When I decided to join the crochet community this year I had no idea how many fun CALs are going all the time! Knitters have some but most are secret patterns that are revealed as you knit - I don't trust that I will like it so I don't bother. Your Olympian looks fantastic 🧡 Thank you for the story behind it. 🧡
Oh Pamela, you took me down memory lane with your Mary Peters doll. She is a lovely lady as you say, always smiling. The pencil toppers look great altogether in a jar. Thanks for sharing 😊
Mary Peters looks great. Thanks for sharing all the information on her. I was brought up watching and enjoying sport. I have daily phone conversations with my elderly dad on the latest football news and the daily Olympic highs and lows. Lovely granny square, too.x
I enjoyed learning about Mary Peters; what a good idea for an Ami-Lympian. She's fantastic! I particularly like her pony tail. I also really like that pink rabbit pencil topper! 😊💕
We all love a CAL (or 2...or 3), don't we 😅 Enjoyed all the makes, and the history behind your Mary Peters doll was lovely. Such a sweet story about the colour tv.
I love the new intro! And Mary Peters looks brilliant. I wonder if you had thought about making her a gold medal… or I suppose she’s dressed in her running gear so she wouldn’t be wearing a medal then! She definitely deserves a place amongst the iconic women - quite an amazing lady!
Yes, as you say, if she'd been wearing a tracksuit, she'd definitely have a medal. I don't know if I want to display her in a tracksuit, though. I like her in her competition kit. I always liked our kit with the 2 stripes ... they've gone too fancy for me now! 🤣😊🧡
I enjoyed the story about the ami-limpian 🤣🤣❤❤ you made. Those pencil toppers look so cute all together❤ thanks for sharing that cal. I a,m enjoying it very much. the first 3 squares fit nicely. I skipped the fourth and did the 5th and 6th andd they came out a lot bigger than the first three. Maybe it is my tension🧶 happy stitching❤
Love your Olympian Mary Peters. I looked her up and it does look like she was always smiling. And we share the same birthday...just a different year. Haha. I will have to look into the granny square CAL as I do like making them. Have a good week!
Pamela!! 🥰❤ SO thrilled to have you as a part of the Ami-Lympics 🥇✨ Equally as thrilled to have the lovely Mary Peters as a part of the Ami-Lympic family 💝 What a stunner ✨ You’ve done such a beautiful job 💕 LOVE the thought and care that you put into the coloured details and her ponytail is just fabulous. Brilliant idea to use the Iconic Women book 💗 Thank you for sharing more of Mary’s story. I had heard of her, but learning more about her impact, especially after her Olympic career was fascinating. My goodness, a member of the Order of the Garter 😳 Wow. That’s a biggie! 😅 Also LOVE that she was a part of inadvertently giving your Mum a nudge towards getting that colour television 🥰! Absolutely brilliant choice, Pamela 🫶💕! Thank you so much for joining in and sharing Mary’s accomplishments ❤ Xx
What a clever idea for your Olympian! Being from the States, I had not heard of her and very much enjoyed your background story. I’m doing the CAL also - bravo on your first square!! 🫶🧶
@@GingerCatCrochet I think you are an amazing crocheter, I also think that if you’re not comfortable doing a mouth on her you are right not to do it. I was having the same concerns in a make but I did it anyway and messed it up and removing the mouth ruined it and I think her reputation speaks for her and she doesn’t need to say anything 😊 she sounds like an amazing person
Hi Pamela, I remember Mary Peters 😊 your take of her is perfect well done !! Guess what I not very good at mouths either 😁 your amigurumi are gorgeous ❤ you are a talented lady Pamela thank you for sharing take care 🥰 xx
You have been busy Pamela. I am sorry to say I don’t follow the Olympics and I had never heard of Mary Peters but you have done a great job depicting her. She certainly is an iconic woman. Your square for the CAL looks good. Have a great week. ❤

No, I wouldn't like the secrecy in a MAL, either. Although I enjoy watching knitting podcasts. 😊🧡

Hi Pamela, great olympic doll. I loved hearing the story about your mum and the colour tv. Your square looks great, I haven't made mine yet.
Thank you. Good luck with it. I thought it was straightforward enough and I'm sure you will, too. 😊🧡

I'm just going to make them fit if they are different sizes. I don't do blocking! Come August 2025, it'll work out! 🤣😊🧡
Love your Olympian Mary Peters. I looked her up and it does look like she was always smiling. And we share the same birthday...just a different year. Haha. I will have to look into the granny square CAL as I do like making them. Have a good week!
Thank you. She's such a smiley person. Yes, do check out the granny square book / cal. There are some lovely ones coming up. 🥰😊🧡
Mary Peters is lovely Pamela. What lovely memories, I remember our first colour TV rented from Redifusion. Take care, Hilary x
My uncle worked for Redifusion! 🥰😊🧡

Sweet memories. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
Thank you 😊 🧡
Love your Mary Peters figure and pleased to say I guessed who it was before you told us. Could you make her a gold metal with a button?
I could crochet one and use the lame for the chain but I'd only give her a medal if she was wearing a tracksuit! My Mary is dressed for competing! 🤣🧡
