And a pretty little bow to make it cute


And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have here Robyn sporting the newest hat here on Late Night Crocheting

The creator got the pattern from   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x17lugL31H0

It's very nice, almost professional looking! (kinda sorta...)



The little bow on the hat came from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcxz3r9VZoQ 

Please check out both crochet youtubers, they both have great tutorials ^-^

AND MOAR HAIR ACCESORIES!!


This is a star I made into a hair pin. I got the pattern form Crochet Geek on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BQ0xt7jDvc

A closer look

MOAR HAIR ACCESORIES!!!

 Using Robyn as a model again, I am showing off a pony tail.  I used the pattern from  http://christinassunshinehaven.com/hair_acc/large_hair_scrunchie.htm
 Not much to say about it... so....
 Just looking at the different angles
And it's on my wrist! (big deal....)

lacey shirt... sorry I can't make up a good title for this one...


This is a shirt I made, the first one I have.  I was an interesting experience.  I got the pattern from  http://www.naturallycaron.com/projects/avalon/avalon_1.html  They do have changes in the pattern for sizes.  I went with small, and my shirt doesn't look as graceful as the one shown, but I like it.  As you can see, you need to wear an under shirt

 A close up of the sleeve.  I like the sleeves lol.
 This is the bottom of the shirt
And the flower decor on the top.  It is pretty holey, but it's yarn so it's warm until the wind blows, then the bare skin gets cold but the yarn is still warm. It's hard to explain, but it's a weird feeling rofl ^-^

I'm not just a piece in their games....


 My best friend's birthday is coming up, and she is one of the biggest fans of Hunger Games I know.  So when I found  a grid pattern for the mokingjay symbol at http://hungergamesdwtc.net/hunger-games-crafts/crochet/small-mockingjay-pinsquare/  I had to make her a book bag.


It... uh... came out bigger than intended.  It's about 18 inches.  just saying, if you use their grid, use single crochet, not half-double or double, unless you want it sooo big.  Maybe I'll turn it into a shirt next time, it's big enough lol

Time for hair accessories!!!





This is a flower that I made then attached a bobby pin to.  I got the pattern from http://www.favecrafts.com/Kitchen-Crochet/PinkRose-Bouquet-Crochet-Pattern#  but I cut it off before the last row.

Also, this is my new model, Her name is.... Robyn (yeah, I just made that up lol)  She's only a head, so if I make any shirts, I'll be modeling, but I'm not going to show my face. I don't really like the idea of many pictures of me being on the internet.

I wanna be the very best! Like no one ever was!!

 So, I've got my Bulbasaur!


 I got my Charmander!


 I got my Pikachu!


And I've got Squirtle!


And I'm ready to be a Pokemon Master!!!


So, I found a baby dragon pattern, found here http://myskillsguide.blogspot.com/2010/11/baby-dragon.html  and I thought, if I could change small things, I could make many pokemon!  The only thing I didn't change from the original pattern are the feet/hands.  I've even modified the dragon head a little bit.  I made up the shell, bulb...thing... and lightening tail ^-^ it's my first time I made up my own pattern, I guess besides the pokeball, but I was working on these before I thought of that... so... I don't know....

I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine!

 So, after I showed  my sister the wrong colored pokeball, she asked if I could make a pink ball for a friend's kid.  While I was trying to figure out about spheres work in crochet, I discovered a round shape that I thought would be perfect for a jelly fish.  I asked my sister if she thought a jelly fish would be better than just a ball.  She agreed, so I went to work.
 This shot is to show the beady eyes
 and here's the tentacles
full body shot of the jelly fish

Mario Mushroom!

This is what I ended up making for my and Boyfriend's year anniversary.  I got it from http://pixelatedmushroom.blogspot.com/2010/05/pixelated-mushroom-rug.html  and the hardest part was hiding this from him, cause I had so many squares to hide lol (hmm, short entry...)

GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL!!!

 It's a Pokeball!! Ok, I know it's the wrong color, but, I currently don't have enough white to make a proper colored pokeball, and no money to buy any.  All my yarn comes from nice people, like my boy friend, though I try not to rely on him too much, because he also buys me lunch practically 3 times a week, and he doesn't have a job either.
And I know I said earlier I don't like pink, but I got some for Christmas from my sister, who loves pink, so.... there you go.  And pink is very helpful when you're crocheting spring time things
I used these colors specifically because I knew I'd rarely use them for anything else anyways.  I didn't to use it for something.

MOAR PONIES!!!

 This is a mini pony!!!  again it's Doctor Whooves, and I don't know if I'm going to use this pattern again, which can be found at http://myskillsguide.blogspot.com/2011/10/little-pony-version-2.html
I'm not sure how to go about adding eyes, and the mane and tail just.... suck, not that I blame the pattern, it's not a bad one at all, it just only really works with ponies with long manes, which Doctor Whooves does not.  I might look at it again, when I take a stab at making Applejack

Spring time!!!








I'm not going to caption every picture in this one, cause there's not really anything to say about each.  I found this pattern at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONBngd29vZo  from the Crochet Geek.  I'm selling these on my esty account at fuchsiagorrila32

Turtle Power!

 Look! It's Donatello!
 and Leonardo!
 and Michelangelo!!!!
And all of them together!!! Yeah, I know Raphael is missing, but I made him months before I made the others.  The plan was to give my boyfriend his favorite turtle, Raphael, for his birthday, and the rest for our year anniversary.  But I was leaving for Portland for a little more than a week in January, and he was kinda getting mopey about it, so I just gave him Raf at that time, and the other for his birthday.  The year anniversary present will show up in a later post. (Gah! Kitteh! Get out of my crochet blog!!)  I got the patterns from http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=209461.0

SSSSSSSSSSSSSS BOOM!!!

*SSSSSSSSSSSSS*
OH GOD NO PLEASE DON'T BLOW UP!!!
 *SSSSSS-*  ok
*walks away*




 For those who don't play Minecraft, this is a creeper.  It sneaks up behind you, and explodes, killing you.  It has kinda become the mascot for Minecraft.  I got the pattern from http://nerdigurumi.com/2011/09/amigurumi-minecraft-creeper-pattern.html  The face is made by sewing felt.  But now I have a hot glue gun, so it'll be easier to make next time I do.  If you want one, I am selling these on my esty account at fuchsiagorrila32
