It's quite an honour! I got to interview Bea King, the designer behind Cottontail and Whiskers! She designs those amazing, beautiful and often very funny creations!! I'm really a fan!
You've just put the finishing touches on an amigurumi crochet pattern you were working on. The last threads of your crocheted creation are hidden away! And what a super fun amigurumi it has become! You are so proud that you would like to take a photo of it and share it on your own timeline on Facebook, on Instagram or in crochet-related Facebook groups. You're absolutely right! It is very nice to show your crocheted creations. I myself always find it very nice to look at the work of others.
Do you remember him?
You take a skein of yarn and a crochet hook and you can crochet any project you want? Is it really that simple? Almost! To crochet amigurumi you can choose from a lot of different types of yarn. It depends a bit on what you want to do with your amigurumi, which yarn you can use best. Are you going for an amigurumi as a decoration or a nice cuddly toy to play with?
Christmas in the summer?! Why not? It may be a little too early to think about Christmas, but before you know it, it's that time again! Fellow crafters and crocheters will understand this: if you want to make something fun to put in the house during the Christmas period or to give as a gift, you will have to start on time. So if you want to be in Christmas atmospheres for the whole month of December and it will take about 4 to 6 weeks to make nice things, then it is important to start at least mid-October!!
Fluffy yarn is so soft, so cuddly! You just have to crochet with it!! Maybe you have guessed it, but I am a big fan of fluffy yarn! If you ask me if I want to crochet with fluffy yarn then my answer will be: Yes, of course! But not everyone is a fan of that lovely fluffy yarn!
