Something new I'm trying is making jogless stripes in crochet. I don't recall ever doing this before, but I'm amazed at how easy it actually is. I used this video tutorial to learn how to make a "circle join" stitch. Note: the video is long, and the speaker goes slowly, but you only need to truly watch from 3:52 to about 12:00 to understand making the circle join stitch. I only use this stitch about two rounds before changing colors. Otherwise, on long stretches of crocheting one color in the round I simply crocheted in a spiral.
I hope to have this finished next week. The face (in this case it will be just eyes) is often the deal maker or breaker of an amigurumi so wish me well in that. 😉
Later, gator!
I was going to guess Waldo, but his pants are blue. Glad you found something fun to do.
ReplyDeleteWaldo! That would be fun. :)
DeleteA fox, perhaps? Whatever it is, I'm pretty certain it's going to be cute!
ReplyDeleteI do hope so. ;^)
DeleteI can't wait to see it finished I'm sure it's going to be incredibly cute. That's the problem with stripes in crochet and knitting come to think but once you know how it makes all the difference. I do love amigurumi but I have to be in the mood. Have a great week. xx
ReplyDeleteWhen I learn a new technique I always wonder how someone else figured that out! So glad they did. :)
DeleteSo cute whatever it is! You are such a great crocheter....your stitches are always perfect. I'm thinking a fox too because I love foxes! LOL! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteAw... Thanks Sam. :)
DeleteOh I thought I had landed at Amalia's. I have no idea what you are creating except it appears to be two-legged. I am pitiful.
ReplyDeleteAmalia! She is the queen of cuteness in my book. :)
DeleteAn adorable animal wearing a cute sweater is my guess.
ReplyDeleteYou would be correct. :)
DeleteThis is probably a long shot, but the colors makes me think "fox." (And I had to look up the word amigurumi because I was clueless!)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a fun word?
DeleteI'm guessing a fox. Can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to be finished! :)
DeleteIt's looking pretty cute so far so I hope the head goes well.
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along! :)
DeleteSo sweet. Can't wait to see the finish.

Soon, I hope! Thank you, Amalia.
DeleteYou are such a tease. You made us guess with a cross stitch a while back and now with this. I was going to say a fox also, but knowing you, it is probably something else. Whatever it is, it will be darling. I do agree, faces are the hardest thing to do on 'toys'.
ReplyDeleteWhen my crafting is so simple these days, it's my hope that creating a bit of a mystery about them makes my simple projects more interesting. :) I try, anyway.
DeleteI'm going to hop on with my guess of Fox. So far, the body is looking extra cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cinnamon. :)
DeleteI am guessing a fox too. Jogless stripes sounds like something I need to check out. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteGlad I put the link in my post! :)
DeleteI don't crochet but I sure do like what you're working on. My guess is the amigurumi project is a long-legged doll? I am unfamiliar with the word "amigurumi."
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara! Your guess is correct. It is some sort of a doll...
DeleteIt looks perfect so far and I suspect you are now done so I shall look forward to finding out what it is.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucy. :)
DeleteBecki that looks so cute! Well...torso and legs...and just eyes. Unless you photographed it upside down and that's a face with long ears? I'm stumped lol! :) Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog the last month! xxx
ReplyDeleteTorso and legs. :) Yes, that is what you are seeing. Though it would have been clever if I'd thought to photograph it upside down. I like how your imagination works, Rain. :)
DeleteThe striped body of your amigurumi made me smile.🙂
