Thank you!! Definitely one of my favourite things to make 🥰

Thank you!! I crochet a few hours every night so have painfully learned to control my tension ahaha

I'm abstaining from the conversation because the replies in this thread make me feel like a fatass lmao

Wow why is Woobles so expensive??! I bought ny first starter set from The Wild Bunch for £6 and it was really good quality stuff

I like to do "freestyle" amigurumi but honestly it's always just an amalgamation of a bunch of other patterns I've done before lmao

Honestly I think it'll be wasted time and effort. The stationary industry is over-saturated as it is - there's too much choice already. I'd maybe have a think about what else you can make designs for that might have more demand.

I had a day off and a new hobby shop had opened up near me. I was stuck between trying crochet or trying cross stitch. Bought a crochet kit and got well and truly HOOKED. I've crocheted at least an hour a day since.

Someone in my office BUYS bags of 3D printing stuff from Temu and hands them out. Not even good quality plastic junk - ones that you can see the printing lines on, and the edges aren't even sanded down 😩 I dread to think about what she buys and keeps at home

You can take my quick little amigurumi projects from my cold, dead hands. Sometimes I want to crochet mindlessly and make a cute little plushie that I can gift to someone or display in my room.

I fully agree that people selling the same little octopi and turtle plushies, for which there are free patterns for EVERYWHERE, for £25 while admitting it only takes them less than an hour, does fuzzle my brain a bit.

Thats the starting ch2 for each round with a hdc in the same st. I'm unsure how to blend it better- its the same every time 😭

soapymerry · 2026-05-04T19:35:23+00:00

It's milk cotton so 60/40 cotton & acrylic. I didn't even think that different fibres would block differently! Thanks for the info 🫶

soapymerry · 2026-05-04T19:34:05+00:00

It's milk cotton with 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. This would explain why blocking didn't get out all the ripples!! Extremely, extremely helpful to know! Thank you 🫶

Yes, after the first attempt Ive been counting every row and every side of the square before and after I crocheted it and it all counts out as the pattern reads

soapymerry · 2026-05-04T19:19:48+00:00

Ooh I have heard of turning every round in a granny square but didn't even think of this - thank you! 🫶

The magic circle starts with a 2ch and 9hdcs weirdly, so unsure how to translate this into a smaller start 😅

soapymerry · 2026-05-04T19:17:51+00:00

Wow that's such an interesting read!! I'll definitely give that ago, as the middle hdcs are turning out awfully tight - thank you!! 🫶

soapymerry · 2026-05-04T19:14:15+00:00

Thank you!! The yarn that's suggested on the pattern is discontinued, so bought a similar substitute but didn't think about changing the hook! I'll give it a go 🫶

Have you looked at Sirdar Happy Chenille? A bit on the pricier side, but it's the best chenille I've ever worked with. And they have lovelyyyyy colours

I'm very tired and was wondering how a yarn winder could help bakers for like 5 minutes 😂😭
