This Shit is Bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S

This banana keychain is making me hungry... and happy!
Find it at Ma Chat Noir

I always eat so much fruit in the winter time. I think I must not be getting my vitamins so I crave it. I was once told that bananas were the perfect food because they are so nutritious and come in their own wrappers. On my cereal, baked into banana bread, or just peeled and chomped on, bananas are pretty darn good. So why not crochet a banana? It seems like it should be pretty straightforward and there are so many beautiful colors of yellow yarn available!

Check out all the banana action after the jump!

Birdwatching

Tooooooo cute! Find this guy over at Yarrrn It

My grandmother's favorite bird was the cardinal. She was from Vermont and she loved seeing the cardinals on the snow-covered branches. I think of her often this time of year and seeing cardinals always brightens my spirit. It's great to see that vibrant color this time of year, too.

Foxes!

I have an addiction and the only cure is more crocheted foxes.
Find this guy at Liukenko (I'm also finding some inspiration for photos of  my amigurumi)

I can't help it, I just love foxes. Their faces are the epitome of cute. Their big ears and fluffy tails get me every time. Plus, the red/orange/yellow area of the color spectrum has always been my favorite. So here are some more foxes!

Hit the jump quick before they sneak away!

Dashing Through the Snow!

This little guy just defines "doe-eyed"
Find him over at Wool and Whims


I hope everyone is having a happy holiday season! As a promotion for one of the local grocery stores, a nearby farm brought their reindeer for kids to take photos with. Have you ever seen a Reindeer up close? They are beautiful animals! Red-nosed or not, this majestic beast is definitely crochet-worthy. Santa's caribou come in many different crochet shapes, sizes, and interpretations.

Hit the jump for all of the other reindeer!



I would keep my brains away from the one on the left if I were you...
