Spanky Ham

This was requested by a man at work. He absolutely loves him. He is Spanky Ham from the cartoon Drawn Together. Known for his cantankerous ways he's one of my favourites. This is a free pattern again. All I ask is that you give credit to where you go the pattern and hopefully more will continue coming. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Makka Pakka

My first first free pattern is the ever adorable Makka Pakka from In the Night Garden. He was a present for my 1 year old nephew who absolutely adores this show. In fact, it was the first show he new how to say all the characters names. Remember he's free to make. This is a completely original pattern, I made it from three source pictures. Let me know if you have any questions about it. When making my amigurumis I use a magic circle (aka adjustable loop) you can use whatever method you like though. Sorry for any mistakes.

Any worsted weight yarn (bernat oatmeal supersaver was the closest colour that I was able to find) and a worsted weight dark brown
eyes I used embroidery floss, dark brown and white
4.0mm hook

New to This

Well, I'm starting this blog to get my name out there a little more. On this I hope you will find many things you find interesting. My aim is to put up some interesting patterns, pics and news updates for my very small, but growing small business. I hope to one day do this full time, but that's a long way off. I hope you will like what you see and pass around any info you find interesting. I only ask that if you do use a pattern, or wish to have something you see on here you let me know. All the free patterns are up for any use. I would appreciate a small mention of where and who you obtained the pattern from. I hope you like what you will come to see on here.
