at risk of becoming a groupie...

Ok, so this posting does make me an official reeneegurumi crochet critters groupie.  But I love her crochet designs!  She makes the cutest creatures.  What is more she writes the most amazing patterns.  Trust me, this is quite a thing for me to say.  I am not a fan of patterns.  I tend to view them more as guidelines than as absolutes.  Especially given the freedom crochet gives you. 

Irene's patterns are on the very verge of converting me.  The patterns have it all.  Written instructions, yes!  Photographs, yes!  Charts, yes!  Annotations, yes!

And at the end of it all you make yourself something very lovely indeed.  See crochet time at last for example.

So here is another of her patterns that I followed.  I'm so very proud to introduce to you Percy The Elephant

 
Go on give her patterns ago.  The only thing you need to remember is that crochet stitches are American.   So convert them first! 

Happy crocheting!
