As You Like It Challenge (DT) Anything Goes

Hello peeps, hope you are well on this blustery January day.  Question of the week:  Why do local authorities design wheely-bins to fall over in one puff of air when they are empty???

I shall leave you to ponder that one and move on to our new AS YOU LIKE IT theme which is
Anything Goes!

Since re-learning to crochet last March, I have slowly been building up the courage to try amigurumi (small critters) and finally I settled on this pattern from MisAdventures of Alice for a Squidlet Ⓒ (ok to recreate but not to claim as your own design, and not to sell) to attempt.  The first (pink) was a challenge but they have gotten easier and now they number 6 (Squidlet 006 is away on a secret spying mission and was therefore unavailable for the family photo).  My favourites are the chubby (out of focus, sorry) white one, and the little multi-colour chap just above his head.  The blue/grey one in the centre of the back row is normally my work desk buddy but he begged to come home just for a couple of days.  Apparently nothing much happens in the office once the cleaners have left for the night.


I won't tell you how long the first one took, but I have got them down to about two hours apiece now.

Let your imagination run wild and join us with your creativity for our Anything Goes theme which is sponsored by POLKADOODLES


Hugs to all
