French fries, fish fries, oh my! (Beanies and mice too) \(^▽^*)(*^▽^)/

Over the past two weeks I've spent my time having a lot of fun! (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜
I've fried french fries. (first at a lower temperature and then at a higher one to ensure crispness)

 

My white molly gave birth to 28 fry! (Hehe (^◇^) fries)


All the while I've been knitting! I've gotten done two beanies and crocheted my first mouse!
These beanies are approximately 11 inches long and are 1x1 ribbed with alternating rows of regular knit stitches and knit stitches in the back leg.


For the mouse I just read regular instructions for some amigurumi animals and just ran with it! I stuffed it with cotton stuffing. Should I put some eyes on the mouse? It's so cute with or without it. o(>< )o o( ><)o

Knitted a Scarf with Chopsticks and Crocheted Roses~~ (。◕‿‿◕。)

I bought this super chucky yarn a couple of weeks ago! However, my largest pair of needles were size 8/9 so I had to use chopsticks to get the right effect. 

The yarn changes colors~~ It such a nice scarf I do believe~

I used this thinner yarn to crochet some flowers! I made one green one and two red ones~
I used this great tutorial to help me although I didn't really understand how to roll it up.
