  Everyone! Stop what you're doing and meet Owlbert, the dapper owl! He's the newest creation from @cutecuddlescrochet and the cutest owl I've ever seen in my life! As soon as I saw him I knew I had to make one of my own!

Here's why I loved it! I love patterns that can be used in multiple ways and have repeat value. I fell in love with just the basic cone because it worked up fast and I could make a million flavors. I finally got...

So when I saw this jumbo robot from @storyland_amis, honestly it fit all my criteria! Here's why I love it! I don't usually do large amigurumi with lots of parts because I get very impatient but this was too cute to pass up. I worked slowly through all the different parts and even tried my first rectangle crochet shape! Y'all... It didn't go...
