@lotsofthinkythoughts replied to your post “I decided I wanted to learn to crochet this year...”:

Also if you have crochet tutorial reqs I'd love to hear them, I'm trying to teach myself to knit but I'd love to be a double threat lol

​I'm doing this in a proper post so I can link to everything but YES, absolutely, these are the ones I've been using.

This is the tutorial I started with to learn the very basics and get to grips with the stitches. I had yarn and a crochet hook lying about the house anyway so this was also a really great way to see whether or not it was something I thought I'd genuinely enjoy learning before I invested any money into it. As you'll see this is Part 1, she's got a playlist of 5 videos total to introduce you to more complicated stitches and then some small projects.

Once I'd gotten the hang of the basic stitches, this was the first project I tried to do after actually buying myself some crochet hooks and new yarn. It took me a few tries to get it but it is fairly simple and I think mine came out not too badly for a very first try!

Before I started on my bumblebee, I used this tutorial to practise crocheting in the round and learn how to make a magic circle and combined it with this tutorial to learn how to change colours when crocheting in the round.

This is another tutorial that I've watched on changing colours without a noticeable jog although I've not tried implementing yet as I think I need a bit more practice first!

And then this is the tutorial that I followed to help me make my bumblebee - I had been using a pattern from a book that is almost the same as this but was having trouble, but watching her doing it and following along made it much simpler.

I've also bookedmarked this video, which is a list of 25 projects suitable for absolute beginners at crochet. This is where I found the bookmark tutorial and I'm planning on trying several of the others!

So those are my recs to get started and if anyone has any others they want to share, then please do!!

Hi! I'm Lorena.

I was born and raised in Spain, but I moved to the United States for love. Just a few years ago I picked up a crochet hook for the first time because I wanted to make my own dolls and stuffed animals.

After bringing to life countless yarn creatures that found their forever homes thanks to friends and family, Our Creative Fiber was born. Now I get to share what I love with even more people. 😊

Keep reading if you want to learn more about my crochet adventures.

You can check out our patterns and crochet tutorials on our Etsy store as well Our Creative Fiber's Youtube channel, where we will be slowly adding new videos and tutorials on crochet tips and some of our Amigurumi patterns.

My crochet skills evolution

I did not know how I was going to do it, but creating those dolls became an obsession of mine and I was determined to make it happen. I looked into sewing, beading. paper crafts and many other options out there. But nothing quite clicked, until I discovered Amigurumi. For the past few years, they have been all the rage among new and seasoned fellow yarn crafters. But what is it exactly? Well, it is a Japanese word that describes the art of creating adorable little creatures by means of crocheting and knitting.

Despite the fact that I had never picked up a crochet hook before in my life, thanks to many generous online creators, I got my feet wet by trying out easy video tutorials to learn how to crochet and do the most basic stitches.

This was the first "ugly" attempt I ever made at starting a crochet project.

My first project left a lot to be desired. I was happy when I figured out how to make a chain and then some single crochet stitches across it, eventually resulting in something resembling a rectangle shape. And extremely delighted the day I was able to create a 3d spherical shape. And yet, nothing will ever match the joy I felt when I completed my first ever real Amigurumi. It was a miniature bunny. Not the cutest, perhaps, but certainly the most special thing to me at the time.

This is a picture of this very first doll that is still very near and dear to my heart and proudly displayed in my office to this day.

Fast forward a few more weeks and lots of reading on Amigurumi, and I had been able to crack the basics of this art to come up with my own design. It was a birthday present for my best friend. A baby fox wearing pastel blue pijamas. Still one of my favorite creations to this day.

After that, I felt like nothing could stop me. I became seriously obsessed with this new hobby, and I made a myriad of other dolls and stuffed creatures that I gave away to friends and family.

My crochet patterns and tutorials

When I created Our Creative Fiber, I decided that I would write the type of patterns I would have loved to find myself when I first started. Cute, yet not too complicated. With clear explanations on what to do at every step of the way, and plenty of photographic evidence to demonstrate how to actually do it. In fact, if you take a look at the pdf files, you will notice that close to 100 pictures are included for each of pattern.

You still need to know the basics of crochet, but once you do, you should be able to follow along with no issues. However, if you end up having questions, you can always send me a message.

I hope you enjoy our crochet materials and that you get as hooked on this hobby as I did.

You reap what you sew.

Never have truer words been spoken. But they come as good news for Tumblr's sewing community, however, who have been sewing some absolute delights. Some real œuvres d'art. Some winner-winner chicken dinners.

As luck would have it, #sewing is trending. And it's trending right now, so we have reaped a selection of these very dinners for your eyes only. We have then asked ourselves just what did we do to deserve y'all, and your resplendent talents.

theres this thing i encounter a lot as a textile artist, where I'll be giving a gift/showing my latest project and people immediately decide that they will never make something like that. that maybe i figured it out but there's a limited # of people who can learn how to crochet and they just didn't make the cut. and it's kinda pissing me off. a lot of these trades are starting to fade away (death of older artists, industrialization, etc etc) and it upsets me that some people are willing to let their opportunity to make things they want to make go just because they don't know how yet. i taught myself embroidery from youtube and Pinterest. i taught myself how to sew and draft patterns and tailor. i taught myself how to follow crochet tutorials on youtube and eventually how to read the books. I'm not some blessed prophet of the gods sent with natural skills to create. (hell I'd even say im a beginner at most of the things i do, but we're getting there) and trust me there are PILES of scrap fabric and projects from when i didn't quite know what i was doing and just. fucking tried anyways. moral is. if you want to make something i swear to god you can figure it out. youtube is your best friend. books. google. people around you, people you know. just don't give up before you've even started

Amigurumi/Crochet Toy 101 + Resources

Noticed a couple folks in my tags mentioning that they wanted to learn or wished they knew how to crochet amigurumi. So here's a quick and dirty little how-to guide with resources I threw together? Hope it helps!

Tools + Materials

Crochet is one of those hobbies that is actually relatively cheap to get into. Here is a basic list of what you'll need to get started. You can find most of these at any craft store or even Walmart.

(1) Yarn (Required)

Yarns come in a variety of weights (sizes) and fibers. I recommend a soft, worsted weight acrylic yarn (indicated by a number "4" and "medium" on the yarn label) for your first few projects.  

Image

(2) Crochet Hook (Required)

These come in a lot of sizes and styles, and what size you'll use will depend on your yarn weight and how tight you want your stitches to be. I'd recommend buying just one hook to start with rather than a larger set. Metal hooks with ergonomic rubber handles are easiest for beginners (and on your wrists longterm, lol). A 5.0 MM/Size H or a 4.50 MM/Size G works best for making amigurumi with worsted weight yarn.

(3) Polyfil/Stuffing (Required)

For stuffing your project.

(4) Yarn Needle (Required)

Most crochet projects require sewing to one degree or another. Yarn needles are distinguished from regular sewing needles by their larger size, larger eye, and blunter tip. Yarn needles may be straight, or they may be angled at the tip (i.e. a darning yarn needle).

(5) Scissors (Required)

Any sharp, medium-sized pair of scissors will do for cutting your yarn.

(6) Sewing Pins (Recommended)

For holding parts in place as you sew them on.

(7) Stitch Marker (Recommended)

Many amigurumi projects are worked in rows of continuous rounds, and stitch markers can be used to mark the beginning or end of these rounds. They can also be used to mark areas of interest in your project or to secure your project to keep it from becoming accidentally unraveled. I strongly reccomend getting split ring ones. Scrap pieces of yarn also work in a pinch as stitch markers.

(8) Counter (Recommended)

For keeping track of your rows as you work a pattern.

(9) Safety Eyes (Recommended)

Most amigurumi will require eyes of some sort. Safety eyes (you can find these in various sizes in the doll section of any craft store) will give your project a polished look, but you can also use buttons, felt, or even embroider the eye details on your amigurumi.

(10) Stuffing Stick (Recommended)

For getting your stuffing into hard-to-reach spots. A chopstick or wooden skewer works very well for this.

Basic Crochet Stitches + Amigurumi Techniques

Most crochet patterns are built from a few basic stitches. Before attempting any larger project, I recommend getting comfortable with these stitches by making a few small, flat pot holders out of each basic stitch. A lot of crochet is pure muscle memory and practice, and this is a great way to start.

There are also a few techniques specific to making amirugumi that will be helpful for you to know. You can find any number of free videos/tutorials online. Below are links to a few videos that I found helpful when I was learning to crochet.

Single Crochet (+ Starting Chain and How to Count Stitches)

Beginner Amigurumi Patterns

These were the first three patterns I learned in the process of teaching myself how to make amigurumi. I recommend working them in the order they are listed. The first two links have step-by-step instructional videos and will help ease you into learning to read amigurumi patterns. All of these patterns are free, and there are many more free patterns out there as well. Have fun!

The thing that gets me about history and humanity is that you never know what is immortalized, and the things that will be immortalized are things you would never think.

I saw a person sharing a new tattoo, and it was one of Onfim's drawings. A boy who lived so long ago he is barely a blip now, but his drawings meant so much to people that somebody is now permanently marked in their skin with one of those drawings. Do you ever look at the things you make and just sit there and wonder if this is the thing that future people look at? Do you ever look at your art, your writing, your schoolwork, or anything that is yours and just wonder who will find it, who will fall in love with a piece of your humanity and become overwhelmed with emotion over? It's not unlikely. It's not totally unlikely that somebody will find a piece of you in the distant future and devoid of any other context of who you were will still love you because you were here. You were here, and you are still here, even hundreds or thousands of years later. Treat yourself with the same love that so many have for dear Onfim.

#positivity #gentle reminders #if anybody has ancient children's drawings beside onfim let me know they melt my heart #i have always wanted a tattoo of that kind of thing too and i want ideas #see if archeologists dig me up or whomever else they won't find significant tattoos or other things. they will see i have loss.jpeg on me #and i think that's just as important. these people must know that people are silly and weird and don't make sense and that's IMPORTANT #i'm just. so obsessed with this because it's instantly humanizing #what little child hasn't drawn humans with twelve fingers per hand #or those kids drawings where it's only a torso/head conglomerate with stick legs and hands #i just really lived seeing how their tattoo turned out because i wasn't sure if it would look good in ink and skin #i feel the same way about archiving the internet. i was looking for the written crochet pattern for something #and the person who wrote and created it passed away and their blog has been scrubbed #their blog only exists on the archives. their pattern is only accessible on youtube because somebody made a video tutorial with the pattern #it's an eerie feeling. they've been gone for two years but their blog has been tethered by the wayback machine
