Halloween special n°1 : Ghosty, the classy little ghost [amigurumi]

5 weeks to go before the best day of the year : Halloween ! I don’t have kids and when I was a little girl, that day wasn’t yet celebrated in French speaking countries. So now, I have to make up for lost to time !! A celebration full of ghosts, witches, zombies, skeletons,…I couldn’t love it more ! So, please, be prepared to see a lot of spiders and pumpkins around here these days ! :p 

What about starting with this little cutie ghost pattern?

Crochet Hearthstone : when my past catches up with me

Hearthstone pattern by ahookaYou know me enough now to know I’m a bit of a geeky girl. But, even if I’m still very attached to geek culture, my real gaming time was some years ago, when I was playing World of Warcraft all days long.

From the day I created my first character, I have secretly dreamt about having this little white and blue stone that was sitting in my inventory at the time : the Hearthstone ! 

But seriously, who wouldn’t dream to have it in one’s bag? A simple stone to use each time you want to go home right away !

Thanks to crochet, I do have one now ! (and yes it DOES work, what did you think??) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
