Amigurumi Dragon for my Granddaughter

This is from my Pica Pau book by Yan Shenkel. My DIL picked it out. I love how (s)he stands on her own.

Great "pet" for your granddaughter. I have a friend who makes animals for her young relatives. Beautiful and well done.

Thank you. Their house burned due to a downed electric wire yesterday and all her clothes and toys burned. Everyone is safe and the house is insured, thank the Lord! So this dragon will get to her at just the right time.

So sorry to hear about the fire.

The dragon is adorable.

really cute

I am so glad to hear everyone is safe. Belonging can be replaced. New memories can be made. This little dragon will be the first of many of those new memories. I am sure your GD will love it.

That's adorable! Omg, how awful about the house.

SBG, I'm toying with the idea of learning how to crochet because I want to make some spindle thingys for my FW's. I watched a couple of Youtube videos and may just do it. I have all my Mom's supplies. I knit but have never crocheted.

Good luck to your family. So glad nobody was hurt.

Very cute!

So cute! So sorry about the house :( but in what I call the "best possible bad news" everyone is safe.

I've been around two houses that exploded. ( natural gas) House fires do so much damage. But hey one day I got to drive the tanker truck to the fire. Not bad for a guy who isn't even a volunteer fire fighter.

She'll love the new critter

Thanks everyone.
Susie, I think you should try crochet. It's easier than knitting and can be quite addictive. Just follow along with a youtube video.

I've made about 15 baby afghans since the lockdown, just picking it up in the evenings while hubby watches TV.

She's a lucky little girl to get such a special gift and glad her and the rest of the family are safe. Best wishes to them on getting a new home!

Such a cute dragon, Sewbiz! I'm so sorry about their house fire! That's tragic, but I'm so relieved everyone is safe and unhurt!

How precious.

The dragon is really cute! She will love it.....really glad everyone is safe.

so sorry to hear about the house fire but the most important thing is that everyone is safe. Cute dragon and you do such wonderful work.

Thank you so much for the well wishes for my family. The dragon made it to their post office, and I had to order it to be held and not delivered. (Did you know they charged you $15 for that?!) Their house, where I sent it to, was boarded up and I had no idea what would happen to it. So I'm hoping my DIL will go pick it up at the post office tomorrow. There are some other knitted and crocheted "friends" I had made for GD which I can recreate. Just not quickly! I'm working on a baby sea turtle now and will start on a new otter afterwards.
