The Best of DIY

I was recently contacted by a friend to create an amigurumi animal for a newborn baby gift. I haven’t worked on any amigurumi creations for months so I jumped at the opportunity. This amigurumi horse is what came out of it! I think I’ll make another one to sell on my etsy shop, Creative Craftings. Stay tuned!

Craftstylish has a great tutorial on how to make this Cozy Crochet Curtain Tieback. I recently moved into an apartment from the 70’s and some of the decorations are still from that timeperiod. This curtain tieback would make for a nice addition to the decorations as well as holding back my curtains to let the sun shine in. I’m in need of a new crochet project.

I absolutely love the creations and talent of Roman Sock! These tiney Mollie Flowers are just one of the newest creations and you can create your own by downloading the tutorial. I love crocheting and crocheting tiny things is my favorite. You can probably join enough flowers to make into a coaster, pot holder or to frame.

Spritestitch is a great resource for all nerdy crafts, I found this really cool Knit Mario Bros pillow there! Knitting Nonni created this awesome Nintendo pillow and blogged about the process. She used a knitting machine, crocheted some of it and used knitting charts for the design. Check out her amazing work and try creating your own pillow.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope that special someone is taking you out to celebrate! For your viewing pleasure I’ve compiled some of the best Valentine themed amigurumi.

This has got to be the coolest scarf ever! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know about or love Guitar Hero, but this scarf would sure prove that you can rock the Hero. Meekssandygirl over at Crafster crocheted this one of a kind Guitar Hero scarf and it is to the song Knights In Cydonia by Muse. This would also make for a nice guitar strap. Check out Meekssandygirl over at etsy as well, she has some really cool crochet art.
