Sunday Funday, Cute critters!

in #crochet7 years ago (edited)

Good afternoon! Happy Sunday! So I posted earlier in the week showing some of the crochet items I’ve been working on, I thought I’d show some of the items I’ve made using a new technique I learned not to long ago!

It is called Amigurumi crochet...

May the force be with you.

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed dolls, animals or creatures with yarn. The word is a mixture of the two Japanese words , ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.

Making these “usually” small fugues is quite tedious & takes time. It is crocheted using the same basic stitches as we do for the common crochet , only it’s smaller, tighter & u use a lot more of those little stitches to create them.

These are so cute! How long does it take you to make one of these little cuties?

These little guys took me a couple 2-3 days.. cause they are so little.. and because I can’t just sit around all day crocheting, as much as I’d like to do , I must feed my kids.. lol if I just sat down & was able to do it without stopping I could make one in a day😉 but I’ve been crocheting for a few years!

Adorable. You have an amazing gift. As you get more and more made maybe good idea to set something up to sell some of your art pieces. : )

I’ve sold quite a few items over the years... and I’ll be the first to say it.. it’s not cheap! But what people don’t understand is they talk a lot of time!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Those are so cute! So talented!! Love the pokemon ones:)

Thank you! Yes my kids were little Pokémon freaks when they were little! Lol when it first came out in the 90’s!

Same with my oldest 2!! I showed my youngest this and she is now going to learn to crochet apparently haha! You blew her mind!

Haha that’s awesome! It’s so fun!! Great for cold winter days when u get bored ! I’m gonna make some newborn hats today for the hospital NICU😁 it’s freezing outside right now! Not going out!! Keep warm & stay safe!!

Ps. There are great videos on you tube for beginners to learn crochet!!

Super cute! Im sure people would buy them with steem if you are selling them :)

Thank you ! I make all kinds of stuff .. I’ll be making more posts ! selling for Steem is a great Idea , I had not thought of that! 😉

Let me know if u decide to do that and i will set u up with a person on steem that promotes businesses on steemit that take steem as payment! ;)
They will fly off the shelves once u get more popular on steemit so i would suggest stocking up now while ur still rather new to steemit and building ur following and reputation ;)
Good luck

I deffinatly will! Thank you again!

This is so cool!! 😍😍

Thank you!

Oh man. My brother would love the Star Wars ones. I think he actually tried at one point to do some and gave up because he didn't know how to crochet. All of these are pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'm loving your blog. :)

😁 thanks for coming to take a Look! Can’t wait to do more posts!
