My WIP Is Done

 My first Amigurumi is done!

I would share a picture now, but I'll wait until after the holidays since the intended recipient hasn't gotten it yet.

I have  Yip-Yip that has been on my hook since last year that is still only in the first few rounds of creation. I am afraid though that I might have to frog it and start over. EEK!  I've also got more yarn to make at least three more, two of which are friendly commissions.  A friend asked me to make a red one and a blue one. But I had the hardest time finding the yarn for it. I finally found some last year. I have just been so unmotivated...until lately.

In the meantime, I have finish one of the Christmas baubles that I also started last year. And I have started another one. They work up pretty fast and you can find different patterns for them online.  Some are super simple and others more complex. I'm sticking with simple for now.

I don't know if I'll do the Yip-Yips right now even though I should. I'm supposed to be starting on another Amigurumi. One of the ones I want to try to make, I don't have the yarn for it yet.  

I'm not sure how I feel about the Amigurumi. It was fun to make the one I did and I'd like to challenge myself to make them. But they can be so hard on my hands. I'm not a fan of single crochet or in the rounds. Maybe bigger ones are the  answer though. Guess I'll find out.

Thirteen Years Later...

It's been another hot minute or more since I've been here.

I haven't been crafting like I have wanted to for various reasons.

While I still love crocheting, and wish I could learn to knit, my 
interests have also gone in other directions. Photography, art journaling,
and on again-off again writing a novel.

I had originally intended that this blog would be strictly for HP inspired
creations. I will still do projects in that vein. But I am also interested in 
now in hopefully honing my skills beyond the basic stitches, not that I want 
to get too crazy. I just would like to learn a few other simple stitches that
won't be too hard on my hands.

Since I've last posted here, I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and 
chronic pain for starters. I have some spinal issues going on too.
More recently I was diagnosed with POTS. 

As I try to focus a little more often on my crafty creations, I will hopefully
be posting on here more often as well.

I should have something to post as soon as my WIP is fresh off the hook.
