts and experiences making him (or playing Super Mario Sunshine). Keep checking back, because there are more special things to come!
*I used Wolfdreamers Toad pattern on some parts (the feet, arms, face, mushroom top, and vest) I needed to make sure to give her credit for part of this pattern 🙂

I just completed two different picture frames for cute little faces to enjoy. Feel free to check out my Etsy shop for the patterns.
It’s been a while since I posted a pattern and since I’m on summer break I’ve been getting back into crocheting again. As usual a certain somebody in my life had a re-quest. For a long time I avoided filling this request, but finally gave in. He’s not 6’ 7″ but this little venusaur is just as awesome in Beau’s opinion. He measures 7 inches tall and took about 4-5 hours to finish.
Here is the new pattern: venusaur
I have to first apologize for waiting so long to post this pattern. He has been ready for about a year now. I started teaching in September, prepared for my wedding in February, and have been house hunting. We think we have found “the one” hopefully. But anyways, Beau has been asking for Vileplume, but I didn’t really want to make him, so it took me awhile to do it for him. He is a cutie, and very simple to make. I hope you enjoy making your own.
Here is the new pattern you have been waiting for: vileplume
By popular demand I’m starting to make PDFs for all my patterns. I’ll still have write ups posted on my blog but in the event you want to download the pattern, all you have to do is click on the link. This should make things alot easier for those of you who like to print things out or save them to your computer. So first pattern: Feraligatr
There are quite a few pokemon that I get requests for from my fiancé and others. The ones with the greatest frequency are always those that are part of my party from the games. Ever since I got SoulSilver and added Toto to my party he’s been at the top of the request list. Unfortunately, he’s also been at the top of the list of those pokemon that scared me senseless. I just couldn’t see how to make him. So, now, years after getting the game (our Feraligatr is level 75 now), I got it in my head to try him out. Where urges like these come from no one knows, my fiancé is trying to come up with some kind of formula to figure it out. Regardless, this little guy really worked me for a while, but now that he’s done I just want to hug him!
I hope you like the pattern and that your Feraligatr turns out as endearing as mine did!

Attach body to Head and mouth piece.
Row 17 of tail attaches to body. The hump should be sewed on near the top of the body, right below the head. Look at pictures for placement of spikes and patches.

“Yoda, you seek Yoda!” *Theme of the Force starts playing*
RECENTLY UPDATED YODA LINK! Sorry, I had to start with a Yoda quote/flourish. They’re all pretty memorable and well, it’s Yoda. Needless to say Beau was very excited when I started working on him. Especially when I told him Yoda would be close to “life” size. I finished him much more quickly than expected, and have already had quite a bit of fun with him. He’s very poseable (his eyelids move to give expression, as does his mouth, and his arms and legs are pretty bendable as well. It’s funny to think that three years ago I didn’t even care to see Star Wars and now I’m making amigurumis of it (which I also couldn’t have done three years ago). I think Beau feels a little bad for turning me to the nerd side of the force, but its hard to complain with the results.
I hope you like this pattern as much as both Beau and I do.
A video will be coming up within the next 2 weeks showing you how to assemble his head. This way it will be easier for people to follow along with the step by step directions.
