Plesiosaur Amigurumi

I found a cute little pattern for a Plesiosaur Amigurumi and here is the finished result:

I wasn't a big fan. He's cute but a little funny lookin, and I think I sewed the flippers on too high. My sewing is not that great, I learned a few basics of sewing when I was little from my grandma, so in sewing with crochet, I kind of just wing it and hope it works. The ones that she made were a lot cuter. The pattern for this amigurumi is here. 

On my next attempt, I decided to try something a little different. I added legs and made it into like a long neck type dinosaur. I like the way that this one turned out a lot better.

For the legs all I did was a magic circle and then put seven single crochets in it. I then just put one sc in each sc around for seven rows, then stuffed them and sewed them on the body. 

Happy Crocheting,

Crocheted Rubber Duckie

I started crocheting this about two years ago.I finished all the crocheting part, but couldn't find the right size safety eyes to put in it, so it just went to the back of my closet and was forgotten about, until the other day when I went to buy 9mm safety eyes for my dinosaur (which I will be posting soon) and saw the 6mm ones and remembered the duck and was like, hey! I can finally finish it! So here it is, finally with eyes, stuffed, and sewn together. This was a free pattern I found online, you can download the pdf here for free! There are many other patterns on the site, some free and some not. I think one of my next projects is going to be the angel duck, and I'm also tempted to buy the other duck patterns they have on there. They're so cute!
Happy Crocheting.

Introduction To My Blog

I created this blog because I wanted to have a place to share my creations with people who might be interested in them. I mostly crochet, but I love doing other crafts as well! I will probably post some of the other crafty things I do in addition to just things that I crochet. I don't make my own patterns, but most of the ones I use I just get for free online, so I will post links to where I got the pattern when ever I post a new creation! :) I'm a college student, so when school is in session you will probably see periods where I don't post anything but I will try to post new things as often as I can.

I called this blog the crocheting ninja turtle, because the name combines two of my favorite things! :) Pretty much anything to do with Hello Kitty or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I absolutely love/have to have. Turtle is also one of my nick names, so I just added the ninja in front of it. 
Happy Blogging,
