sea lion + contest time!

January 13, 2008 @ 7:30 pm · Filed under Crochet

Here is the second design for my new pattern range (the dolphin is the first). The sea lion was more challenging to design because I wanted to crochet it in one piece, and build the curve of the neck and chest in. That’s quite a challenge using only single crochet, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. I think she looks very sweet:

Now, it’s contest time!

As you may have read from the dolphin post, this new range is all about water animals (but not fish) and the style is simple and sleek with just one colour per piece, to focus on the streamlined shape of these animals.

I’d like to know what you think, so please leave a comment on this post with one or more of these suggestions:

  • The name of this range (I’d like something short and distinctive, like my AmiDogs range)
  • Other animals you would like to see in this range

There will be two winners:

  • Whoever first comes up with the name I like best for the range
  • One other commenter (chosen randomly from all entrants; only one entry per person will be counted)

And the prizes? Each winner will receive a pattern of their choice from the PlanetJune range. Winners may either choose from one of the new range of patterns, or one of my existing Fuzzy Friends or AmiDogs patterns.

The contest will run for a week, so entries will be accepted until 7am EST on Monday January 21st 2007.

Good luck and thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    The sea lion is so cute. I thought of Ami Sea Mammals for the title of the series.

    My daughter has always been interested in sea mammals so I can’t wait for your series to become available so I can make the set for her.

  2. Maureen Hegedus Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 8:05 pm

    She is very cute. For the series I suggest Ami Of The Sea.

    How about Aquapals?

    what about a whale. ami mammals. how about a shark, hammer head to name a few.

    Hi there,

    I loved this sea lion!

    Oooh and here are names for the range:

    1. Under the C (as in under the sea but crochet!!)
    2. Sea Menagerie
    3. Bubbles

    And creatures that I’d love to see:

    Otter
    Walrus
    sea turtle

  6. Crystal Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 8:23 pm

    Wow you did an amazing job on the seal! The shaping is perfect. It would be cute in a fluffy white yarn as a baby harp seal…
    Are you sticking to mammals for this collection? If so I thought Ami Aqua Mammals…, or Sleek Marine Mammals…or fluid marine animals..Just some thoughts..If you dont want to restrict yourself to mammals you could use animal or wildlife.
    My daughter loves dolphins so I am going to have to get that pattern to do for her. Other ideas for the series would be whales (baluga, killer!, blue, narwhal), walrus, sea cow, turtles, penguins, starfish, seahorses, sharks, platapus…Ok now I have run out of ideas..
    Hope some of this helps.. I am excited to see what you come up with. Good Luck.

  7. Linda Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 8:42 pm

    How about AmiMammels. Also, whales and sharks are mammals. I’d love to see a whale!

  8. Linda Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 8:49 pm

    Sorry, thought of something else. I am all for conservation, what about using them for educational purposes to. Like when you get them made up, on the pattern maybe you could talk about the animal and where they place on the endangered species list. Along that line, maybe you could call them PlanetJune’s AmiConservation-Education line. =)

  9. Rachel Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 8:57 pm

    I vote for “Ami Sea Mammies”

    My four-year-old saw this on the screen and she’s begging me to make one…She LOVES sea lions and whales!

    Oh, and I vote for a humpbacked whale to be the third member of this trio.

  10. Julexia Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 8:59 pm

    Hello,
    Your Sea Lion is lovely! I was thinking a Sea Otter or a Blue Whale would fit right in with the ones you have so far.
    Names for the line I have come up with are:

    SeaBuddies

    OceanAmi

  11. kris Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 9:26 pm

    well i don’t have anything quick and easy for a “tagline” but am trying to think of somthing with “marine life” in it. but i also love someone elses suggestions of aquapals!

    and i have already told you - i think - a whale - would love an orca but i know that is not as streamlined as you are looking for - how about a starfish? seahorse? jellyfish? hmmmm - you already have your penguin - beluga whale? i guess thats all for now. will keep thinking and try and remeber to ask a sick kassie tomorrow.

    kris

  12. Christina Coghill Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 9:28 pm

    I would love to see an otter, a manatee, and a seal.

  13. Tina Leigh Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 10:00 pm

    Wow. You did a great job creating these two animals. What about a startfish, a whale, and maybe a crab….??

    I need to think about a name…..

  14. cat3crazy Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 10:01 pm

    I love them both. You did a great job designing them. I’m not very clever coming up with names but… how about Water Ami.

  15. Kiirs Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 10:16 pm

    Wow, the sea lion is awesome!!! The shape is just perfect! I love the way the flippers bend out so perfectly. My kids went wild yelling “I want that!” as soon as they saw it, which I was surprised about–they’ve never been enamored of sea lions or seals before. But of course, all your patterns are great!

    Everyone already has such good suggestions that I’m stuck for name ideas…how about something like…
    *Ami ocean pets
    *Ami ocean animals
    *Ami ocean friends
    *Sea friends
    *Ami ocean life
    *Ami swimmers
    *Friends from the sea
    *Wave Riders
    *Ocean Critters
    *Sea life

    For other characters, you already did a dolphin, our favorite ocean denizen. My kids and I also like orcas, sharks, whales, sea turtles, and sea horses.

    Great job!

  16. Sheryl Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 10:40 pm

    Awesome seal, so realistic.
    How about “Oceanami” for a name.
    It would be great to see a sea turtle, they are so different, with their big flippers.
    I always look forward to your patterns.

  17. E. Smith Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 10:53 pm

    Aminals, LOL!

    So cute!!!

  18. Melanee Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 11:07 pm

    Your sea lion and dolphin are incredible! I’m excited to see what else you come up with :]

    The AmiUnderwater Club is the first thing that came to my mind, or how about Beach Buddies… its got the same alliteration sound to your Fuzzy Friends range :]

    I would definitely lovvvve to see you try a manatee– I’ve been in love with them for years and they’ll definitely go with your one color/pattern mode! A white whale or a narwhal would be awesome to see, especially with a little crochetted narwhal horn! A sea otter on its back perhaps, and if you want a definite challenge, I think hammerhead sharks and seahorses [or even pufferfish! althought I'm not sure how you'd get the spikes down... hehe] will give you one lol. And although these aren’t the cuddliest things in the ocean, oysters and mollusks or any type of shells would be pretty too :]

  19. rsislandcrafts (Robin) Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 11:22 pm

    I love the manatee idea. I see a lot of names I like. Especially Ami-Mammals and Under the C or Sea.

    How about…

    Ami-sea life
    Ami-creatures
    Water Amis
    Ami-creatures of the sea
    Ami Sea creatures
    Friends from the ocean
    PlanetJune’s ocean friends/creatures/buddies/stuffie
    Swimming with the stuffies

    I’m sure you will find just the right one!

  20. Courteney Said,

    January 13, 2008 @ 11:25 pm

    What about a starfish? THat would easily be one color, not sure how easy it would be to do it in one piece though. A sea otter would be really cute in your fuzzy yarn as well. You could do an eel or a sting ray, both I think would be easy, not sure how cute either of them are though.
    As for names, what about AmiSurfers or June’s Sea Surfers, something like that:) Good luck!

  21. Samantha Stopple Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 12:01 am

    I can’t think of a new name other than what others have already mentioned. I love the sea lion. I’d like like to see a whale and a sea turtle.

  22. Kristi Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 12:14 am

    Since there are some really great suggestions, I’ll be silly and say “SeaMaGumi” for the collection name, and also add a vote for a whale to be included in the group! Just think, a tiny whale! (yay for an oxymoron!)

    The sea lion is adorable!

  23. Kari Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 12:18 am

    How about a polar bear or manatee? Both pretty sleek, I think! I like Ami of the Sea (although not my own idea! Dang!) I’d love to see you add sea otters and seals, they’re adorable!

    For the group name, the only new one I can add is - AmiSea Mates. Something about AmiMarine Mammals that has just a *bit too much* M; plus then you couldn’t use sharks, cuz they’re fish! LOL

    It’s great to see you so consistently productive, you’re so amazing and inspiring that way! I can’t wait to see what you come up with next! ;D

  24. Jenny Stark Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:24 am

    For names I suggest
    Sea-amis
    Oceanigurumis
    Mermies

    I’ve always loved sea-horses. I don’t know if they qualify as sleek but I would love to make one.

  25. Clare Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:26 am

    Your seal is fabulous, your use of shaping to create the outline is spot on.

    How about OceanAmi or SeaPals?

    Clare :)

  26. Talvi Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:36 am

    The sea lion is so cute!

    How ’bout Aqua Ami (or Aqua Amis)?

    I like everyone’s suggestions for animals. :) I’d like to see a killer whale (just because it says ‘killer’ doesn’t mean it can’t be cute!) and an otter and a walrus and and and… :)

  27. Debby Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 3:09 am

    There are so many cute and clever names already listed here, that I can’t think of any others, but I would love to see a manatee pattern. They are just so sweet and gentle.

    Debby

  28. Sally Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 7:26 am

    I love all of your patterns, your new sea lion is perfect!!!

    I would just love to see a manatee in your collection!!

    For a name for the collection, I like AmiSeaPals

  29. Jessica Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 7:54 am

    So many comments already!

    I thought AmiOcean would work quite well - it’s not restricted to just mammals and I love the fact that this would open up a huge number of possible ocean animals.

    I would love to see a little ray (they are such a lovely distinctive shape), a few whales (humpback, blue, etc), and to really challenge you how about a seahorse!

    Good luck with the contest - I can’t wait to see the finished range.

  30. dolores Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 8:26 am

    As mentioned before me, a seahorse would be awesome!!
    and a walrus!! and “sea -amis” if you made two they can be sea amis twins lol well not too clever i guess

  31. Martha Maloney Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 8:37 am

    Hello June,
    Love all of your lovely creations, I see most of the good names are taken, but for my 2 cents worth, I like the name Amis from the Deep Blue Sea, which could add up to a very large group!
    Thanks and looking forward to more creatures,
    Martha

  32. Brooke Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 9:13 am

    I am really digging the sea life that you are creating. So many people have given you good ideas for names and suggestions for critters. I would like to see maybe a whale. They are pretty streamline in their design and color but can be challenging depending on the speicies you choose. You could design Moby Dick (sperm whale) and fun loving beluga whale or even a large humpback (ever a challenge if I saw one). If you wanted to stay under the sea but will relent on making a fish, you could have a shark of some manner or an eel or a more realistic squid or octopus.

    As for a name depending on which way you lean:
    Creatures of the deep
    Swimming with Ami
    Wet and Wild Ami
    Good Luck!!

  33. Peggy Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 9:29 am

    So cute!
    How about Sea-Ami?

  35. Eliea Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 12:42 pm

    I love the aqua pals name that a previous poster suggested but I also like:
    Aqua Animals
    Aquarium Friends
    Aquar-imals?
    Crochet Sea Pals
    Sea Pals
    etc.

    Can’t wait to see the next one the sea lion is just soooo cute!

  36. Christine Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 1:27 pm

    AquAminals. Marinamals.

    A polar bear would be awesome, since they are considered (semi aquatic) marine mammals.

  37. crafty carolinagirl Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 1:33 pm

    I love your dolphin & sea lion. They are both so cute!

    Everybody has come up with such cute names. How about Sea Anem’ami’?

    I’d love to see a pattern for a seahorse, walrus, starfish, sand dollar, or an oyster.

    Can’t wait to see what is up next :)

  38. Kathy Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:00 pm

    I just found your patterns on Etsy and came straight to your site to join your email list. Beautiful designs!

    Aqua Club
    sharks, sea otters, blue whale

  39. Jani Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:02 pm

    Love the Ocean-ami suggestion for a series name … also think a polar bear would be amazing & very popular. How about an octopus as well??

    Good luck with this - whatever you come up with, I’m certain it will be adorable!

  40. Tina Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:03 pm

    Wow. I like some of the names already picked. I couldn’t think of any better names…. I love the sea lion, and would like to see a sea turtle, too. All your designs are so neat. :)

  41. Deanna Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:05 pm

    how about water wonders? I think someone else has already given you the name that will win, several of them are very good!!

    would love to see walruses, beluga whales, killer whales etc.

    Deanna

  42. jeannette Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:10 pm

    i love your sea lion! what a wonderful piece!
    would love to see a leafy sea dragon & whale

  43. Valerie Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:14 pm

    These are great…just like all your designs.

    For the name, how about SeaAmi or AmiH20

    As for others in the sea ‘mammal’ range, how about a killer whale or manatee…both have striking appearances. The manatees face with those whiskers and cow like appearance….and the killer whale has wonderful body color contrast.

    If you chose something NOT a mammal, a Great White would be a neat subject because of its coloration………..

  44. Kathy Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:15 pm

    Sammy the sea Lion. He is adorable.

  45. Patti Newlin Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:21 pm

    I love your water creature ideas. A friend of mine recently got the chance to swim with dolphins and I would love to make one for her. The sea lion looks great too! For a name maybe . . . Water Buddies.

  46. Gail E Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:24 pm

    I LOVE both of them! Your work is so perfect and beautiful. It is going to be so much fun gifting the ami animals to children.

    As for a group name, I rather like SeaAmi Friends

    And for more creatures in the group, I would love to see a walarus, an otter, a whale of any species (the Orca would work up well), and maybe a polar bear.

    One more thing, Thank You! for sharing your talent with all of us.

    * Sea Ami
    * “Hooked” on the Sea (or “C”)
    * Ami Waves
    * Ami Water Pals

    Sea otter would be amazing. My boys would be in HEAVEN!

    Sea Turtles.

    Manatee.

    I know you said no fish, but there is the Box or Puffer that might be neat and would not be a “fish” shape.

    Hmmm, what about a lobster? Well, that might not be done in one pieve though, but would be really cute and could be done in one color.

    Star Fish but that too might be hard in once piece.

    Could maybe go into the air about the ocean and try a Pelican or Sea Gull.

    OYSTER! LOL (then you might need a name like Pearls from the fuzzy sea HA)

    Crab.

    What about Sea Horses? I am a huge fan of them!

    What you have so far looks amazing! Love your things!!

  48. Julie Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 2:59 pm

    Adorable!

    Lots of great names already!

    Not sure what all has been suggested (hope I don’t repeat)-
    MarineAmis
    AmiSurf (or SurfAmi)
    AmiAquatic

    Loch Ness Monster would be cool…:-)

    Thanks for all your beautiful work.

  49. Angela Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 3:07 pm

    The sea lion is so adorable! I like sea ami-mals for this new range.
    An otter would be cute, too.

  50. spyderkl Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 3:09 pm

    The names so far look great - I don’t think I could come up with another.

    As for animals - sea horses, squid (not sure if you could do that in one piece, but maybe without sewing), walrus, octopus - if I asked my daughter I know she’d have a lot more suggestions. I know she’ll love the sea lion.

  51. L Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 3:11 pm

    I would LOVE to see a seahorse, a narwhal, and a mermaid/merfamily!

    As far as names — so many great ones have been suggested already!

    How about:

    Ami-C-life (crochet life)
    or
    Swimi-gurumi

    Cheers,

  52. Diane Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 3:25 pm

    How about “Water Amis” as in (animals/amigrumi) I love our sea lion can’t wait to see more

  53. Kristen Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 3:36 pm

    Wow, I love these!

    For a name for the new range, what about something simple, like

    SPLASH!

    ;D If you could devise a nautilus I think I’d go nuts. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity out to the world!

  54. Michelle Politte Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 3:49 pm

    What about SeaPets for the name? Or SeaFriends. I like sea turtles but I’m not sure how difficult they would be to crochet. There’s also thinks like octopus and squid a whale would be easier then the turtle. ~Shell

    Oops! Forget that last post!!! Here are some idea names:
    Aqua Ami-Pals
    Ocean Babies

    Ami Sea-Pals
    I love all of the ones you have done so far. Maybe you could make a crab, a starfish, or a whale next!

  59. Katie Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 5:49 pm

    I’d love an otter and a sea turtle!

    a manatee would be great.

  62. Monica Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 7:08 pm

    i don’t know if anyone else has already suggested this, but for a name: Aquamis!

    Both of these have already been said, but I would be happy to see a seahorse and a starfish, as well as a whale and an otter.

  63. Charlene Shoemaker Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 7:19 pm

    Your sea lion and dolphin have clean lines and an uncomplicated expressiveness, much like the living mammals themselves. I’d like to crochet one of the animals that used to visit a cove near our house — the orcas of Puget Sound. They have the same sleek lines and that distinctive black and white combination that makes them so beautful.

    As for your creative grouping, I’d call them Neptune’s Children @ Planet June.

  64. Kathi Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 7:21 pm

    How about… Aqua-ramis, Seamates, Deep Blue-Amis, H2o-Amis, Neptune-Amis, Ariels-Amis, Posidens-Amis for the name.

    I would like to see some of the beautiful salt water fish, a narwhal, mermaids, a sea turtle. I agree with Nuu about the Davy Jones locker cast of characters those would be great hits I bet after the pirates of the carribean movies. Then there are Nautilis, deep sea angler fish, tube worms, Clown fish, Lobsters Skates Hmm… now those you could make into small nap blankets too couldn’t you. Then there are the extinct sea creatures that would be great fun.

    Best of luck and loads of fun are all wished for you, many will be hanging in wait for your next reveal ; )

  65. Melinda Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 7:27 pm

    Both of the new designs are delightful! I would love to see a walrus, a sea turtle, and or a blue whale.

    How about AquaAmi for the name?

  66. Kimberly Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 7:27 pm

    I like Sea Ami best, myself — works for the crochet reference AND gives a friendship gloss to anyone with a little French language puttering around their mind.

    I would like to see a manta ray, a sea turtle, or an otter…

    Cheers –

    January 14, 2008 @ 7:32 pm

    AmiAquatics?
    I’d love to see a Manatee, humpback whale, eel, seahorse.. Oooh! A flounder or a halibut??

  68. Katie Said,

    January 14, 2008 @ 7:43 pm

    Your sea lion is gorgeous!!!

    The first name I thought of was AquaAmis, but someone has already mentioned it. I will keep thinking, though. :D

    And, like so many others, I would love to see a manatee… or perhaps a mudpuppy? They’re neat. How about a beaver?

    The sea lion and dolphin look fantastic. I would love to see an orca, and a walrus would be cute. A manatee would also be great.

    How about “Nautical Neptunes” Or ‘Neptunes Nauticals’
    and I would love to see an Orca (Killer Whale) cause I live right in the area they are… coastal Oregon Merilu

    So cute! How about AmiSea? That way you aren’t stuck with just mammals if you decide to branch out into sharks or other fish.

    Wow, you’ve got lots of names to chose from! My first thought was
    Seagurumi, which is close to a few of the others already mentioned.

    The sea lion is adorable, and has the exact shape of a fur made one my dad brought back from Alaska when I was a kid.

    Did anyone mention an otter yet? They are cute, too.

    the sea lion looks great! I was gong to suggest SeaAmi which has already been mentioned. But I still think it is a good name!

    I love them so much!

    I think that the range should be called either Paddimals, AmiPaddles or AmiSplash

    I see others have suggested a sea turtle, which I love the idea of! But I think you should have a seahorse.

    SeaAmi, AquaAmi, Amiagua, Water Friends… Wet Pets..Marineamals

    I’d like to see a seahorse, and a manitee or a dugong, and an orca and a SHARK!

    I’m not reading other comments until I’ve posted, I’m sure there are some duplicates!

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Sea Lion - you made it perfect!

    I just LOVE the two you have designed thus far!
    For a name… there are so many good ones! Am glad you have to pick and not me! I thought of WildAmiOcean

    Everything I’d love to see has already been mentioned! The manatee, mudpuppy I think is the name… orcas, starfish, seahorse…

    Thank you for sharing your talent with us! HUGS

    The sea lion and dolphin are just beautiful! Depending on how many you want to come up with, they could divided in mammals, crustaceans, endangered, etc.

    So, like Crusty Crochet, Aquamals, CJewels, Aquatic Amimals, Aqua Crochet, etc.

    What a great job on the sea lion shaping. Bang on! How about Marine Mates? A sea turtle would be great as would beluga whale

    Your sea lion looks great! I would love to see an otter, maybe a whale and a seahorse. For a name, how about Ocean Dwellers or Water Babies?

    Ami’s Sea Treasures
    Ami’s Treasure of the Seas

    I think a Manatee (which is found in Florida) (but they aren’t especially
    ‘cute’.)
    How about a killer whale? (They are the black and white guys.)
    Or a plane whale. (well they do have different species)
