When I started to crochet I made this basket to stash the yarn I bought, but as I bought more and more yarn it was getting hard to find what I needed and I never new what I had.
- Have everything you need at arm's reach
I keep my most used tools in this organizer box, that way I have all I need in one place.
- Grab small tools with a tweezer
I use an old tweezer to pick up needles, pins, hooks and other tools that are sometimes hard to pick up with just your fingers.
When I go to my mom's I know that I always have a little bit of time to crochet, so I always bring the project I'm working on with me. How do I do that in a easy and practical way?
I use a hold backpack from school to carry everything that I need!
What inspires me and helps me continue on my adventure.
Creativity and inspiration are two strange partners. They don't come when we want them to and when they come we have to drop everything we are doing or they'll wander off again.
For eight weeks now I've been leaving you some inspirational photos, videos and words and I never told you how inspiration comes to me or what I do to ensure that these two visit me. Here is a list of things that help me be creative and inspired
When following one of my patterns, in the material section, you will see the yarn I used for that project. I don't give specific brands because they might not be available to you. I indicate the colour and also the yarn weight.
Yarn weight refers to its thickness. Using different types of yarn or hook can change the project significantly. Even though in amigurumi gauge isn't important (what's important is that you use a yarn, tension and hook that results in tight enough stitches that the stuffing doesn't show) I want you to achieve an end result that resembles mine (of course you can personalize it how ever you want).
So if a pattern asks for a medium weight or a light weight yarn, what does that mean? Do I mean aran, worsted, 8 ply, 9 ply... ? If you're not familiar with those terms or, like me, like simpler and more concrete measures keep reading!
Just got this big cork board to help me stay organised and visualise my path and goals.
For me it's super important to keep track of what I do and to plan out tasks, otherwise I feel I don't have time for anything. Sometimes we get lost in the middle of so many ideas that we end up not doing any of them.
Lets take a peek on how I'm using it!
Quick useful tip for today:
Do you want to turn this mess...
