True 🩵Blue🩵 Goose!

Posted on by aboutyarntime

I’ve had my eye on this big goose crochet pattern by Moontyasha for so long, and I finally treated myself to it! I had this really cool textured yarn that I wanted to use for it, and was afraid I wouldn’t have enough – but it turned out that one skein was enough to make not just a big goose, but also a small one!

I wanted to do something other than pink hearts because not everyone is a fan of pink, and I felt that blue was the perfect compliment to this gray colored yarn.

The use of these unique and discontinued yarns, of course, means that each of these geese – big and small – are quite unrepeatable! There will only ever be 2 big geese and 2 baby geese like these.

I want to share the True 🩵Blue🩵 Goose love! If you want one of these rare, lovely, cuddly, comfort creatures, check in my shop to see what is available!

Big Love Nessie

Posted on by aboutyarntime

I’ve had my eye on this Nessie crochet pattern by Moontyasha for so long, and I finally treated myself to it! I had this really cool textured yarn that I wanted to use for it, and was afraid I wouldn’t have enough – but it turned out that I had plenty, as well as some left over to make a baby Nessie, too!

With Valentine’s right around the corner and with deep maroon yarn, I thought a heart themed Nessie would be perfect. This design made good use of the many different textures and colors of pink yarn that I had on hand.

The use of these unique and discontinued yarns, of course, means that each of these Nessies – big and small, are completely one of a kind. My next Nessie – and yes, there will be more, because they are so fun to make, will be completely different. 

30+ hours of crochet, construction, and addition of details means that these are rare finds, as most fiber artists are loathe to part with their creations. I, however, want to share the love. If you want one of these lovely, cuddly, comfort creatures, check in my shop to see what is available!

Kitty Desk Companion

Posted on by aboutyarntime
So many accessories!

This little cat was a special project for my sister. I needed something to get me out of my creative slump, and she needed something for her desk at work!

Kyo, my sister’s companion.

So I set out on a journey to make a cute little effigy of her little cat that could keep her company at work. Kyo is a muted, or “pastel” tortoiseshell kitty, and I wanted to do her coloring justice.

Nailed it!

I blended light gray with a pretty beige/gold color to mimic Kyo’s coloring. And of course, added the green to her eyes.

Then it was accessory time! I bought some tiny 5mm magnets to use to help the hats stay in place. And Bobby pins to secure her wings!

It’s a Horsey!

Posted on by aboutyarntime

The pattern came from The Nicole Chase and it was so easy to follow.

I used the same chenille yarn that I used on the little moose snuggler I made earlier this year, so this little horse is super cuddly soft!

This was an easy pattern to follow, and I was able to complete it in about 6 hours!

Want one for yourself?

Check out my shop and have one made to order in the colors you want!

It can even be a unicorn 🦄 🙂

Cuddly Soft Moose

Posted on by aboutyarntime

I had a special request for a gender-neutral baby gift for a couple who are waiting for the baby to be born to know what they have, and who also like the outdoors and country cabin living.

He’s so cuddly!

So we came up with this little guy. The inspiration came from – of course – Pinterest.

I found this great pack of chenille yarn in different shades of brown on Amazon and set to work designing the head and antlers for myself.

He’s so soft!

Because I needed him to be safe for baby, I went ahead and made these crochet eyes for him. They give him the cutest face!

I hope that he will be treasured for years to come 🥰

Here be BABY dragons :)

Posted on by aboutyarntime
Such a sweet face!

I found some really plush, soft and luxurious purple velvet yarn on clearance at Hobby Lobby – or as I call it, HibbityBibbity, and have been trying to figure out what to make with it. I also had some silver velvet yarn that I snagged from the thrift store. What to make… what to make…?

Que Pinterest! I was scrolling along one night and found this blog with a free pattern for a cute little baby dragon and thought “Aha! There’s my purple velvet plushie right there!”

Just wingin’ it

Granted, the blog post looks like it was translated from a different language and there was some information lost in translation, so I had to wing it – haha pun intended – and do what I thought would look best for the yarn size I had and the size I was going for on my plushie.

He just wants a hug, really.

Eventually I will get around to writing up my own version of this pattern because his face really is too cute and I think others will enjoy making one for themselves 🙂

It turns out that one made with standard acrylic yarn is just as cute!

Still adorable 🙂

I’ll definitely continue making these since I just love their faces 🥹

So cute!

Check out my Etsy to see the acrylic yarn version available for adoption!
