Feature Friday (again on Thursday!)

I came across this very cute crochet site on Etsy the other day. I love with The Nerds Nest sushi plays set and the plush smores. These are knitted in the Amigurumi Japanese style of knitting or crocheting small anthropomorphic creatures. They are knitted by Alexa, a full-time college student and part-time crafter. Just the kind of clever and fun that Krafty Katina and OmMama love!

New Favorite Knit!

The Big Book of Knitted Monsters and MochiMochi knits are really awesome and keeping me well entertained. But there is a knitter out there who needs to get her own book published. While browsing newly posted Ravelry patterns the other night I came across Dawn Finney's Big Knitted Moon!!! Her other space and science knits already had me tickled pink but I almost jumped off my couch and ran around squealing when this massive moon came into view. The craters randomly dispersed, the adorable little eyes, the wonderful mooniness of this guy just makes him so wonderful. I haven't knit any of these wonderful amigurumis but they are definitely on my list to knit. These will make great classroom props when I'm a teacher!! Ms. Finney, get yourself published!

Happy Pattern Searching,

Cerise : )
