Joining Amigurumi When making amigurumi, you will often need to join an open-ended crocheted piece (e.g. the top of a leg or tail or a muzzle) to a closed crocheted piece (e.g. the body or head). Sewing these together neatly can be tricky and can make the difference between a cohesive finish and an untidy messy join. In this tutorial I will demonstrate the method I developed for sewing pieces together neatly, with an almost invisible join. Both pieces are usually the same colour, but, for the purpose of this tutorial, I will be joining an open-ended brown piece (right) to a closed grey piece (left): You will usually have a long yarn end left over from the open-ended piece to sew the two pieces together. Hold the two pieces together in their final position, with the yarn end towards you. Begin the first stitch into the main piece, just outside the place where the two pieces touch: Draw the yarn all the way through so there is no slack, but do not pull it overly tight. I hope you find this tutorial useful!
Welcome to the Fulcrum Project Beta Site #Crochet #TipsTuesday: 8 tips for washing your crochet wearables Are you one of those crocheters (or knitters) who avoids making wearables because you’re not quite sure how to clean them? Or, do you just avoid wearing your gorgeous creations because you are afraid to wash them if they get dirty? This post contains affiliate links. Believe it or not, caring for your crochet (or knit) projects is much easier than it seems. Here are 8 tips to help you take the best care of your wearables. Most yarns – though not all hand dyed or hand spun yarns – include care instructions on the labels. These instructions are usually written out, but sometimes they use the international laundry care symbols. For best results, follow the instructions on the care labels. Avoid using bleach and harsh detergents on your crochet or knit items. In the washing machine, I use gentle, natural laundry or baby-safe detergents, like Seventh Generation, or I skip detergents all together and use water and agitation to wash. <a href="

Bagadnu For the sin of not visiting a sick relative or helping out a friend and instead doing something worthless like watching “Dancing With the Stars.” Gazalnu For the sin of stealing from the hot bar at Whole Foods … for saying you’re awesome at something you have no idea how to do …for the sin of being a wing man, talking to the other girl so my friend can hook up with her friend, even though I have no interest in the girl and hence have wasted her time. Vahirshanu For the sin of goading someone into getting into a conflict with someone else.
Fun With Color - Talking Crochet Updates - January 24, 2017 - Vol. 14 No. 2 Crochet News,Views & How-tos Most of us have our favorite go-to colors. For me it's deep pink, rich plum and dark cranberry. My husband likes royal blue, dark grey and soft brown. Those are all very harmonious colors, thankfully. How can you tell what your favorite colors are? One of my favorite ways (and the easiest way, in my opinion) to choose coordinating yarns is to base the colors on something from the stash of variegated yarn that I have collected over the years. Some of us lack the natural instinct for color -- I know it doesn't always come easy for me! Monochromatic Color Monochromatic color schemes are very easy to use because they only use varying shades of one color. Complementary Colors Complementary colors are located directly across from each other on the color wheel. Primary Colors Basic primary colors are red, blue and yellow. Secondary Colors Secondary colors are created by mixing primary colors. These are just a few of the many ways to combine colors.
