For birthday I made some Pokemon, starting with Psyduck.

I would like to personally thank whoever donated these crochet books to 😁 I was well chuffed when I saw them. I fully intend to make doll versions of (almost) everyone I know 🤣

I'm currently making badges and watching the final day of the WSL ❤️ If anyone has any bonkers badge requests, let me know!

Another Roberto Dachshund from the Pica Pau books. This little guy is actually not that little, he's around 23 inches from nose to tail (standard sized paperback for scale). He also doesn't have a home yet 👀
This is the last Dachshund I'll be making for a while because I want to make some of the other patterns in the book 🙈🤣 I also spend a lot of the time while making these thinking about how people regularly say Dachshund INCORRECTLY and it makes me irrationally furious 🤬😤 Please see the final slide for a correct pronunciation!

I made another Scrump back in January and then totally forgot to post it 🤦 so here it is.

Every night last week when I got in from work (and some weekend time) I was winding and tidying my yarn stash. It gave me chance to do a mental stock check and plan some new projects with yarn I forgot I had (mainly because once it's out of sight, it almost ceases to exist).
Video description: Gemma is sitting at a desk using a manual yarn winding machine to tidy yarn into "cakes". Gemma is wearing a blue/grey t-shirt with dinosaur shapes on, and her face looks very serious but that's just because she's concentrating on winding the yarn and watching a WSL match at the same time.

I don't usually share stuff until it's gone to the new owner, but this massive dinosaur doesn't have a home to go to yet 🤔 It's the same Pica Pau pattern as the other dinosaurs I've made before but I used three strands of yarn together (one a sort of dark coral/pink, and two variegated pink and orange) and a big hook. I started it about a year ago but had to take long breaks because the tension was really hurting my hands.
(a 6 foot 2 for scale 🤣)

I recently made two more aliens like the ones I made last summer for my colleague's granddaughter. These ones are now named Bob and Lily and having a lovely time with their new owner 😁

I identify very strongly with this little weightlifting piggy! The pattern says his name is Terry, but I don't feel like he looks like a Terry 🤔 this pattern was the main reason I bought the magazine though.

Another little sausage, except this one is more medium sized and I made him with variegated blue/grey/green/white yarn and I think he turned out very cute 😁
