Tigers!

2011-03-24T11:35:00.000-07:00

So Lauren Over on facebook asked for Tiger patterns. I did some searching and there doesn't seem to be a lot. But here is what I found:
Amigurumi Tiger
Tommy Tiger
Lily Tiger
Tanya Tiger
Crochet tiger Kitty
Hobbes

I hope that gives you a starting point! Other suggestions would be to find a cat pattern you like and add felt stripes like in the first pattern. Or to add some every few rows by changing colors up to the side of the belly.
Here's a few tutorials on how to change colors:

2009-12-29T10:47:00.000-08:00

Better- something I want to constantly be. I am always trying to be a better person(due to my faith in Christ), learn a better stitch, or better technique. I try to pass on what I learn to others too. Sometimes I come off as bossy or pushy but I promise I'm only trying to help and won't be offended if someone does something different than me. :)

Eternity- I believe that I will spend my eternity with God when I die. I believe in Christ being the only way to heaven and that once you are saved you are always saved. Christians are not perfect but we should strive to live a life that is a light to others, and we should be kind, and helpful, as well as forgiving, and loving.

Judging is wrong and is for God not man. And we should spread the word in our daily lives as we walk with Christ.

Thrifty- I was raised with the motto, "if it's still there the next time we go you are meant to have it". So I am always looking to see if something is on clearance, or if I can get more for my money. I frequently shop at thrift stores for my clothing, as well as for sweaters to unravel, and I also rescue stuffed toys. I once found 9 yards of fabric at the 1.00 a lb thrift store and I paid so little for it it wasn't even funny. Discovered at walmart that it was labeled at 5.00 a yard. :) I've even found handspun yarn once!

Hubby- I hate this word but it worked. lol. My husband and I met the year i turned 19. We got married exactly 10 months after we met. We did a lot of praying about it and felt it was the right thing to do. We have been married 3 years now and I think we've been doing pretty well. We never argue and rarely disagree which shocks many people. I strongly believe it is becasue he's the Man God intended for me to marry, but also because of 3 things we have decided are important to our marriage.

communication- We do not go to bed angry. I mean this! It's meant for some long nights but it's been worth it.
lack of selfishness- When I get mad I try to pick aprat why. If the thought is "well I never would have" or "He always does" or anything that makes ME more important than WE then it's selfish and not aplicable.
true forgiveness- We do not bring up the past. It's not real forgiveness if you do. And it HURTs your relationship.

Animals- For as long as I can remember I have been a big animal lover. I have always had some sort of critters. the first were gerbils. Nasty little critters. I still remember they were escape artists and would get loose all the time. The doors in our house had a gap between the bottom and the floor so the little speed demons would run from room to room typically we'd catch them in my mothers closet hiding in her shoes. lol

Next it was guinea pigs. We wound up getting my first guinea pig as an adult. Her name was Angela, she was as smooth haired little sweetheart almost entirely white except she had a brown spot from her bum to her hips and a black spot over one eye. We had so many guinea pigs growing up I can't remember them all! But Angela Started it all.

After the guinea pigs I had turtles, lizards, frogs, and through most of my teen years a fat beagle named Ladybug. Then the Year I turned 16 everything changed.

That's when I met Tachi. I'd been saving for her for over a year. She was my first ferret. I have had a huge soft spot for ferrets ever since and it is my hope t one day own my own ferret shelter. People often think ferrets are rodents or something like a hamster. However they are as smart as a 3 year old child and very interactive. they have to be taught how to properly play with people(aka nip training) and they are not usually a pet that likes to be held.

I strongly believe in researching any pet you intend to own before you buy it due to how I came to own my 3rd and forth ferrets. My sister got them from a lady on freecycle. Saffire had Adrenal disease and ruby was deaf. Poor saffire's cancer had spread to the point he was almost entirely bald. Any ferret purchased from a pet store in the states typically comes from marshal farms, and they almost all will contract one of the 3 common ferret cancers and die before they get to 5 years of age. Tachi, saffire, and ruby all had this happen.

I currently own Toby (2nd ferret) As well as Terra and Siera who were a friends and she discovered she was allergic to them. Along with them our home contains 4 kitties, and a giant yellow dog. :)

Natural fibers- My main stash of yarn is acrylic for a few reasons, 1first I'm a cheapskate. I am also allergic to most wools, this includes but is not limited to: Alpaca, Lambswool, and Angora. I've found that there are some natural fibers I'm ok with like Merino, Bamboo, cotton, and BFL. :) But being cheep I rarely but them.I love the way bamboo looks and feels though and really want t oget some to spin with too.

Yarn- I seem to keep buying yarn when I find it on clearance or sale. I have discovered after sorting my stash recently that most of it is novelty yarns which I hate to use! How that happened I'm not sure but I must be drawn to it or something. I also own very little pink and green yarn. Almost all of mine is in the neutral and Blue family. Which I find amusing since my favroite color is GREEN! lol

people I would like to know more about.....
I'll have to think abut that!

Some neat boyish patterns

2008-11-15T11:14:00.000-08:00

I was using this awesome feature I have installed on my browser called "Stumbleupon" and found this website. It's a part of Micheals crafts and there are some patterns that I thought were particularly boy friendly.
If you are like any other mom, older cousin, or crafter, you know how hard it is to find boy friendly crochet. So here is what I found:

End of April? How is that!

2008-04-28T11:32:00.000-07:00

I'm amazed that april is almost over! I have been so busy it is not even funny! 3 people I know are preggers, I finished my mom's birthday present, and I added a pattern to my etsy (the honeysuckle dragon) as well as participated in swaps and worked a lot! lol

I'm having a bit of a down day since I'm going to have to say goodbye to my beloved Ladybug tomorrow. Ladybug is a beagle and she's 14. I was a meanie and left her with my parents when I got married 3 years ago. she's been acting very strange for the past week and my mom noticed yesterday that she has a mass in her abdomen that is the size of a grapefruit. Ladybug has had a long doggie life, She does not do well in surgery (not that my dad would consider this anyway) and she's old. So Tomorrow I will be saying goodbye.

As a result I need to cheer myself up so I'm posting a bunch of patterns and tut's which have been e-mailed and commented so I could find them over the last month. I hope they are helpful and fun for you guys as I will be throwing myself into some crafty endeavor soon to take my mind off the sadness.

Or you can use tinyurl.com to make a Short url that works for me to view the longer links.
I really appreicate the help guys!

Patterns Please

2008-03-19T10:42:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone! I found some patterns and thought I'd update. I also want everyone to know I'm not abandoning the blog, however I have started working full time. Due to this I haven't had a lot of time to look for patterns. We're also going to be looking for a new church soon more than likely, and I'm going to have a new baby brother this summer! So I'll be really busy.
But I will try to update when I can.
The one thing you can do to help is leave comments with links to blogs that have patterns. I won't have time to do my random searches like I have in the past. Any thing you post I'll put up so long as it's not here all ready. :) I do for-see an amigurumi explosion over the summer as people will have more free time. Perhaps that will mean more patterns too. :)

2008-01-29T06:50:00.001-08:00

HEy guys. I've been super busy with wokr and I'm finally getting over the holidays. I hope to be able to give you some new patterns soon but I haven't seen any right now.
Remember you can always comment with a link and I'd be happy to add it!
Also I wanted to let everyone know something as there seems to be some confusion on what I do here. :)
I don;t save these patterns to my computer. I simply search online for them and post links to the pattern itself. None of these patterns are mine (except the ami pug pattern)And I do not have access to them if a link is broken or not working. However! I do apprecaite you guys letting me know when I mess up and post a link to the wrong thing! lol. Even I can't function without coffee in the morning and I typically update while at work. Many times before that much required cup of coffee. ;) If the link is broken please let me know in a comment.
And remember you can look up patterns of a specific type by clicking on them in the sidebar. I try to tag each post with the types of patterns in it for easy searching. :)
So please keep commenting! I really love reading them! And I hope to post some more soon!

Lion brand patterns!

2007-11-29T09:53:00.000-08:00

For those of you who don't know Lion-brand has tons of free knitting and crochet patterns. All you have to do is sign up! It's free and you get a neat little e-mail with a stitch of the week. :) Or you can sign up and choose not to get the e-mail at all.
Here's some new patterns they put up recently:
Amigurumi alien
Angel Fish
Amigurumi Pig
Bear
Cat
Amigurumi Frog
Gnome
Little Guy
Lion
Amigurumi Octopus
Owl
Amigurumi Panda
Small Amigurumi Penguin
Small Amigurumi Pig
Amigurumi Penguin
Amigurumi Santa
Amigurumi Reindeer
Amigurumi Snowman

And I just have to rant a moment becasue this is something that bugs me. Amigurumi is not just any stuffed toy that's crocheted and cute. For a crocheted toy to be amigurumi it has to be made in the round with mostly or all single crochet. I get very frustrated when any toy that's crocheted is labeled amigurumi! So I have taken the word amigurumi out of the names of the Lion-brand patterns that are two flat pieces stitched together.
If someone knows the definition of knitted amigurumi I'd love to know what it is!

reply to leslie and anapaulaoli patterns!

2007-11-28T07:04:00.000-08:00

"Leslie said...: Is there any way we can buy these patterns? I saw some Disney ones that are adorable, esp. Pooh and Piglet and Dumbo. Thanks."

the only way I know of to buy the japanese patterns is through e-bay or yes asia. Yes Asia is cheaper it just can take a ton longer to get your books. The reason these are so hard to get here is that they are currently only printed in japan or china. And as a result they have to be shipped in a much much longer process. It's cheaper but can take up to a month.
for instant money eating results I'd use e-bay. A lot of sellers have amigurumi books. Just try searching for the following:
Amigurumi, Japanese craft books, nuigurumi, etc.
Many sellers have buy it now items that are available. Also remember on e-bay you can do a search and if what you are looking for isn't available then save your search and e-bay will let you know when an item is listed that fits your search. :)
Sorry if that doesn't help. :(

And to sweetenthis post a bit here are some more adorable patterns by anapaulaoli:
Jellyfish tree ornament
Tiny Cactus
I can't remember if I posted the following or not:

Little Bunny Boohoo

For those of you wondering I am alive. We had a long weekend at renaissance festival on Saturday and were really busy on Sunday with church. Then Monday night we had to put one of our three ferrets to sleep and I feel like I haven't gotten good sleep in a while. I much look forward to being able to sleep in on Friday and Saturday. :)
Due to the ferret being put to sleep my etsy shop has been put on hold. So At some point you can expect some free patterns from me. Not my lobster or koi though sorry. I still want to sell those patterns in case anything happens to one of my other two fuzzies. I will be putting some things up in it in the next few weeks. But till then I'm busy trying to finish my entry for the artsy toys challenge on craftster and spinning up a storm for the Handspun Yarn Swap, not to mention I really need to get off my butt and start some Christmas presents.
But I am trolling for patterns.

Ami List fully supports sharing of Free patterns. However if some how I wind up linking to something and the designer does not want the item linked please Let me know!
I want to support designers and help them get visits and more people exposed to their patterns. But if thy don't like it I respect that.
I do have one designer who has asked me to re-direct my links to her blog and I am planning to do that. (I think I did but can't remember.) Just keep in mind that I do work 4 days of the week and Though I sneak on the computer for you guys I can't be around all day. ;)

This adorable Penguin was made by razortongue on craftster. I love how she crocheted in the back loops. It give the penguin more character!
