Yay! I love seeing other peoples' projects. Unfortunately I'm really ADD when it comes to working on stuff because I'll start one thing and put it away while I begin another. Ravelry has been a blessing and a curse as far as that goes. Right now I have about five unfinished works that I need to get done before the end of summer. Anyway, here is a scarf I made in January, simple wrist warmers and a catnip toy. Nothing terribly fancy :/  $38 for alpaca blend yarn, but worth every penny  Great for keeping fingers free and hands warm for winter photos  My cats liked the feather more than the toy itself. Assholes.

discordiaskitten posted:How did you attach the feather to the cat toy? I think my mogs would love a few of those but I can't work out how you'd secure it. I used a pony bead and hot glue  Just stick the feather(s) through before finishing and stuffing the ball, smother the ends with glue and pop a bead on there before it hardens. Then stuff around the bead so that it's not too noticeable and add in your catnip or what have you.

Anyone have a recommendation for a GOOD Amigurami instruction style book? I want to make some little plush farm animals and trucks for my young nephews. I tried making a pig recently and he's looking a little....retarded. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong with the increase/decrease stitches, if that is even the issue at all.

I just finished two more scarves, bringing the total to three now that I've made just to make them. Now I need to find someone to give them away to since I'm not sure anybody would buy them on etsy(there's a zillion scarves for sale there). Right now I'm trying my hand at amigurami again to make toys for my nephews, but I'm loving up the tension somehow. I'm also looking for simple cardigan patterns but haven't found any that I like on ravelry.

unfamiliar smells posted:Three days ago I could only slip stitch and single crochet. Then yesterday I picked up a book called Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet by Ana Paula Rimoli. Now I'm halfway through my first amigurumi pal - a bunny! The instructions for the stitches used are really easy to understand and the diagrams are super useful. I can't recommend it enough! Added to my wish list. I just hope someone gets it for me for my birthday instead of socks or more movies. Post photos of the little bun when you finish!

Blue_monday posted:does anyone know any online resources/videos that are good for teaching crochet stitches/reading patterns? I'm a fan of the picture tutorials on Mypicot.com You can find a lot of helpful videos on youtube too.

My grandmother apparently crocheted like that a lot because after she passed, we found a drawer full of squares with cats and geese and stuff. I want to learn filet but I'm afraid that it'll be too tedious/frustrating. Did it take long to finish?

The hat is fantastic. It makes him recognizable even without the face.
