Steph, if you are starting to be able to see where the mistakes are that is a huge step forward. Well done and good luck with the crochet.

@DoodleDate that was one of the best things I ever learned to do with knitting and crocheting- learn to recognize what I'm looking at and what I've done. Way to go!

If you don’t have any stitch markers, I recommend them for this amigurumi type of crochet. It’s a lot easier to count and keep track of where you’re up to when you can put a marker in the end of each row.

Steph it's so amazing to see your crochet work well done!!! And Adam your front cover is brilliant!! One thing I did notice that might help you with your crochet is that your work is inside out atm (at 11:40 for example). Totally fine if you like it that way, but some beginners get frustrated because it can make it harder/different to do some techniques and they have no idea why. You can tell because the starting yarn tail will be on the outside if it's inside out. Happy crocheting!!

I am very impressed by the crochet progress! I love how Steph decided that the sphere looked more like a space fruit, so that's what it became. Happy Accident mentality is definitely required when learning a new skill because you can end up with things that are more special than a perfect sphere. Keep us updated on what else you come up with, I am very excited to see! (also love the picture of the T-rex and limo, Adam does good work too)

@deeRex56786 5 ай бұрын

I love that your starting crochet projects are plushies. As an ADHD crocheter I found granny squares and other projects too repetitive to learn on and nearly gave up. Once I tried an amigurimi it all came together for me. The constant changes in row counts while keeping the same stitch type made it engaging enough to do a whole project. I’ve been crocheting for over 10 years now and still struggle with the “same same” type projects like blankets, clothes and shawls. Unless they’re an intricate pattern.

@DoodleDate 5 ай бұрын

Hahah everyone keeps trying to send me patterns to things like granny squares and scarves but they don't excite me- but AMIGURUMI. I've discovered I will jump over hurdles to make a lil guy ^u^

@themadowl9224 5 ай бұрын

This cheered me up so much! I love the little dinosaur, but I'm sooo happy about Steph's crochet. I started to crochet myself this Monday, so I've been at it for a week, to distract from sucidal thoughts and stop doomscrolling, I figured my hands need something to do. I've also been making so many magic circle things, dice pouches and tiny 3d mushrooms largely! It really motivates me to see someone else show their genuine beginner projects. Also, on the topic of mushrooms: If you think slime mold isn't impressive, you should research it! It's intelligent, can solve mazes, survives pretty much an anything, is made up of thousands of individual organisms, moves about the place and isn't even technically a fungus and definitely not mold. I love slime mold ❤️

the crochet things are so cute. On the note of the cheap yarn I would personally advise against buying acrylic fibers cause they dont decompose and synthetic fibers are one of the biggest contributors to micro-plastic pollution right now. Its mostly a thing with fast fashion clothes and synthetic fishing lines but I like to avoid synthetic yarns whenever possible just cause I feel like its best to keep that stuff to a minimum in whatever little ways I can

I've only been crocheting for about a year now, and I think you're doing wonderfully so far! You've learned so much so quickly! Also, sorry if this is something you already know, Steph, but when crocheting something 3D, it tends to want to fold so you're working on the wrong side, which can be a lot harder to do. After the first few rows, it's good to flip the project inside out so that the starting tail rests inside the shape. Although whichever way works best for you is great! I had to try wrapping the yarn around my fingers so many different ways before I found one that worked for me. So it's definitely different for everyone.

My cat's also been bothered by the blustery blowing of the wind recently. She's spent a lot of time in my knee under my blanket (often with a sketchbook out pencil case balanced on top of her) as that's where she feels safest. She's like a hot water bottle so it's helpful for me too! I often draw with my hands pulled in like trex and when I'm on the sofa. Keeps my lines steadier.

If your hands ever get achy when you crochet (or knit), try switching to yarn made from 100% wool, since it's warming it's easier on the hands. It might be a bit more expensive but it's worth it and sometimes possible to find in second hand stores.
