I love your work! Do you mind if I ask how you do the edging without the cloth fraying?

Awesome! I've never done that stitch before but I've seen it around 🙂 hope it all goes well!

I do a lot of my stuff freehand or editing patterns to my own liking 😝 I would suggest just following your gut. If the stitches feel too tight then go up a size, but if you're happy with the outcome then it doesn't really matter

In my experience, a lot of yarn has suggested hook sizes on the packaging. I've heard it can be better to go one size smaller for amigurumi to tighten the stitch.
Can you be more specific about the problem you're having?

Pretty colours!! 😍

I love the colours. What's it going to be? 💜

Self taught so I might not be able to answer your questions but happy to try!

Christmas Bow This one was a free hand project. I used single crochet to make a few rows, alternating the colours, and then stitched them together to make a ring. I used chain stitches and simple pompoms for the…

Handbag At work we do Kris Kringle each Christmas and, what a surprise, I decided to crochet the gift for my KK! After subtle working out what her favourite colours were, which was not easy! I went searching for bag patterns and I came across this one. This was my first crochet bag and I feel like I learned a lot from it.

Little Bear This pattern (see below) was another one of my facebook finds. I have signed up to a few groups where people post patterns and I like to save some for later use. This is a very simple bear, quite small, and I used it as part of a Christmas gift, adding a bit of rainbow colour to the rest of the present.

Plush Hearts I wanted to make a gift for my parents' anniversary and I found this link for plush hearts (see link below). I made one in purple for my mother, her favourite colour, but why stop there? I made another for my aunt for her birthday, then I made a pink one for my grandmother for her birthday. That left one more aunt on my mother's side, so what did I give her for her birthday?

Little Bunny Comforter While I was proud of the bunny comforter I had already made, it was quite large and time consuming. I came across this pattern on facebook (See below for the link) and had saved it for a later date. The later date came up pretty soon! Two of my wonderful friends from work were expecting grandchildren so I made them one each. The smaller pattern was faster, and I also believe it is a more suitable size for a baby.

Floral Headband My daughter had a scraggly headband that had definitely seen better days so I decided to give it a makeover! I crocheted around the headband to make it green and to give me stitches to work with. Then I made simple flowers and leaves, attaching them to a crochet chain.

Thanks! I'm quite happy with it 😍

Wonder Woman After making Superman and Supergirl, it was suggested that I make a Wonder Woman. I looked up different pictures and just gave it my best shot. I was pretty excited when I came across the cheap silver yarn at the shop! I had been thinking I'd need to use grey. The entire work was trial and error and making it up as I go along, using some of the same techniques as I used for the other two doll costumes, but also adding in other details, like the star stitching.

Bookmark with bead When exploring a new craft, you find things you like and things you don't like. I was not as fond of this bookmark as the others, probably because the result was a bit floppy and I didn't feel as though it looked right. It found a good home though, as all the other bookmarks did too. I offered them around at work and several people wanted one.

Another bookmark!

Fan bookmark By this point, I was on a roll. I started searching up other bookmark patterns to see what else I could do. I came across this one (link to free pattern below) and I found it to be an easy pattern to follow. It worked well with my grandma's thinner yarn and I was quite happy with the results. It was easier than the others because there was no sewing and it was all just in the one colour, but there were more steps to follow. Link to free pattern download
