Triforce mani

I can't believe I hadn't thought of this before now, I've be trying to think of an easy(ish) geometric style mani all week. Once the idea of a triforce mani came to me there was no stopping me. Who doesn't want their nails to scream 'Attention! I am a massive dork!'?
I had considered doing a nude base to speed things up but I'm glad I changed my mind - the blue looks amazing as the base colour.

Let's be honest - loads of these have been made before. They are all over the internet. Still, I wanted one of my own! This was an on/off project that I started a few months ago and finished last week.
288 squares in total, made from cheap acrylic yarn, approximately 75cms wide - perfect for keeping my feet warm on the couch!

Amigurumi!

After my massive cross stitch binge, it was time to try my hand at something new and challenging. Amigurumi it was! Warning - if you've never crocheted before, starting with amigurumi is a crazy idea.

Thanks to some Youtube tutorials, Nerdigurumi, Wolfdreamer, and a lot of persistence I was able to miraculously assemble the characters below. I think Kirby turned out the best/neatest, but I have a soft spot for Chain Chomp - it was easily way above my capabilities when i started but I just kept on plugging away and finally made him at least recognisable.

Kirby still doesn't have a face :(
