After my success with the little koala bear hat I decided to go for another crochet project-amigurumi. I bought a pattern off etsy of the cutest giraffe. I then spent about 5 hours reading, youtubing, blogging, and e-mailing the sender to figure out how to read the pattern, understand how to make a "magic loop," how to work in rounds, and that the stitches here are ever so slightly different that what I was taught....but I had success and made the giraffe. Then-I modified the pattern and made a unicorn for a close friend's baby shower!
These take SO long to make. The giraffe with all the youtubing, re-doing, and re-reading of the pattern took probably a total of 20 hours to make. The unicorn was a little faster. Now I want to make these! I love baby shoes. I just need to use all the yarn I already have...
WOW. I am SO impressed!! That giraffe is so stinkin' cute! I totally believe it took that long too... I think I need to learn how to crochet!
ReplyDeleteGirl! This is seriously cool stuff! It fits with your maticulous and creative nature. I'm so glad you learned how to do this, so I don't have to. ;-)
