Knight

My good buddy, Brett, is leaving for his LDS mission in August so I thought I would make him a goodbye gift. I made him a little knight from the Creepy Cute crochet book. Working on this pattern, I finally figured out how to do the basic head! I've always had problems with the instructions but the head would always turn out round and that was enough for me. Now, I won't have to struggle because I have finally figured how to do it correctly! I was so happy because the head came out like it was supposed to.

Anyway, I love this Knight pattern. This little guy is so cute and he comes with a shield, sword, and helmet. I figured this was a good amigurumi to make for Brett as a knight is one to go out on quests and  adventures (at least from what I've seen in movies). And Brett is about to go on an adventure himself, leaving home for two years, to share his beliefs with others.

He liked the knight so much I was rewarded with multiple high fives! Whoo!

Queen Vampire

I made an amigurumi for Donna's friend, Gavon. He asked for a Queen Vampire from the Creepy Cute Crochet book so the Nosferatu I made him a while ago wouldn't be lonely. He asked for this some time ago and I didn't make it until just yesterday. It turned out well although I ran out of black yarn for the hair. It's enough hair as long as the hair is scrunched up a bit to fill in the bald spots.
