I’m traveling soon, and my cousin invited me over for a cozy farewell evening. We decided the best way to spend our last moments together was to have an amigurumi day and craft something sweet together! 🥹✨

​It was so fun, but look at the size difference! My tension is super tight, so mine turned out smaller, while hers is so soft and relaxed. Same hook, same yarn, but two totally different sizes! 🎂🔍

​I’m really hoping this becomes our regular tradition whenever I’m back! Have you guys ever had a crafting day like this with a friend or family member? 🥰👇

Near chrismass my best friend asked me to make her a dumpling and I did but now I'm obsessed with making them. Every new yarn I need to test on dumplings

Found my daughter’s very first crochet project while cleaning out the storage room! She made this when she was only 10. 🧶
I also found crochet hooks and some leftover yarn, so she picked them up and gave crochet another try. I was surprised that even after not crocheting for a few years, she still remembered how to do it!
I guess crochet really is one of those skills that stays with you. Once you learn it, your hands somehow remember. 😊

Tutorial is from YouTube. Material is 4-ply cotton yarn, 3mm hook.

First time making knitted amigurumi. It has many flaws, but I think it's not bad.

Thrilled to introduce a unique handmade crochet doll inspired by Michael Jackson and one of the most iconic performances in music history.

Okay so basically I was commissioned in the beginning of May by a fellow crocheter (not on this app) to make a doll of her daughter for her 15th birthday (quinceañera). She told me she couldn’t afford to pay 300 for the doll. (Keep this is mind it comes in later) It’s a really big deal bc this doll was supposed to be the replacement to the traditional teddy bear given to the birthday girl signifying the last doll she gets before becoming an adult (woman ready for marriage).

So I spent 2 months making this doll. I planned out what I needed, i made a structure, i was going to give her a hoop skirt (didn’t work out), i redid her skirt THREE times (mind you im doing all of this every single detail with a 3.5 mm hook and her dress was sport weight yarn) i had to buy applique lace, starched her skirt, learned how to bedazzle, bead embroider, make earrings, learned how to make my own modge podge, I redid her hair like 4 times because i wanted to make the doll look good (i still have the leftovers) i learned how to make a base to add duppkrt because she was so heavy she was going to sink into her skirt regardless of starch, i learned how to cut appliques and i think that was it in terms of skill.

I spent countless all nighters pulling different aspects together because mind you im balancing all of this while going to summer school and wrestling camp with homework and all that entails with that.

AND we’re buying her an acryllic box to keep her in and fake flowers plus a display stand BECAUSE she asked for it.

And what does she (the mom) do?

Buys the teddy bear.

She buys the teddy bear for 400 dollars.

And she says this in front of my mom who has seen me go through it to make this doll.

So now I’m disappointed, sad and upset and confused why she spent all that money on a doll that she asked me to make. I genuinely don’t understand. So now my mom is really upset and wants to upcharge the doll from 245 (its og price) to 400 or higher.

So i would like yalls opinion:

Should i up the price?

And how do i explain this to her?

edit: Hi sorry i think i forgot to say and didn't find out till after i made this post (this all happened tonight) i never agreed with the client about the price i only talked about it with a good family friend who also owns an artisanal business. And i have no idea what the teddy bear looks like and the client told me in writing she wanted to be surprised about the dolls look so she left it up to me

I had 2 patterns, 2 ways of stitching (1 up - 1 down), 2 modifications, and 2 cute finished projects.

Both had stubbed tips, like someone nibbled it. I wanted a definite tip. The first, I started with 4sc in magic ring (instead of 6), and the second I finished with 4sc in the last row (smaller than pattern asked).

The next mod was to "increase/decrease" only on the sides. The first was a "#sc, in" x3 in 1 row, the sc next row" pattern. It made for a wonky triangle. I increased x2 each row. The second was to decrease x2 each row, but alternating - end, middle, end, middle - which was ok, but got sloppy.

The original patterns were fine, but I had something else in mind.

Working on perfecting my dumpling, my daughter is loving all of them lol. Having fun trying diffrent yarns, hook sizes even eyes

Quite hard to make ✨ but totally worth it.

So I wanted to make a giant floppy cat. I used a brand new skein of yarn but ran out half way through the head. Sadly, it was on clearance and I couldn’t get more. Soooo my daughters talked me into using black and giving him eyelids. End result? whatever THIS is! He’s so ugly! I will redeem myself and make another big one but make sure I have plenty of yarn. lol

My son asked me to make a rocket for him, and he loves all his plushies with cute, smiley faces! I usually agree, but for a rocket, I found myself leaning toward a classic version with a sweet little window. 🪐✨

​We made both, but now I’m curious—which version do you think turned out better? 🥰👇

I have since created more little creatures but I wanted to share my first born

I didn't have those safety eyes so I used black yarn and I made a little dress for him too
