You all know how I like making different and unusual things either knitting them or crocheting, right? Last night, I learned how to make a round, stuffed item by crocheting.

Anyone want to guess what it will be when it's finished?

Is it going to be a pet "ball"?

A "hot pot" spot?

Dianna

a snowman?
a sun?
a hacky-sack?

Great guesses, Dianna - but I'm not telling...!

It is 3 dimensional, even though it doesn't look it in the picture...

I'd be interested in other guesses - anyone?

More good guesses, Mark!!!

Stay tuned!

It looks 3 dimensional to me, Lynne ~ the photo is showing nicely.

I'm not going to make a guess, however, because you didn't give a size for the thing. The size of it could limit its potential uses...

Also, is it made of ordinary yarn?

If is is yarn and small enough, it could be for something like Catnip. Large enough, and weighted properly, it could be to a set of juggling balls.

You see?

I need more details.


Merme

you're right, Merme - though the size does not really matter in this instance, it is approx. 4 inches around in all directions. Not perfectly round though - a little flat from front to back.

Is this part of something else, bigger? Will it have other parts added or just decorations?

Merme

Very good questions, Merme!!!

yes, other parts will be added - I'm working on them now!

Is the color yellow important?

Merme

You could add triangular pieces around the circumference and make a big sun if yellow is important to the design.

Or it could also be the head or body of a bird viewed from the side.

Way too many possibilities/not enough information.

Merme

Great suggestions, Merme - they both make sense!

I am actually following a pattern
A very BAD pattern that was translated poorly, and even has directions for pieces that are not on this item, and also left out directions for one piece that is. Oh, well... I am learning quite a bit about crocheting as I muddle along, so it's been a good experience.

I have absolutely noooooooo idea..
but Merme's got all the questions I
was thinkin'!!!

i dono but cant wait to see what your makin!

Well with the yellow, it reminds me of a chicks body. Looks good Lynne!

Well, if it's not gremalins.....
Then I need more clues....

OK - DRUM ROLL ........
(it's the closest thing I had!)

May I present "Little Miss Rays of Sunshine"?



Only problem is... her rays came out a bit tooooo curled, and both Amy and Don were teasing me about her Dreadlocks!!! I don't mind - it's her personality! She's starting to grow on me, and is fun to play with!



Don't know if I'll ever make another one, but it was great fun learning all the "new to me" crochet stitches!

That's so cute!! Her personality comes across in the last picture as:

There was a little girl, who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good she was very very good,
But when she was bad she was horrid!


She looks sweet and cuddly but you can see the mischieveousness in her!! :rolleyes:

Good one, Shirley!

And you know what's funny?
When I was a little girl - toddler age - my mom would make my hair into 2 pigtails and curl them into 1 ringlet each, and on my forehead she made 2 short little curls. She always recited that poem to me!!! However did you know?

WOW - I guess it's true - what goes around, comes around!
Back to ringlets, am I? :rolleyes:

I'm going to have to see if I can find a picture of me from then - they took a whole bunch - I was dressed in a poodle skirt too I believe!

"Little Miss Rays of Sunshine" is so cool!
That's very interesting and creative!

--Mark--

I love it Lynne..
Sooooo cute....

Oh I LOVE it!!

My boyfriend calls me "Sunshine". My Dad started it when I was a little girl and it just stuck...many others have picked it up as well. I even have a tatoo of a sunshine. So I love anything and everything that has to do with the sun.
That is way too cute!!

That is the most adorable thing I have ever seen Lynne. You just have to make more!!!

i second that Triss!
Lynne that is way to cute! i hope you do make more and show us!

I'd like too see the same sunshine ball
with yellow, orange and red for the rays of
sunshine..
I think that would be adorable....

I love that...Lynne,so cool!!

Thanks all!
It was fun learning something new - I don't do that often enough these days!

Weezie - I am not partial to the color red, though I do see how that would look nice. I chose the blue color to represent the sky in this instance. You can really make it in any variety of colors - personal preference is all that matters. I didn't care for the colors they used in the pattern, so I brightened it up a bit with the blue and brighter shades of yellow and orange.

This was the "medium" size to make - I was quite surprised at how big it came out - I do think if I make others, they will be the "small" size, though I don't think it will end up being much smaller by looking at the pattern.

She is sooo Cute Lynne I love it!!!

They are sooooo adorable Lynne...well done
