The Great White - Crocheted

Can crochet be cute and scary? I think this Great White amigurumi might just prove it.

 

I have always loved sharks, and once had a very close encounter when snorkeling with my Dad. We were swimming along and before we knew what was happening two sharks were swimming underneath and around us. I was very scared but my dad told me to swim for shore slowly and confidently and he would stay in the water so the sharks didn't follow me. I must have been quite frightened because I landed on the other side of the beach - by the time I had walked back to our area, my Dad was already back and enjoying a cold beer. We later discovered the sharks we saw were big but harmless black tips.

   

This Great White is considering eating something yummy.

Yep thats it! A snorkeler!

 

Well maybe just a leg...

 

Yum!

New Year - New Hopes

Happy New Year!!

I am really looking forward to 2009, I hope it will be life changing. This is a little run down of people that inspire me at the moment.

The first is Joanna Rutter, I am collecting her jewelry its charm and cuteness itself!

 

These are tiny little earrings, the first ones I bought.

 

This is my current collection tiny chicks, clouds and ferns.

 

and the sweetest fox pendent known to man!

I am also in love with K1Yarns it is my local yarn store and it seems to draw me to it like a bee to honey. They have the widest selection of exotic and interesting yarns and do a great mail order service well worth a look if you fancy something different.

In an effort to keep warm I have been scarf crocheting and I am particularly pleased with this one. Its made out of aran alpaca and is so so warm, which is very necessary in the extreme cold of Scotland.

 

Even polar bears are cold here!

I like the soft puffiness.

 

Keep warm and happy!!
