~Maneki neko pattern now FREE~
Hello everyone!
I wrote a pattern to make some adorable maneki neko (lucky cats) a few months back. Because I needed some funding for my graduation trip, I charged a small fee for the pattern. But since I have now been to Japan and back and there were no sales for the pattern in these past months, I think it will be a nice gift to everyone if I now publish this pattern! :)
So here it is-you can download the pattern from my craftsy account for free now!
I hope everyone enjoys my pattern and have lots of fun crocheting!

What sized hook did you use for the pig pattern? (The smaller one)
Hi there!
For the smaller pink pig I used a 5mm crochet hook and regular yarn whereas for the big white one, I used a 8mm crochet hook and chunky yarn
Hope that helps!

~Graduation trip: Japan!~
Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven’t posted much in the last few weeks (been super busy spending time with all my friends before graduation!)
And now I won’t be posting anything for the next 2 week as I’m going on my graduation trip to Japan for 2 weeks!!! (I’m super excited as Japan has been my dream destination ever since I was small!)
I am super excited to visit the land where amigurumi came from as well as visiting all the shrines and temples and trying all the food!
I’m also super nervous as well as it would be the first time I am so far away from home for so long but I’m sure everything would be fine! :)
Anyway I’m off, everyone have a lovely two weeks! Hope its summer wherever you guys are!!

I'm looking for a crochet pattern for a chineese crested and cocker spaniel. do they exist.
Hi there!
Sorry I took so long to reply!
And unfortunately I don’t have very good news- I don’t know. I did a quick search on the internet but the only thing that came up were some cocker spaniel patterns on etsy that you have to pay for..
Sorry I can’t help. Does anyone seeing this post shed some light on this question?

Hi everyone! And a big welcome to all my new followers!!
Sorry I have been so quiet recently, I have started my last placement as a student (yes sadly we still get placements even though we have passed all our exams..) and its keeping me busy!
I have been crocheting lately (albeit a bit slow) and I do have some amigurumi to show you guys, the thing is whether I have time to take photos and write a post on it!
But please stay tuned!
I hope everyone is having a lovely spring! :)

what size hook and yarn do you use in your creations.
Hi!
For most of my creations I use either a 4 or 5mm crochet hook and for my yarn, I normally use worsted weight yarn

~Lucky bamboo plant~
Hi everyone! I’m off home for the weekend-what is everyone else doing?
Today I will be posting about this lucky bamboo plant I made for one of my lecturers who is leaving to go somewhere else as a farewell and thank you gift.
Anyway I wanted to make him something that wished him good luck for the future and so I thought of the Chinese lucky bamboo plant! In Chinese culture, 3 stalks represents wealth, longevity and happiness so I thought this was the perfect gift to give to him! :)
I looked at the internet for inspiration and I saw June Gilbank’s lucky bamboo plant pattern which I really liked. Sadly you had to pay for the pattern and because I am still a poor student, I didn’t have the money to buy the pattern ><’
So I sort of eyeballed the photo and created my own bamboo plant which you can see in the photos above. Its not as good as June’s but oh well! My lecturer really liked it and he said he would bring it to where he is going! ^^
So just a little thanks for his help over the year!
