What's a girl to do?
With The Princess and The Hubbs both tucked snugly in bed, I loaded me some Heath into the DVD player (A Knight's Tale - Love. That. Boy.) and dug back into my bag of tricks. There was one pattern in particular that I was interested in trying.
But I was scared.
Why? Because it was for a three-dimensional object. I've only ever crocheted squares and rectangles before...only having used a pattern once.
Bolstered by one of my favorite movies playing in the background, I decided to just go for it. If it sucked, I could always just pull it apart, right?
Surprise of surprises...it didn't suck. It even turned out looking very much like the picture on the pattern, though I used a different filling (didn't have polyfil, so I raided one of The Princess's texture bins for some pinto beans - worked out rather nicely!).
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you (drumroll, please) the teacup pincushion:
And from another angle:
Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. I think one of my next projects will be making different colored beanbags for The Princess to play with...and to be used for weighting her backpack.
That's awesome! I totally love it! You should make another one that isn't filled in and make it a hat. That would rock!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible. What a cute project for gifts. And if you made it during one movie, it will be an easy and inexpensive gift.
ReplyDeleteJello: watch what you say...I know someone with a baby on the way who just may receive a teacup hat. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive feedback, ladies! I'm having a lot of fun learning to do all of this stuff, and it's really nice when something turns out how I intend it to.
That's pretty awesome. I never ventured into 3D crocheting. I think I might try.
