I started crocheting the starfish for my sea-world collection... orange yarn and pillow stuffing is all im gonna use... and probably some white felt fabric for the eyes...
no specific pattern again...i started with the "legs"...five in total...so i just crocheted five tubes. the idea is very simple....i chained 2 and then made a few single crochet stiches in the first chain, slip stiched and closed into a circle and then carried on doing sc around and around increasing randomly when i thought i should. in the end all 5 "legs" look almost the same although i did no counting at all !
i stuffed them with my pillow stuffing and i think they look like little carrots....the next step is the tricky one...i'm gonna crochet them together to form the body of my starfish...but it'll have to wait till tomorrow cause i run out of orange yarn....silly me! so drop by tomorrow - if you like- to see how it went...
It's not done yet and still looks perfect! I love yarn's colour!Can't wait until tomorrow to see it finished!!
ReplyDeletereally cool!!! to do sth like this without a pattern takes talent!!! can't wait to see it finished as well!!! :))
ReplyDeleteoh, how fantastic! I can't wait until I get to the point where I could possibly making animals without a pattern!
ReplyDeleteYour collection of sea animals is turning out so cute. Hope you got the starfish sorted out. :) Best wishes, Tammy
