The fat just walks away... Adipose = Fat

Whovians know what an Adipose Baby is...we all want one.  They are so darn cute!  So today  I'm giving you an opportunity to have one of your own!  Don't crochet?  Here is the listing of my ready to go Adipose Baby =)

So darn cute!

Materials:

F hook (or hook needed to obtain a tight fabric)
small amount of white ww yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in Soft White)
Small amt of black (for mouth)
6mm safety eyes  (You can always embroider this with a bit of black yarn!)
tapestry needle (to attach limbs etc)
fiberfill


Abbreviations:

MR: magic ring
sl: slip
st: stitch
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
sc2tog: single crochet 2 together
f.o.: finish off
FLO: front loop only
BLO: back loop only

Note:
I use American terminology.  Be sure to read through the pattern before you begin.  If the pattern reads, "sc, 2sc, sc2tog" it would be read as "single crochet, 2 single crochet in next stitch, single crochet the next 2 stitches together".   I like to use "invisible decreases"- use FLO, it helps the fabric lie smoother.  Stuff your project as you progress.  Unless noted otherwise the Adipose Baby is worked in amigurumi style in the round without joining. Make sure you mark your rounds, a scrap piece of contrasting yarn works great!
 The Adipose Baby you make from my pattern is yours to do with as you please.  I ask that you please not distribute or represent my pattern as your own.  If you feel like sharing, please direct people to my blog :)  I like visitors!

Market Season, dolls, and a giant frog!

Market season is finally here and that is why I have been "too busy" to blog lol

A lot of new items are ready for my stall and a couple new patterns are almost done!

Christmas is also quickly approaching and orders are already beginning to trickle in for all kinds of different things!  From fingerless mitts to Jack Sparrow!

Swashbuckling Jack Sparrow

Jack's Pirate Boots

 

 

Jack was a challenge brought by a friend who needed a Jack Sparrow for a son's birthday ASAP!  Jack was so much fun but I can assure you the hair was tedious!  Each dreadlock was crocheted a little different length to help keep his dread pirate look as real as possible ;)

 

 

I found an absolutely amazing book and I have been having lots of fun with it!  If you love to make dolls you cannot pass up on AmiguruME by Allison Hoffman !  Here are a few dolls I created by using her book (of course these designs are not all in the book...use your imagination!) 

10th Doctor Who (David Tennant)

Sonic time!

11th Doctor Who (Matt Smith)

Fez's & Bowtie's are cool!

Look out! Weeping Angel! Don't Blink! (Weeping Angel is my design)

Sherlock (BBC Benedict Cumberbatch)

I am SHERLOCKED!

Back of Sherlock

Morticia Addams

Wednesday Addams

Wednesday is not thrilled

Pugsley Addams

Pugsley always seems happy

Gomez Addams

Gomez (John Astin was my influence)

And now for something completely different.....

I am currently preparing the pattern for this big guy and it will soon be in my Etsy Shop !   But the kids need to give the pattern a name first...any suggestions?

Me and  the giant frog!

And what do you think about eyebrows on him? ye/nay?

Ok everyone I am back to the pattern checking business!  Be sure to check out Allison Hoffman's book!  I love it!

Happy Hooking!
