Hey guys! I missed FO Friday last week because it was Design Week… so I have a lot of things to show you!
Platypus
Last week, I designed and crocheted a platypus for Design Week:
I love how he turned out!
Custom orders
I crocheted a couple of custom crochet orders for my Etsy shop: a tiny crab and a baby penguin:
Monster!
I designed this toothy monster for my How to Design Monsters Craftsy Class, but the photographer’s son fell in love with it and Mr. Red got a new home. But… I wanted one!
So, I’ve made myself another:
He’s so fun! He’ll keep me on task at work, right?
Pogona
I finished knitting my Pogona (by Stephen West) with the yarn that I dyed with Kool-aid:
It’s my second time knitting this pattern, and I just love it. It’s a relaxing knit, and the shape of the shawl sits really nicely when you wear it.
Wingspan
Yes, I’ve jumped on board the Wingspan bandwagon, and knit myself one with the yarn that I spun:
I used merino, so it’s super soft… unfortunately, I finished it just in time for the weather to turn warm! Maybe I’ll have to save the wearing until next year…
Thanks for stopping by and reading! If you want to see more great finished items… make sure to visit Tami’s Amis blog, the organizer of this great FO Friday theme!
I hope you have an awesome and craft-filled weekend!
Oooh, the platypus is just devine!! He’s SO cute.
Have a great weekend, Esther.
Wow, you knit that rainbow yarn up fast! It’s looks lovely as Wingspan :) As does everything else!
I love your little crochet animals! I think the Monster is my favorite. And WIngspan in now in my library~ this is my year to use leftover yarns, and this is an awesome pattern. Thanks for sharing your FO!
What awesome FOs! The platypus is adorable! Wingspan worked out really well with that yarn!
Everything is awesome, but I am double in love with the baby penguin, and the Wingspan looks AMAZING!
Wow, I love the Pogona and the Wingspan. Awesome that you were involved in the making of each of those yarns!
Is there a pattern available for toothy monster? It’s so cute! (And this isn’t a demand, I’m just honestly wondering!)
@Marie- The toothy monster is part of my ‘design your own monster’ course on Craftsy… he’s exclusive to the course for a while :)
Your shawls are both fantastic, but that Wingspan is incredible. I’m such a sucker for rainbows, and that just looks perfect. Between that and the ridiculously cute platypus, your blog has immensely cheered my boring Friday afternoon, thank you!
Love the platypus. He reminds me of Australia – they have the best animals : )
Your wingspan is amazing. Creating something for fibre to FO must feel awesome. Nice work!
I am in love with that baby penguin! It is adorable and the monster just makes me smile so much. I’m currently working on a knitted monster and yours has given me a kick up the backside to get it finished.
I am intending to jump on the wingspan bandwagon soon. It’s so simple and interesting and I think it would look great in my spring coloured Zauberball.
What a lot of work you have done, the toys are fab but the colours in the wingspan are amazing. What lovely things.
Pagona and Wingspan are beautiful. I’m searching for the right yarn for wingspan. have started it twice and didn’t like the look. Congratulations on lovely projects.
Holy cow you’ve got lots done! Your wingspan is very striking in those rainbow colours. And the toys are all cute – especially your tooth-y shouting monster!
All of your FO are just amazing! And your monster – God!, I love it, I want one too :)
Oh my goodness, that monster is adorable! Your kool-aid dyed yarn has knit up beautifully too, well done :D
Boy, you have been super busy!! All your crochet critters are so cute!! Wingspan is stunning! It truly looks like a wearable rainbow. You are certainly very, very talented
I love the kool-aid dyed yarn in that shawl. Beautiful!
