Also I am making a pattern from the book Kyuto Japanese Crafts Amigurumi & trying to make the furry bunny but am stuck on the ears.... (I know - basic & I can't get it) - any advice you could offer would be great. Nicole Hi June,

I am a brand newbie to amigurumi & I am really confused about which way is the right side & which way is the wrong… can you shed any light on this for me? Also I am making a pattern from the book Kyuto Japanese Crafts Amigurumi & trying to make the furry bunny but am stuck on the ears…. (I know - basic & I can’t get it) - any advice you could offer would be great.

My problem is knowing where to place the pieces/parts. I made a reindeer (sorry, someone else's pattern I think) and can't get his legs, antlers, ears, etc., in the best places. It would be so helpful if patterns could tell you to "mark this spot" for the different parts. Also, I was wondering, do the plastic pellets in the bottom of the legs help the cutie to stand up better? Great tutorial, June! My problem is knowing where to place the pieces/parts.

But I run into a problem at the end. I've just been doing a stitch and then making a knot through it, then sort of tucking the rest of the long piece of thread into the inside of the piece. Is that crazy talk? This is a great tutorial, and makes me happy to see I’ve been basically doing it correctly, if a little messy. But I run into a problem at the end.

I've been getting into all sorts of pickles trying to join my little friends together. You've made some lovely things and well done for mastering left-handed crochet, It looks so confusing!

It's not a lot more work (except more ends to fasten off and weave in) and the end result is much better if you match the yarn colours. Suzi, it’s not a silly question :)

On your dog at the bottom pic, did you join everything with one colour or other? Thanks I am still just a beginner! you have such beautiful patterns.
