I'm a bad deviant. I haven't posted in a while. I am excited to tell you about my new partnership with AllFreeCrochet.com though! They offered to pay me to make some crochet videos for them, and I recently uploaded Episode Two of a short series I'm making for them called Creating Amigurumi! Cool, huh?
You can find them on my channel at YouTube as well as AllFreeCrochet's channel.
Creating Amigurumi Episode #1 -- Jan demonstrates The Magic Loop and Amigurumi Double Ring Methods of beginning to crochet in the round.
Creating Amigurumi Episode #2 -- Jan demonstrates crochet in the round with single crochet increases.
By the end of the series, viewers will have been shown all the skills they need to create their own amigurumi designs. I'm pretty excited about it!
I haven't made much in the way of jewelry recently, but I've been crocheting a lot. Just got a gorgeous book called Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs by Edie Eckman and I'm just loving it.
There are so many cool motifs to play with to construct blankets or even just yarnbomb the town in (not that I admit to participating in such subversive activities ). It's spiral-bound so it lays flat while you read and stitch, the patterns are written out in easy, common terms as well as graphic chart, and the pictures are in gorgeous, full colour. There are patterns for all skill levels here, though none of them look too daunting if you are familiar with the basic stitches. This cover alone, worthy of hours of admiration, makes me smile every time I look at it.
I highly recommend this book to my fellow hookers!

Journal 26 - Jewelery Feature 4
Since I finally set up two new boxes on my profile page that feature my recent favourite amigurumi and jewelery, I won't post these journal features as often, but I wanted to point out a few recent faves to my friends who might not have visited recently, but would read this. XD

Journal 25 - Studio-Making
Today on my blog:
Studio-Making
Over a year and a half ago, I arranged a nice little desk in my basement laundry room to serve as my jewelery-making 'studio' space. It worked well enough in the summer when I wanted to escape to the cool basement to create. In the winter, well.. I could always wear polar fleece (I practically live in fleece in the winter anyway).
We have a small bedroom in the basement that's not being used much, so I decided to make the space a little more useful.
Check out my blog for the rest of the story and pictures, if you like. There's still work to do in there, but I have a place to create, and that makes me feel

My kids are loving pokemon right now and I know when they see this they're going to look at me with the puppy dog eyes and ask me to make some pokemon amigurumi for them. How can I top this one though? SO Cute.
