I am soooo excited to share todays blog, can you remember a few days ago, I said that I wanted to make Party Percy from Lets Get Crafting Issue 50? My only problem was that he was knitted and I cant knit, so I set myself the task of designing him in crochet, I wanted to get him as close to the original as possible so I used the same colour sequence that was in the original. It took a few days but I finally got there, and I am pretty pleased with my work. Here is a refresher of what the little knitted dude looks like.
The only part that gave me real problems was the trunk, a pink crocheted tube tends to look like a penis, so I spent a lot of time reworking that and cursing but I managed to get something I am happy with. So here he is, my crochet version of Party Percy.
The Original Party Percy was desgned by Amanda Berry, I have contaced her through Ravelry and she is ok about me sharing my pattern, so once I get the go ahead from the magazine I will post the pattern here if people seem interested in it, let me know in the comments or through Ravelry. More pictures and info on Amanda can be found on my Ravelry projects page here, it is open to public so no need to join (but you should cos its an awesome place)
What has been on your hooks over this glorious weekend?
