I'm currently practicing my Amigurumi skills, experimenting with different yarns and techniques. I feel I have so much to learn, because so far, Amigurumis were not amongst my favourites to make. I still need to be careful, because they are hard on my hands.
Shroomie #3 is going to a work colleague.

The middle section of the crochet blanket I currently work on is ready. The project is inspired by the vibrant colors of #Mexico - and is hopefully going to be shipped there some time soon!

Fair Warning: Mushroom Spam incoming soon, latest once I took them out for a photo shoot. LOL Finished the little guy yesterday evening, thus there's just a crappy "Yay, I'm done!" picture. Showing him off with his bigger sibling.
I'm very much still learning Amigurumi, so this time, it was about practicing with smaller yarn. Which I prefer to the Velvet yarn, as I can actually see the stitches. :D

I hope to show off something recent soon again, but until then, have some more older makes.
This one was super relaxing to make and now has a good home with my aunt, who jumped on it immediately, as she adored the colors. :-)

My posting has slowed down a bit and that's ok. There's 164 of you following my crafting journey since I joined here back in January, and for this I thank you.
Thank you for sharing the love of crochet and handmade art with me and thank you for being an amazing community.

Today I'm showing you another cowl that could double as a headwrap. I'm still not a cowl-person, but I very much like the yarn and how it pooled. :-)

This is a very special piece. In one of my yarn surprise boxes, there was this crazy luxurious yarn:
40% Wool - Merino
25% Camelid - Llama
20% Silk
15% Cellulose - Linen / Flax

I was almost scared to use it and searched the longest time for a fitting project. I eventually decided on the Shawl of the Moirae and I think it's such a special piece.

Let's talk about blocking your crochet pieces. Blocking is magic and can bring your project to a whole new level.
Swipe to see what this snowflake ornament looked like before and during blocking. In this case I was also working with starch, which I don't do for shawls. But it's useful for an ornament.
By the way - you don't need expensive equipment to block something. In this case, I used a kids' playmat and some pins. You could also use a folded up towel.

About three years ago I took on the adventure "Elf Coat". It was my first Tunisian Crochet Project and what a learning it has been. The pattern and the resources available from the designer are wonderful and I learned so much from her! The following observations are related to my specific project alone.

- Don't use acrylic yarn for a garment. The static when peeling this coat off is unreal.
- Don't forget gravity: I'm plus size = more yarn = heavier garment = the whole thing stretches when worn. I wanted it to be at my knees, it grew down to my shins.
- Did I mention the static? Seriously, I think that surprised me the most.
- Tunisian Crochet is not my cup of tea. But I'm happy I tried it out.
- Making a garment as a plus size person sucks, unless the garment was specifically designed for plus size.

This is a more recent project, finished last December; therefore the slightly crappy lighting. It's super flowy and delicate, made with lace-weight yarn. And it has glitter! Swipe to the close-up to actually see some of the sparkles.

Oh, I almost forgot about this beauty! I used 2 Yarncakes and alternated them; I ended up using about 1824 m yarn. It's a pattern by a polish designer, essentially it's just charts and I was so proud that I managed to make it. Being able to read crochet charts opens up a whole new world beyond language barriers. I love it.

Sometimes I make things because I'm intruiged with the construction. Like this sleeved shawl. I thought it might be a really cool accessory for those chilly office days. Well... Unfortunately, a sleeved shawl works not for me. It feels a bit like a straight jacket and gives me T-Rex Arms. :shrug:
Ah well, it was totally worth a try.

I told you I temporarily became a mad hatter when I discovered making my own strawhats. :D Here I used a chiffon cloth as a hatband - it's actually a juggling cloth usually used by kids to learn juggling. :-)
This hat was claimed by my aunt for gardening, and I'm glad it has a good home with her.
What is interesting here is that I used a slightly different paper yarn. Most Raffia will be broad and flat, but some are rolled and round and more yarn-like. See second picture for a direct comparison. This will in the end have an impact on your gauge and the size of your project, so it's a good thing to know.
