I have a number of projects in the works right now. For example, I recently purchased the new doll e-book from Fresh Stitches, and I’m attempting to make a doll using the different options she has in the book. I’m also knitting a scarf from handspun yarn. Oh, and there is the baby sweater I haven’t touched in awhile…and spinning.. and, I have a few jewelry projects in the pro-type stages right now. But I really missed the just about immediate gratification I get with easy amigurumi projects, so I flipped through my pattern book, and found Mr. Toothy. I have made him before, and sent him off for an out of state donation drive. This guy is the first for my local donation box. The pattern comes with the “Design a Monster” Craftsy.com class, and it is a very fast project. I had some mystery yarn that was donated for the cause, and it was kind of thin, so I held it double and used an H hook.

It is nice to use my brain for some of my more complicated projects, but they take longer to finish. This ends up making me feel like I’m not making any progress sometimes, so I just need a “fix” like this now and then.
