Here are some of my creations!
You can find more of them on my Cara and Instagram profiles.
Made in November 2023.
Lettuce was born as a rework of not one, but two of my previous patterns, those for the frogs Fred and Bob.
I really liked the yarn I used to make her because it strongly reminded me of lettuce, hence her name! I remember that after finishing her, I briefly held her in my arms, looked at her smiley face, and then instantly texted my friends something along the lines of "I already love her so much she is so cute".
Since then, she has truly become a staple of the claraisknitting crocheting yarniverse, and I believe this photo of her looking out the window with a yellow tree in the background to be one of the best pictures I've ever taken.
A while later, I also made her a little purple sweater, so she wouldn't get cold during the winter months.
Made in Spring 2023.
I consider Cookie to be my first masterpiece; it's a patchwork backpack shaped like a cat, made with leftover yarn and a ton of patience. It took me almost three months to put it together, from crocheting each piece to lining the inside and making each pocket; I feel like I learned a lot from this creation, and I couldn't be happier with the result!
Cookie has everything I need from a backpack: many internal pockets, including a special one to hold a book, external nets to hold water bottles and little umbrellas, key holders on the inside, and, most importantly, the cuteness and softness of a plushie!
Cookie came with me to Ireland when I went there on vacation; I think it was an enjoyable experience for the both of us, as many nice people complimented it along with the other makes I was wearing.
Made in February 2022.
Farah is a little fox made with beautiful variegated red yarn that I found at my local shop.
She was one of the very first mid-sized plushies I designed, and I was almost surprised at how well she turned out!
I remember my partner really liked her, especially because she was particularly squishy and soft. My mom loves her as well, so much so that she asked me to make her one a while ago; she even knitted her a little scarf!
