Craft - Month 3
First up I finished the cross stitch by the end of the first week of July. Hooray!
After which I decided to try some other crafts. Back in early spring I had ordered some wool for my mother, and the website I'd ordered from had some free amigurumi crochet patterns, so I'd made a collection and decided to have a go. I have done some crochet, but was finding I was battling with it, so thought I'd try converting the patterns into knitting patterns. I did a lot of knitting in the past, so it turned out okay, and I knitted a whale and a penguin chick.
At which point I realised that I really wanted to knit rather than crochet, and that it would help if I had some actual knitting patterns.
I found the Twenty to Make series with Tiny Toys to Knit and Tiny Christmas Toys to Knit and began with a goldfish.
I then found the website for the publishers of the books: Search Press. Along with ordering another book (more Christmas decorations), I found they had a few free patterns, so I knitted another penguin.
I also bought several small balls of different coloured wool and knitted some parrots.

Also love your little knitted critters, especially the whale and the parrots. Really looks like you've been having fun!

I'm pleased you like them - the parrots in particularly are fun - although fiddly to put together.
