This took almost one complete skein for the body, I have maybe 10 yards left. I really only crochet to make amigurumi so I had to go to my reference book a few times to look up the few stitches that weren’t single crochet. Other than my own lack of knowledge I thought the patter was really fun and easy to follow. The pictures that come with the pattern are great. The stuffing shows through a bit on the fact, but that may have been my fault for not making my decreases tight enough.

I made this for Ryan because he is taking me to see a T-Rex skeleton at the museum of science and industry. I was worried that he might balk at getting a stuffed toy as a gift as he has some pretty silly notions about what should be in a 29 year old man’s apartment (toys don’t seem to be on that list) but either he actually really liked it, or he faked it very well. He kept telling me that it was adorable, asked me to name it (hence the Lucy), and told me that it would remind him of me… Awww!
