Cowja Pics & Progress on a Hooded Baby Blanket

And here he (or she) is sans arms! I'm still working on those. I quite like how the little mooninja turned out. Very cute. He is missing arms because.... I started work on a baby blanket for my son. This blanket is so FAST! It's fantastic. The hardest part, so far, is the beginning row, just because beginning rows are always a bit of a pain. So here is the progress as of last night.

Love love LOVE it!! The pattern is from LionBrand and comes with the Pound of Love yarn. You can also find it with a registration for free over at LionBrand.com.

Secret Ninja Reborn: Cowja?

I have a very good friend who saw the secret ninja and decided she needed a little sneaky amigurumi. This very morning she caught the hubby online and informed him that it would be cool if I made her one. Little did she know I was in the process of crafting her a ninja of her very own. Her very favorite thing is cows. Cows of the Holstein variety to be exact. I thought, what fun would it be to make a ninja dressed in a cow suit. He (or she, I'll let my friend decide) is currently in progress, awaiting his stuffing and final touches. Time to hit the Wal-Mart and pick myself up a bag of poly fill.

Until then it's back to the grind on my daughter's Butterfly blankie. I swear I'll finish it... I'm giving myself a goal of this weekend. I only have three rounds on the current circle I'm doing now, then another circle, the antennae and putting that bad boy together. I'm so excited for it to be done... I'm having a love/hate relationship with that ting right now. For some reason the body threw me into total burnout, but leaving it unfinished is even worse.

Ahhhh, back to hooking!

Secret Ninja

Secret Ninja broke his arm doing ninja rolls, but he is still primed and ready to sneak attack!

A few years ago, my (not so) little sister broke her collarbone doing a ninja roll through a hula hoop. She's going to be 21 this May and because she's not a drinker, I wanted to give her something awesome for her birthday.

She has a thing for ninja. Luckily, she's not the only one. I found a fantabulous pattern and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! I used Red Heart Super Saver in black and nude. It made up pretty quickly, maybe three hours total time spent. It was great fun and I really can't think of any ways to improve upon it.

You should also check out the other free patterns on that site... they are pretty awesome, too. I've got a few more of those on my list!
