Busy Little Elf
When I’m quiet it usually means I’m busy, especially at this time of year … busy working on Christmas preparations and gifts.
As I’ve mentioned before, video games are an all consuming theme in the life of my 9-year-old. Hana loved the Piranha Plant I made for her birthday. I’m now working on an amigurumi Mario, Boo and mushroom using patterns from the same designer, Michelle Rheaume.
Hana’s not the only one who loves video games, my husband has been playing Angry Birds on his iPhone. Someone, I think it was Amy Singer, tweeted about a free angry bird pattern on Ravelry. So now that’s also in the works. I need to complete it before school’s out because I want Hana to be surprised too and I can’t work on it at night when my husband’s home. I better get cracking!
How are you holiday projects coming along?

What great gifts!
Thanks! I’ve been having fun with them.
Oh, you’re making the Angry Bird………. JR is waiting for the man from China to deliver his angry bird stuffie (it’s a long story) and of course, there’s no Angry Bird on the way. Then I saw this pattern but I haven’t gotten around to getting the right colours to try it out for him. Did it take you long?
You can make it in an evening or two. It doesn’t take all that long. The most fiddly part is sewing on all the bits and pieces.
Hello I am new to knitting and was wondering on how you did the ‘D’ on the sweater? it’s funny happy at the same time because the sweater that you made is almost exactly like I am going to do my colors are just a tad darker…what yarn did you choose to use?
thanks Darcy!
