Husband sent me this pic that he found on the site formerly known as Twitter. I'm impressed that they either found sock yarn/#10 thread in dayglo yellow, or that they used basic cotton thread and found dayglo yellow fabric dye.

my first amigurumi with color switching! there are a lot of small mistakes on this one, but i think the overall quality is an improvement over my previous amigurumi.

maybe its because the shape is more complex than i've tried before, but it baffles me that i made this with my hands from nothing but yarn, stuffing, and safety eyes.

pattern is free on complicated knots's youtube channel

Finally finished Gengar, it's my first stuffie and was a gift to my sil.

Now on the next, I think I found a new addiction

ok the title is a little bit of a lie, i made a tiny jellyfish before this but the that was like 10 tiny rows so it doesn't count.

i love this guy! i learned a lot about how to improve my technique while making him, and i'm just really stoked with how he ended up. his eyes are a little wonky and the tension in the tentacles is all over the place, but i can write that off as personality lol. i was also pleasantly surprised with how the variegated yarn looks in a finished piece.

this pattern is free on ravelry: hubble the squid

My first project, I love it so much but I did something wrong with the magic rings as they keep unraveling 🙈

i just learned how to crochet and made these lil guys because the plastic/vinyl/whatever stuff on them was cracking and falling off. they're held taut by a drawstring which i just noticed is perfectly hidden by the angle of this picture, but i just used some extra yarn and tied it like shoelaces.

really simple and easy as a first project! i'm not sure if it is visible in the picture but i made the blue one second and i think it came out much better.

i got the idea from this video and used it as a general reference.

Playing around with a practice bag and found a cool strap that I thought should be shared. :-) Sorry the picture is sort of washed out, hope you can still see the fun detail on the strap.

Took me some time and struggled with choosing the right colors at first, but I'm super happy with how it turned out!

I used this pattern from etsy!

I had the idea a while back that making a crochet nudibranch with a frilled edge would be lots of fun. And I was thinking of making a scarf. So I made a nudibranch scarf.

Finally! After taking a bit of time away from crafting at all last year, this guy is finished!

Hi there! I hope it's ok to ask this here. I've been wanting to crochet an almost floor length cardigan, so I would need a lot of yarn. The pattern said they used a Level 4/Worsted weight yarn and had a gauge of 8 stitches and 6 rows on 4"x4". Now, I can't really find out what equals as worsted weight yarn here in Europe, and the ones I found all feel too thin to achieve that gauge. I've been to a local store where they recommended some cotton yarn and wool to me that should be equal to worsted weight. Now the thing is, they are quite expensive and I still can't get close to that gauge, meaning I would need even more. However, what I found of WW yarn, they all seem to be acrylic and honestly not much cheaper.

So I'm currently a little stumped, am I looking for the wrong things or do I have to face the fact that this cardigan would cost me about 180€ of yarn?

First thing I've crocheted in at least 3 years. Carpal tunnel is a bitch. My brother wanted some beanies he could wear in summer and picked this one out. You can't really see the pattern in the brim, but you can't see all the mistakes either, so it's a wash. :)

I made this some years ago for my niece who I think was around 6 years old at the time. I'm very happy with how it turned out. Sorry, I don't remember what pattern I used. I stuffed it with old socks and T-shirts that I cut into pieces.

A really cool piece of fiber art - and it can be yours for the modest price of $10k! I'm glad to see a fellow fiber artist doing so well and making amazing art!

Yes he's lumpy, yes his paws are mismatched, but it's my very first completed amigurumi and I'm proud of my little boy :)

I think I might have goofed a few things, but overall I'm pretty dang happy with how it turned out!

Is the border substantial enough? Or should I add more?

I didn't know there was a crochet community, how exciting! I just started in December, with quite a bit of (helpful) criticisms from my mom!

I actually made this for work if you can believe it. My boss paid for the pattern and yarn. It's for some team building we are doing this week.

Based on the paid pattern below: Finely the Border Collie

Took me a couple months off and on due to me getting stuck.

This pattern is from a book called "zoomigurumi 3". I adjusted the shell pattern, switching colours between each round, to get this spiral effect.

The book is really nice, well written. I've made a couple of other pattern from it and enjoyed each one!
