October ami-along post
Welcome, my dear fellow artists, to the wonders of autumn! As October rolls in with its chills and rain, we kiss goodbye to the warmth of the summer sun and turn to the beauties of the autumnFLORA.
Let's see some inspirational art to get ourselves into the mood of crafting.
Just look at this cute tree! XD
Pumpkins!
(Supposedly they started off as flowers... it's worth a try.)
Okay, on to the patterns.
Here are some cutie garden sprites: (for $$ again) http://amigurumiparadise.blogspot.com/2008/10/garden-sprite-pattern.html
I have no clue what inspired these cutesies, but I'm just smitten with them (yet again no freebie) http://twinsknit.blogspot.com/2008/03/growing-plants-knitted-amigurumi.html
And these cactus kokeshi dolls are simply adorable, too: ($$ again) http://www.etsy.com/listing/79752187/cactus-kokeshi-amigurumi-crochet-pattern?ref=sc_2
Another no-cluer is this trio of stunningly cute flower bear trio, which I just had to share: (for cash, again)

An awful lot of games feature very cute plants that translate so well into amigurumi. Just check out these:
a Piranha Plant from Super Mario (pattern for $$)
or the completre garden from Plants versus Zombies.
Okay, okay, now let's move on to some free but awesome patterns before you spend too much:
flower pot: http://mygurumi.blogspot.com/2008/07/flower-pot-downloadable.html
tiny apple tree by Lionbrand, which can be grown from a tiny sapling, which might grow up into a magnificent conifer, too - you never know.
Or into a palm tree: http://cristylecreations.blogspot.com/2011/05/palm-tree-ami-free-pattern.html
some cool cacti: http://elfluvsdwarf.blogspot.com/2010/07/crochet-cactus-garden-free-pattern.html
some knit weeds/dandelions - just check them out, they're precious!
crocet flower appliques can be found here
and some more with butterflies from the same site
plus some more, just for good measure.
Flowers for those who are comfy with filet crochet are here, plus there are sunflowers, snowdrops and a twisting-turning one, just because it's cool.
Ah, and the obligatory pumpkins before Halloween are, of course, obligatory.
Oh, and here's a pea shooter for those who love the game.
If that's just too much greenery for you, just switch to our alternate theme,MONSTERS. So much more reassuring for those of the carnivorous diet, isn't it? :D Okay, here's some inspiration - show me your teeth, okay?
First to go is everyone's favourite monster, the Cthullu:
pattern here
Then we have some tentacled goodies here - and they're knit, too!
And would you look at the monstrous cuteness here? (no pattern, sorry)
Who's afraid of these sweeties? (they're all very cute but you only get an inspirational pic, look'em up instead!)

Some more greenery:

And here's Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba!
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=226771.msg2456501#msg2456501
and another:
And a Raving Rabbid crochet pattern, if you haven't seen it already.
Oh yeah, and an obligatory Elmo pattern - thanks, theknittycat!
So if you feel inspired by this post or anything else in your life to craft something floral or monstrous, please show us, too. We'd all like to be awed.
