Doing a podcast interview is probably the scariest yarn-related activity I can participate in. I used to hate the sound of my own voice, and although I have gotten more used to hearing it ‘on air’, I still wouldn’t go as far as to say that I like it. Not only do I dislike listening […]

Zoe the Crochet Zebra
Zoe the crochet zebra’s ears and legs are joined as you go, making for very little sewing indeed. Her moveable limbs mean that she can sit, stand, and lie down with ease. She has a very large head, making her more of a grazing Zebra than a graceful one. Zoe is the fourth animal in […]

Meimei is 11 cm from front to back (not including her trunk) and 9 cm high (4.3″ x 3.5″). Perfect, right? She has movable limbs, so she can sit and stand with ease. She takes very little […]
Chloe the Crochet Cow Puzzle
