Hi Tweakers,


Well I have to say I am disappointed Rafa didn't win yesterday, but congratulations to Novak well deserved for awesome play!!  I was frantically finishing a dinosaur for my young second cousin Alex - meet the Rafasaurus!!

Crocheted in DK yarn on a 4mm and 3mm hook.  This design is loosely based on Marleen Hartog's, Dudley Dinosaur. http://marleen.notlong.com.

Turned on his side to maintain an even colour, of course he has on suntan lotion and his shades!!  


I love to make Amigurumi creatures they are ideal when you just want to play with yarn or need more or less instant gratification!!


As well as Rafasaurus I have started to make Annette Petavy's Summer Cardi, from Issue 8 of 
Inside Crochet.  This makes up really quickly I am not very patient at the moment, seem to want things made yesterday!! 


Just finished the back

.....and a closer look!

This is made with Patons Smoothie DK 100% acrylic and is lovely to work with, its smooth and silky .  It does split easily so care needs to be taken when working with it. Shade is Lime believe it or not!


Now I have to make a decision, do I design indoors or out in the sun - no contest really!!!


Keep tweaking peeps,
love Catherine x
