Seriously, how cute is this little fidget caterpil

Seriously, how cute is this little fidget caterpillar?!? She's bringing all the Valentine inspiration!

🐛 I loved working up the Camille the Mini Caterpillar by @allfromjade! It was such a fun and easy pattern to make, and honestly one of the best produced written patterns I have seen!

🧶 I worked up this little cutie in Ella Rae Cuddle yarn from @yarncraftsandcoffee. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite yarns!

Find my pattern review for this great Valentine's crochet pattern over on the @eyeloveknots blog!

At one of the first markets that I had these cute little chicks, one of my customers called them "chicken nuggets" 🤣 and I don't think I will ever not call them that in my head now!

But seriously, these cute little Mini Mabels in their nest are consistently one of my best sellers!

What color is your favorite?

You can read all about the Mabel chickens on my blog.

Llama - but make it Christmas!

I get so many requests at craft shows for specific animals I haven't made before. I always say, "I don't have one here, but I can make it for you!" And then I give them my card.

Unfortunately I rarely have people follow up with custom requests, but this little llama is proof that it does sometimes happen!

I'm so excited for this little cutie to go to its new home. I made sure to use Christmas colors for its little shawl too :)

How often do you have people follow up with custom requests from shows? What has been your most interesting request so far?? Let me know in the comments!
