The latest on Haggis…

I thought It was about time I did another crochet related post… So I thought you’d all like to see how Haggis is coming along.

I have to admit I am a bit behind schedule with where I wanted to be at this stage… but Finn ran a temperature of 102.5 and had a touch of vomiting for a few days earlier this week. Not that you’d know to look at him as he was still so full of beans it was a job to just get him to occasionally stay still to take the Calpol between all his running around. Whatever Finn had has gone & he fought it off without any anti-biotics this time. Unfortunately for Haggis it meant he got a bit neglected… so after finishing this post I’m going to make it up to him and continue with his shaggy coat.

I’m happy with his body shape and I’ve sorted out where his arms and legs are going to go. He’s looking a bit naked up top and a bit like a squid down below so more hair is needed and fast! The Jojoland melody is a true joy to use and I can’t wait to see how the colours change on his shaggy coat when they’re felted.

So that’s all for now as I’m itching to give Haggis some more hair

The last competition was so much fun lets do it again!

The naming competition for my last amigurumi pattern was so much fun I thought we’d have another competition… But this time something different as the pattern I’m working on is called ‘Haggis’ the highland cow. So after much thought the competition page was born and here we go again! There are two chances to win & all you have to do is answer the 2 questions on the competition page…. let your imaginations go wild & the competition will run until Haggis is completely finished

Sneak preview of Haggis….

My Lion pattern is nearing completion… I’m working out the last bits of his head & mane at the moment. The muzzle, body, arms & legs are done and look just how I pictured in my head

As soon as the head and mane sections are crocheted… I’ll felt all the pieces & keep my fingers crossed that my original felted swatch tension was correct so I won’t have to re-do any parts!

So while you’re waiting for the finished lion I thought you’d like to see my outline sketch of the next amigurumi toy…

His name is Haggis the highland cow. He’s going to be very shaggy all over with curly horns next to his ears and a loveable grin.
