Release of Fantasy Folks collection!

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!

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!
