In between all the traveling, packing, unpacking, eating, sleeping and socializing this weekend I actually managed to do a good deal of crocheting. Of course I could have mentioned this in my previous post earlier today, but since I link my blog posts to my projects on Ravelry I try to keep my posts separate and tidy :)
Anyway, again I brought my alien boy with me, with the hope that I would finally finish him this weekend. I didn't, but there's not much left. One antenna and the bottom of his feet are the only things missing. And his clothes, of course. He's huge! I never expected him to be that tall.. He looks a bit freakish with nothing on his head, but I hope to fix that soon :)
As I can never stick with just one project for any length of time, I just had to do something else. I found some leftover yarn from a sweater my mother had just finished, and with the smallest crochet hook I had at hand, I made these two mushrooms in just one evening:
The yarn was a little bit thinner than what I normally use, so the 3.5mm hook I used was a little too big. A 3mm hook would probably work just as well, it would just make the mushrooms smaller. I have written out the pattern for these mushrooms and posted it here on my new pattern blog. Hope you like it :)
