Over the last few years I've knit several different blue kangaroos for a variety of customers, but haven't had one listed in my shop as a regular item. Most customers learned about my blue kangaroos from my
Gallery of past work. The last knit kangaroo I created was headed all the way to Australia! I developed my own knitting pattern for these kangaroos and have adapted it several times over as I found new ways to improve the design. I just listed this cute kangaroo in
CreativeCritters today. I'm not sure how long she'll last- they seem to sell pretty quickly!
I used soft and silky Homespun yarn in Montana Sky Blue for the body and Waterfall for the belly. I really love Homespun yarn because it's so soft and has such a nice texture when you knit with it. Anyone who does a lot of knitting or crocheting knows that it's a real pleasure to work with a good quality yarn, and of course it creates a very soft and cuddly stuffed animal.
For this particular kangaroo I completely revamped my old pattern and got pretty creative as I knit. This is one of the reasons most of the items in my shop are one of a kind creations- I always seem to end up changing how I make them, even if I start out following a pattern. I guess it's just the artist in me- LOL.
This particular kangaroo ended up with a lot of personality! Sometimes these things just sort of seem to happen on their own. I had a general idea of how I wanted her to look, but really didn't know how she would turn out until I had most of the parts sewn on. And as always, the true personality really came out once I added her eyes, nose, and ears.
I used gray fleece fabric for the nose, which is lightly stuffed and securely sewn on. I used the same fleece behind the eyes, which are black plastic safety eyes, making this safe for children. I stuffed the kangaroo softly with polyester fiberfill, with the goal of keeping her very soft and cuddly. Adults and children will both love giving this cute stuffed animal a big hug! I may be all grown up myself, but I still love to cuddle up with a soft stuffed animal. I think there are some things we just never grow out of!
If you're interested in purchasing this blue kangaroo just click on any of the pictures to be taken to the listing in
my shop. And if you're looking for something in a different size or color combination, just email me at
macreativecritters@gmail.com with your request. I can also create a variety of other stuffed animals. If fact, I'm currently working on a knit dragon right now (and this is definitely a challenging project!).
Thanks for sharing the creative cuteness once again!

Losing weight extremely quickly is unhealthy. This is mostly simply because rapid weight reduction is composed of equal parts water, fat, and muscle, and only one of those things do you really wish to lose. Being dehydrated is unhealthy, but can also make your skin appear dry and sallow, and losing muscle can make you appear like you've much more fat than you do. Even if it's fewer pounds overall, losing as a lot weight as feasible that's just fat is the very best method to go.
