Release of Fantasy Folks collection!

Making facial hair is a great way to add detailing to a face. There are many different ways to make moustaches, beards or both of them combined. Using simple yarn to sew on is the easiest. This time, I’ll be showing how to crochet it!

This time, it’s a slightly different pattern with my old Wizard! Ok, so this was an older form of Gandalf that I made, which was simpler to crochet but it does have some assembling components. If you missed out on my free Hobbit pattern, it’s right here to follow! I did update my Gandalf this round so he looks slightly different at the end, but this version is pretty cute and endearing too :).

Here’s a little sneak peek! Ok so I will be releasing the Fantasy collection soon but this is just some behind the scenes of what I have been doing. Just so you know, I am also in the midst of coming up with some guide on amigurumi noses so these are just SOME of the nose examples I have made before.

Hey guys another free pattern has landed! This little guy has a special place in my heart, he is Pippin! My sister’s favourite hobbit and quite possibly the silliest hobbit! Making the hair for these little guys were pretty challenging and I would not say I am the most satisfied with them but this is some of my earliest work!

If you have ever considered just trying out shiny yarn, maybe for crocheting and for amigurumis, I have some tips and suggestions for you! Especially if you have never used it before. The first time I used it, it kept tangling up and getting caught together. I literally had to crochet then cut, crochet then cut and repeat to get it done, unraveling was such a nightmare too. So these are some of my tips and tricks (after a fair bit of destroyed yarn) to dealing with shiny yarn:

Technically not a crochet tutorial but a craft wire tutorial! It is for accessorizing our amigurumis, which I love to do! This time, it’s about making Aragorn’ sword using some simple craft wires. I used the same method to make a trident for Aquaman and a pair of sai for Elektra, as you will see later on!

Here is the the Spring Squirrel Pattern Part 3, now to continue from the head, body and limbs, onto the tail and facial detailing. If you prefer to work from a printed pattern, all 3 of the CAL patterns are available as a PDF bundle to buy, just click on the button below to grab it!

This time I wanted to show something slightly different. In the spirit of recycling, which as you will come to see, occurs more frequently in my next few collections. These are 9 different ways I have managed to use random household things and incorporate them into my amigurumi! Perhaps you can try some of them, after all they were going to be thrown away!

Here is the the Spring Squirrel Pattern Part 2, now to continue from the head and body, onto the arms and legs. If you prefer to work from a printed pattern, all 3 of the CAL patterns are available as a PDF bundle to buy, just click on the button below to grab it!

Hope you are enjoying the Spring has Sprung Crochet-A-Long! Here is the the Spring Squirrel Pattern, broken down into 3 separate parts. If you prefer to work from a printed pattern, all 3 of the CAL patterns are available as a PDF bundle to buy, just click on the button below to grab it!

Here are the different components of the Woodland set, inspired by Fall colours!

My second free printable from the Woodland set! This time, I decided to make some mix and match printable cut-outs.

I need pattern testers again! This time it’s a fantasy-inspired set and the colours are slightly darker but still fun to make nonetheless. There are different involved, but you can see that from the image above right, some parts almost completely revealed lol.

Surprise! I decided to restart some of my random stop motion animation videos.

Adding magnets to my amigurumi in a new refreshing way! I figured it was a safer and cleaner way of being able to match different amigurumi components as compared to say velcro or other methods! Read on to see what I did for my Woodland set and all the individual animals.

Just a quick update and unboxing because I was so excited to receive this! Right after this Giveaway Collaboration with Yarnie Finds last month, I decided to purchase some for myself!

Another free printable by yours truly! This time, I decided to do something a little different, with some interactive writable components.

So I’ve been trying to figure out different ways to make different animal positions. I have done up some animal positions previously but that is something I would like to explore more of. For the next collection I’m releasing, I did attempt to try a few more animal positions to try out in my woodland creatures so stick around to check that out.

Today is Day 4 of the Christmas Email Hop and it’s my day! If you missed the first 3 days, it was actually @anvisgranny on Day 1 with Christmas Tree Doll, @sweetsofties on Day 2 with Christmas Elf and @rxy_crochet on Day 3 with Ice Ice Baby!
