what i'm working on :: amigurumi

On Sunday I got a bit obsessed with amigurumi. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong before and now I can't wait to make tons of adorable little creatures!
haha! I think I am concentrating and trying to have a conversation in that photo.

I am really excited about amigurumi at the moment and I have a cute idea that I want to try out! I think I should be able to make my own pattern by now...2 days is enough time, right? :)

  1. I can't wait to see what you make!

    I can make a granny square and that it. I can't even crochet in a straight line. It's okay, though. I've accepted that it's just not my craft. :)

    Have a great day!

  12. I a absolutely infatuated with the color of your hair right now, Elycia!

    I wish I could crochet, but being left handed means I fumble every time my grandma tries to teach me. I can't wait to see what you come up with :)

  15. Oh I love amigurumi and cannot wait to see what you've made. I've been in the mood for crochet recently too, it must be an end of summer feeling.

    I have a weird memory that you crochet in a special way, like your fingers do what knitters fingers do. Does that make sense? Did I dream this? If not, can you do a video on how you do it because if I crochet for a while my wrists hurt so I'd love to try out different techniques but can't think of any!

  18. You're awesome! Lately I've really been wishing I could crochet anything other than a basic scarf! I'm jealous of your amazing talent. <3 Can't wait to see what you create!
