This here snake should be longer but I refused to subject my fingers to
65 rows of only 6 stitchs each. I think he turned
out cuter without those extra rounds.
Now I know he's not quite the colour of a real poison dart frog
but I don't really have a large selection here. As well
I like that he is only one colour it makes him blend with his watery
surroundings in nature. Or maybe just my blue Munny.

Now this isn't the only thing I have been up to in the amigurumi world. When I first got into these cute crocheted creations I only had books and I was seeing all these great guys on google search so I went on a quest to find more free patterns. Which by the way if you look you will find tons. I found some for Mario, Luigi, the power star, a mario mushroom, and egg, Bats, octupi, You name it you can probably find it for free. Now the hard part about pattern hunting is the free ones are not always good but if you search hard enough you'll find those real gems that people have so graciously posted for free. However on my search I also came across some pretty awesome looking dudes that either didn't have a pattern or you had to buy the pattern at some ridiculous price, when I came across these little guys I would save the picture for future reference so that maybe when I got good at the crocheting and it came as second nature I could make a creation similar to the images I found, sort of us them like inspiration. These images are similar to keepers that photographers use.
Now I'll go into a little segway. Keepers in the land of photography are images that you save for future reference or for inspiration. They may pertain to the photoshoot you are going to do a week from now or an idea you eventually want to do. These "Keepers" could be anything from magazine articles, ads, other photographs, etc.
Anyway so I call these images of other crocheted goodies my keepers, to serve as inspiration that maybe one day I will be as good as that (a lot of those ones are the ones that are very intricate guys that are maybe an inch high), and also because I think to my self on some of them hey I could do that. Well there was this one really cool guy I found one day on my search who could wink it's eyelids, make it's nose it's tongue and had beads for arms. Well I thought these guys were totally amazing. However I haven't been able to find the person since that day but I am trying to make a guy similar to them. His head is a little smaller, and I can't put his arms on till I find beads that will work but I think I'm doing a pretty good job. When he's finished (hopefully by next week) I'll post an image of the new member to my crocheted world.
I have also made patterns one for a bat, that I haven't tried yet and also a snowman that I saw an image of and thought would be really cute for my mom.
Well I better get back who knows what might pop into my head next.
I'll leave you with another image of summer.
