My Links

Hi, I'm Tiff aka swallow.  I'm a free-style crocheter who loves to make dolls of people and characters.  I also enjoy creating little creatures from my imagination as well as animals, mostly bunnies because I adore them.  Here are some links for my work:

   for the glaze like pink, white, etc. (preferably 'Red Heart')

Body of donut (beige/dark brown)

Rnd 1: Chain 19

Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc in the next st) repeat 9 times [28]

Rnd 4: 28 sc in all 28 st [28]

Rnd 5: (1 sc, inc in the next st) repeat 14 times [42]

Sugar Glaze (pink/white/color of choice)
Rnd 1: Chain 19
Rnd 2: 19 sc in all 19 st [19]
Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc in the next st) repeat 9 times [28]
(Optional) depending if you want more or less glaze: 28 sc in all 28 st [28]
Rnd 4: Chain 2, sl st in first chain, skip a stitch and sl st onto glaze
              Chain 3, sl st in first chain, skip 2 stitches and sl st onto glaze
              (repeat these two steps randomly as you go around to create an
               uneven glaze edge)
Fasten off and leave a long tail to stitch both ends to the donunt.

- Match the donut body to the glaze (as seen on the above picture) and stitch

   them together.  Slip the tail under but don't cut.  You need it to stitch the

   side with the uneven ends to the donut later.

- Stitch both ends of the donut body together.

- Stuff with poly-fil as you go around and fasten off.  Hide yarn in the body of the

   donut.

- Now, you could finish stitching the uneven side to the outer ring of the donut.  

   Feel free to add colorful sprinkles with yarn if you like. 

Have fun making your donuts.  Be creative.  If you want to share pictures with me, 

I would love to see them.  ^__^  Happy crocheting!

Pig Bunny

(Click on pic to see it bigger.)

If you've watch "You're Beautiful", "Ikemen desu ne" or "Fabulous Boys"...this little pig rabbit would look a bit familiar to you.  ^__^  Yes, I wanted that pig rabbit so I made one.  I added a few personal touches like the blush and the eyelashes.  Hehehe...
