Under the Sea Amigurumi Crochet Patterns

Hi crafty friends! It's been a while since I've posted and I bet you are all ready for some crochet inspiration.....maybe in the form of some free patterns?!  Yes?! Travelling around the blogosphere lately has been loads of fun and always leaves me overflowing with ideas and motivation to share with you.  Just for fun I decided to do a nautical theme for our get together today. So grab your coffee or tea, sit back, relax and enjoy some crochet eye candy!

Can you believe that the year is half over?  Yep, we're over half way to Christmas already!  Sooo....I guess it's time to start thinking about all those cozy fall crochet projects, as well as Halloween projects.  I'm working on a new super cute (and free) amigurumi Chihuahua pattern right now, as well as continuing to write patterns for some of my original dolls..so I'll be super busy between now and then, but I'm already on the lookout for some special holiday crochet patterns for the upcoming holidays because they'll be here before we know it!

What are all of you working on these days?  Please feel free to post a link so we can all check it out.

Thanks for visiting as always!

Fascinating Crochet!

While browsing the web today, I ran across the website of one very talented crochet artist by the name of Shauna Richardson, and I was both fascinated and amazed at what I saw!  Shauna's creations, which she calls "Crochetdermy" are a feast for the eyes, and unlike any crocheted work that I've ever seen.  Shauna's creations are not what comes to mind when you think of crocheted animals. They look more like 'taxidermy", which is why Shauna coined the term "Crochetdermy" to better describe the work that she does. Here is a just a small sampling of her amazing work!
