Let’s get this out of the way first: I was given a copy of this book to review. But I’m not being compensated for this review in any other way, and the following is based on my honest opinions! Crochet for Bears to Wear: More Than 20 Perfect Projects for Your Favorite Teddies and Friends […]
A quick aside first: have you noticed I’ve made a favicon for PlanetJune? It was a challenge coming up with something recognisable at such a small size, so I just made a little bear in my site colours: I think it’s cute! I hope it’ll help people to spot PlanetJune in the vast sea of […]
Would you prefer to see the video tutorial demonstrating this method? If not, read on: I’ve written before about how there are several ways you can finish off a closed piece in amigurumi, and there’s no one ‘best’ method for closing that remaining hole to give the neatest finish.
