Amigurumi Water Sprite/Rain Drop Crochet Pattern

It's been forever, but that's probably b/c I moved and now have no internet. Hooray for free Wifi and donated laptops! My Etsy shop (La Blue Gyrl Art, etc.) is on Facebook (What isn't?) facebook.com/labluegyrl Pill-chan also has her own FB page @ facebook.com/pillchan and of course you can follow me on Twitter.com @dopefaerie.

So blah blah blah, life is life and arts and crafts are good... so here's a Free Crochet Pattern! Enjoy!





Water Sprite





Amigurumi Water Sprite / Rain Drop Crochet Pattern

Used: "F" Hook (3.50mm)
Sport/Light/Baby Weight Yarn in Baby Blue
Polyfill/Stuffing
Polybeans
6mm Solid Black Eyes (2)









Form a "magic ring"

1 - sc x6, tighten ring gently (06)
2 - 2 sc in each sc (12)
3 - (sc, inc) around, mark the last stitch with a bit
of yarn, sl sts are not used. (18)
4 - (2 sc, inc) around (24)
5 - (3 sc, inc) around (30)
6-8 - sc around (30)
9 - (3 sc, dcr) around (24)
10 - sc around (24)
11 - (2 sc, dcr) around (18)
12 - sc around (18)
13 - (1 sc, dcr) around (12)

At this point, add the eyes wherever you decide the face is, between rows 7 & 8 and about 4 stitches apart (or wherever you may please!). Take a bit of stuffing and flatten it with your fingers; place this stuffing at the bottom of your Sprite. Pour in a small layer of the polybeans, for weight. Add more stuffing to desired squishiness or not squishiness.

14 - sc around (12)
15 - (1 sc, dcr) around (08)
16 - sc around, add more stuffing (08)
17 - dcr around (04)

Finish off with a sl st (if possible), close off. Tuck in loose ends/marker yarns, using your hook. If desired, use the butt of the hook to also add more stuffing. Shape if needed with your fingers, curving the tip of the Sprite (as shown) if desired. Enjoy!

Update: Apparently No One Gives a Shit About Bigfoot.

And now, an update. Brought to you by Realizing You Haven't Updated in a While and Boredom.

Right now (and until November 13th) one of my pieces is being featured at Bear and Bird Boutique + Gallery. As I'm in the process of making a series of lolitas, I dragged my piece for their halloween show (Candy Apples and Razor Blades) into the fun by making Hallowlita:

And I've decided to make my wifey a few gifts:


The Mrs. is a Docktart
Some Puzzle Pirate inspired fun ^.^

Docktart Sweets
Ami treats

Wifey's Scarf
The ever-lovely One Skein Scarf from Stitch n' Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker



I also made some baby gifts for a friend's neice (see flickr of course :D), updated my stationery collection with way too many photos and snickered while taking more awful things from P3 out of context.

For now I leave you with the glory of the best pen on Earth: Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust:

Stitch Wars

Alive! I'm still crafting and writing and painting and drawing, trying to keep as busy as I possibly can!
Tonight was opening night for Stitch Wars, an exhibit composed of Star Wars inspired crafts at the Bear and Bird Boutique + Gallery in Lauderhill, FL @ Tate's Comics (Visit www.bearandbird.com for details!). The exhibits were fabulous and well worth the visit if you live in South Florida, if not pictures can be seen online @ Bear & Bird's Flickr photostream. Some of my favorite artists were featured such as Yummy Pancake and Moonbun creator Marcy Bridges along with many, many more talented and cleaver artists!! It's unreal to think I was a part of that line-up. Also, almost as if the folks at Tate's read my mind, when I got there McChris's Fett's Vett was playing and I was loving every moment of it as a Storm Trooper and Jango Fett were checking out the display case that housed some adorable amis, the baby Jabba & my own pieces.

Here are my submissions:

They'll be on display from July 18th through August 29th alongside awesome things :P

I'll be back once I'm done with my fan art.

Krystal's Pill-chan

Krystal found a skein of Red Heart Super Saver in a bright, multi-colored dye called PiƱata (imagine the tilde there please... or show me how to type the 17th letter of the Spanish alphabet with my keyboard!!) and felt it was perfect for a Pill-chan all her very own. The pattern suits her personality perfectly: bright, cheery and cute. And so, I traded her a professional massage for this Pill-chan and damn was it good:

The Joker & Mr. J

Last December I kinda promised some Joker & Harley Quinn dolls to my buddy Zakk (whom I lovingly refer to as Mr. J, and I'm his Harley). I wasn't sure if I'd make rag dolls or amis but I started buying the materials and never made them because life happens. More life is happening and circumstances lead him to have to schedule a trip and so, my promise turned into a 3 hour rush job on Friday night! Harley is sure to follow... eventually.
