Opičje zadeve / Monkey business

Uhuu, moj amigurumi živalski vrt se je povečal za opice!

Uhuu, my amigurumi zoo got bigger for monkeys!

Poleg razlike v barvi telesa se opici razlikujeta še v številu vrst v bež beli volni na rokah in nogah. Škrlatno (je to pravo ime za to barvo volne?) opico sem namreč naredila najprej, zelena pa je bila nato deležna izboljšav.

Besides the difference in body colors, monkeys have different number of rows in beige white yarn on arms and feet. I made crimson (is that the right name for this yarn color?) monkey first and then added some imrovements to the green one.

Opici sta visoki približno 21,5 cm, za izdelavo sem uporabila:
- 4,5 mm kvačko.
- 50 g volno Gruendl Four Season, Lisa uni v škrlatni (14), zeleni (33) in bež (02) barvi; nekaj rdeče volne za usta.
- črn filc za oči.
- sintetično polnilo.

Monkeys are about 21,5 cm tall, for making them I used:
- 4,5 mm crochet hook.
- 50 g yarn Gruendl Four Season, Lisa uni in crimson (14), green (33) and beige (02) color; some red yarn fore mouths.
- black felt for eyes.
- synthetic stuffing.

Kvačkan trak za ušesa / Crochet earband

Rdeča volna je bila ravno pravšnja za kvačkan trak za ušesa za šestmesečno punčko. Želela sem uporabiti nov način nanizanja zank  in na koncu uporabila šiv v obliki zvezd (Glede napačnih kvačkarskih izrazov se opravičujem, ampak slovensko kvačkarsko izrazoslovje mi je popolnoma tuje, ker sem se kvačkati naučila z navodili in videi v angleščini.).

Red yarn was just right for a crochet earband for a six month old girl. I wanted to use learn a new stitch and I end up using a star stitch.

Za piko na i sem prišila še rožico v beli barvi.

For a finishing  touch I added a flower in white color.

In kaj pravi mala modooka uporabnica traku? Nič kaj, je pa zato njena mami pohvalila trak. :)

And what says the little blue eyed user of earband? Not much, but compliments about earband came from her mother. :)

Uporabila sem:
- 5 mm kvačko.
- 100 g volno znamke Red heart (soft aran) v rdeči barvi (00004) in belo volno za rožico.

I used:
- 5 mm crochet hook.
- 100 g yarn from Red heart (soft aran) in red color (00004) and white color yarn for the flower.

Premalo zajčkov / Not enough bunnies

Med brskanjem za amugurumi igračkami sem naletela na spletno stran Lilleliis, kjer svoje izdelke predstavlja Mari-Liis. In to kakšne izdelke! Njeni amigurimiji so čudoviti! Med njenimi brezplačnimi načrti, se nahaja ta za smešnega zabavnega zajčka.

While looking for amigurumi toys I came across the web site Lilleliis, with amigurumi's designed by Mari-Liis. And what amigurumi's. They are beautiful! Amongst her free patterns, there is one for Funny Bunny.

 

 

Zajček meri v višino približno 21 cm, posebej mi je všeč v kombinaciji z ušesi iz pisane volne.

Bunny measures around 21 cm in height, I particularly like it in combination with ears in mixed color yarn.

Misel dneva: Zajčkov ni nikoli preveč :)

Thought of he day: There is never enough bunnies :)

Kvačkana sovica, obesek za ključe / Crochet owl keychain

Že nekaj let sem imela na obesku za ključe malo plišasto zeleno modro ribo. Lahko si predstavljate kako žalostno izrabljeno je izgledala. Ko sem na All about Ami zasledila objavo glede obeska v obliki sovice, sem se hitro lotila kvačkanja.

For a few years I had a little green blue fish on my keychain. You can only imagine how sad worn out it looked. When I saw a post on All about Ami about a owl keychain, I quickly started crocheting.

Načrt za sovico je delo Josephine iz "A Morning Cup of Jo Creations".

Pattern for owl is from Josephine from "A Morning Cup of Jo Creations".

Sedaj samo upam, da ne izgubim ključev ;)
Now I can only hope not to lose my keys ;)

Lp,

Pingvina Sam in Amy / Penguin Sam and Amy

Glede na to, da dežuje že cel teden, sem imela (še več) časa za kvačkanje. Pri izbiri ideje za amigurumi mi je pomagala prijateljica, ki mi je poslala načrt za pingvina, parček Sam in Amy.

Considering that is's raining all week, I had (even) more time to crochet. An idea for amigurumi came from a friend who sent me a pattern for penguins, couple called Sam and Amy.

A nista luštna? :) Načrt zanju je delo DDs Crochet, pdf verzijo pa lahko najdete na Ravelry.

Aren't they cute? :) Pattern for them is from DDs Crochet, but the pdf version is on Ravelry.

Uporabila sem:

- kvačko velikosti 4,5 mm.

- volno različne barve.

- sintetično polnilo.

I used:

- 4,5 mm crochet hook.

- Different colors of yarn.

- Synthetic stuffing.

Naredi sam: Prstani iz gumbov / DIY: Button rings

Vse se je začelo, ko sem pri fantovi omi iskala tri navadne bele gumbe, ki bi jih prišila na posteljnino - s katere so magično izginili :o V manjši škatli so se poleg navadnih gumbov skrivali pravi lepotci. Dobila sem idejo, da bi si iz njih naredila prstane.

It all started when I was at my boyfriends grandmother, looking for three ordinary buttons, to sew them on my bedding - from which they magically disappeared :o In a small box, next to ordinary button, there were hiding real beauties. I got an idea to make rings out of them.

Potem ko sem s kleščami odstranila nastavek na zadnji strani gumba, sem le tega s sekundnim lepilom nalepila na nastavek za prstan. 

After I removed the shank from the back side of the button with clippers, I glued the button on a base ring.

In že so tu novi prstani!

And there they are, new rings!

Ena velika sova / One big owl

Sova, ki vlada vsem ... ;)
 
One owl to rule them all ... ;)

Prijateljica se je po skoraj dveh letih življenja v Kanadi z družino vrnila nazaj domov. Tako, da sem imela priložnost prvič (v živo) spoznati njeno hčerkico. Seveda pa nisem smela na obisk praznih rok, zato sem ji skvačkala veliko sovo.

A friend of mine, returned with her family back home form Canada, after living there for almost two years. So I had the opportunity o meet her daughter (in person) for the first time. Of course, I couldn't go for a visit empty-handed, so I  crochet her a owl.

Uporabila sem:

- kvačko velikosti 5 mm.

- 50 g volno oranžne in roza barve

- filc črne barve za oči in rdeče za kljun.

- sintetično polnilo.

I used:

- 5 mm crochet hook.

- 50 g yarn in pink and orange color.

- Black felt for eyes and red one for beak.
- Synthetic stuffing.

Male sovice / Little owls

Že nekaj časa so sove strašno popularne, na verižicah, šolskih zvezkih pa tudi pri kvačkanju. Za zvezke sem malo prestara (samo za leto ali dve ;) in ker verižice s sovami že imam, sem si morala nabaviti le kakšno kvačkano sovico.

For a while now owls are tremendously popular, on necklaces, notebooks and also in crochet. For school notebooks I'm a bit to old (only for a year or two ;) and I already have necklaces with owls, I only had to get me a crochet owl.

No, nabavila naredila sem več kot eno sovico :) Načrt zanje sem našla na Ana Paula's Amigurumi Patterns & Random Cuteness, moje pa končane merijo v višino 9,5 cm. Prevelike so za obesek za ključe, ravno pravšnje pa za v avto, z vrvico privezane na vzvratno ogledalo (namesto kakšnega CD-ja ali kosmatih kock ;)

Well, I got made more than one owl :) Pattern for them I found on Ana Paula's Amigurumi Patterns & Random Cuteness, mine finished measure in height 9,5 cm. They are a bit to big to go on a keychain, but just right to go in a car, with string attached to a rear mirror (instead of some CD or those furry dices ;)

Uporabila sem:
- kvačko velikosti 4,5.
- 50 g volno Gruendl Four Seasons, Lisa uni različnih barv.
- 10 mm črne oči.
- sintetično polnilo.

I used:
- 4,5 mm crochet hook.
- 50 g  yarn Gruendl Four Seasons, Lisa uni in different colors.
- 10 mm black safety eyes.
- Synthetic stuffing..

Hmmm ...

Mislim, da je skrajni čas za novo amigurumi objavo :)

I think it's about time for a new amigurumi post :)
