Hi there lovely crafters! I’m writing this from my garden office. The weather is so very lovely finally, how can I sit inside while it is nice and warm outside?
Yes, I am finally working on my new otter pattern. After all the updates, I was really looking forward to a new project but forgot my hard working boyfriend had a week off. Of course I wanted to do fun things together and go out into nature. The otter had to wait a bit. Despite all our outdoor activities, I did finish a lovely head and am now working on the rest of the otter and the pattern.
Most of you know I already made an otter pattern once, but I decided to make a completely new version, a much more mischievious looking one. This otter will have a younger and more whimsical appearance. Basil is a lovey otter, but he misses a bit of the characteristic funny otter looks.
There are two other patterns I almost can’t wait to start on. I already bought yarn for a giraffe pattern and after that I want to make an alpaca pattern, yes! I saw alpacas in a field and they are such silly looking creatures, I love them and all their fuzziness. I think I’m going to use an alpaca yarn to make one, how exciting!
See you soon with new and fun patterns!

I’m really looking forward to all these Sonja – especially the alpaca! Definitely one of my favourite animals. Those eyes… those crazy hairstyles! 😂 Enjoy your lovely garden xx
How lovely you like them! They never had my attention because I never really saw them close by, but bow I did and they look hilarious, and CUTE 🙈
Oh, the otter looks adorable. And, like Chris, I can’t wait to see what you come up with for an alpaca. I love their faces, too. So much personality! Wasn’t “Tina” in the movie Napoleon Dynamite an alpaca?
Hi Rhonda, You like them too! And Tina from that movie….I wouldn’t know, don’t know the movie.
