crochet guinea pigs

oreo, cream puff, freckles, cappucino and snowflake



i had a little too much fun naming these baby guinea pigs and wish i could have made more. snowflake was made during a snowstorm and cream puff was made for a little boy with sweet cheeks. i had ideas for a yellow one named sunny and even started one i was calling peaches.

ariel is also finished and jack and rapunzel are almost there. my poor arm is screaming no more! with each stitch i make, but i don't have too much left to do. can you believe i hot glued rapunzel's arm on the wrong way?! she was so close to being finished and now i have to make her a whole new arm. grrr. that's what i get for trying to take the easy route i guess. (serious amigurumi-ists use stitches only.)

the weather is crazy warm this weekend and my pansies that were just covered in snow are standing up like it's spring! amazing. ok, enough procrastinating.

enjoy your day!

    1. thanks elizabeth! my mom and mom-mom taught me how to do a chain when i was young and then my friend missy taught me the basic stitch to make a blanket. we were in college and we'd sit and crochet the night away, having philosophical talks on life and religion, while watching tv.=) a few years ago i wanted to learn how to make other things so i bought a book and watched youtube videos. yarn stores usually offer classes too.

      thank you, and a very merry christmas and the happiest of new years to you and your family! thank you for always coming here and saying the nicest things. i really appreciate it! xoxoxox

    2. That is so awesome! I will have to watch some videos and perhaps get a book. I would just love to learn. I only know basic sewing and cross stitching.
      Hope you are keeping warm and hope your Christmas was beautiful! We surprised the 5 children and took them to Disney last minute. We rented a cabin at the campground for 2 nights and had a blast at Magic Kingdom.
