Decided to try another seahorse but using 4 ply wool instead of cotton. It was much nicer to work and being multicoloured gives it a lovely blend of colour with beads for the eyes. It's currently en route to Australia.
I'm missing my allotment so much I suppose it was only a matter of time before I crocheted some vegetables! I made these to practice crocheting amigurumi which I need to perfect before I start making Claude the octopus. I also need to practice getting the amount of stuffing right. Stalks and leaves were fiddely but they turned out ok. Only other colour of wool I have is bright pink so who knows what will be next!
