Meet Jade, my first try at making a Dragon Amigurumi. 🐉

I wanted to get a feel for the pattern and construction and used fingering scraps. Looking back, probably not my best choice, but it sure gave me a steep learning curve!

Fellow crafters: If you ever wonder if you weave in ends well enough to prevent future unraveling, I recommend trying to undo it.

I decided to go a different route with a bit of knitting after I'd finished it off.

If the task requires cursing, you have done very well.

I, for example, am an unmitigated master at weaving in ends. I'm particularly adept at "splitting" the yarn I'm weaving into, hence knotting the yarn quite satisfactorily.
Yep - cursing was involved. 😉🤪😇

Anyone here play with freeform crochet? I just discovered it & have been playing with making lots of random shapes. It's been great fun to let go of any predestined or preplanned pattern. It's also great to bust through my yarn stash.

I have no idea what all these pieces will end up turning into.

Hello #FinishOrFrogAlong peeps! It’s almost the end of September! If you haven’t shared pics of your finished objects, FOs, or anything you decided to scrap, please do post! And if you continue into October, keep using the hashtag so we can see what you’re up to! Thanks everyone for being here this month. #handspinning #knitting #crochet #weaving #quilting #sewing #crafting #crossStitch #leathercraft #FiberArts #handmade #embroidery

Started making a blanket in October 24th 2023.

Just finished it.

Made using crochet with pre-looped yarn and it was my first time using that sort of yarn.

I think that *actual making* was probably 6 - 8 (?) hours, I had ten balls of yarn.

Enjoyed it a lot! Learned quite a bit about stitch directionality and also ways to deal with dropped and/ or extra loops.

My biggest accomplishment was engaging with all of you #FinishOrFrogAlong folks! I finished one washcloth, one spinning project, and 5 hexiflats (including one handspun one). I also cast on the Fox Whisperer shawl after encouragement from all of you!

I love engaging with all ya’ll now and throughout the year. Thanks everyone! Let’s keep the connection energy going!

Today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A: well, we have talked about our favorite projects and our dream projects. Maybe you found some inspiration from something someone else is working on.

What do you have teed up as your next project? Are you pushing ahead on finishing or frogging more stuff? Or are you casting on or otherwise starting something new?

Hello #FinishOrFrogAlong peeps! We are at the start of Week 4! Today’s Q&A is: what else do you hope to accomplish this week - or into October if you’re continuing the finish-or-frog-along push? What kind of support might be helpful?

Today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A — what is one of your favorite finished items that you have made (ever, not just during FOFA)? Feel free to answer multiple times if you have many things you’d like to share with us. I love getting inspired by all the work you’ve done.

Hey #Crochet #Brochet #FiberArts #YarnArts Mastodon, does anyone have a pattern for a crochet Mastodon? One of my friends has joined us and is really digging it and I thought I'd make her a stuffed Mastodon as a holiday gift. I've found a couple of elephants online but I bet someone on here knows of a specifically Masto-stuffie 😁
