Quick Update

Sorry I haven't been active lately! I have been really busy. I have been busy with crochet projects and my friends.

The main crochet project I am working on right now is a monkey. I will put the web address at the bottom. It is a fairly easy pattern. I am also making a simple scarf and a granny square blanket.

I really enjoy amigurumi but the one thing that bothers me is that some amigurumi projects require so much sewing (sewing the pieces together or on the body).

What is your favorite crochet project?

Decisions! Decisions!

I finished my amigurumi elephant the other day. Now, I need to decide on my next project!! I am working on two VERY simple scarves of my own design. One scarf is single stitch and the other is double stitch and both are less than halfway complete. I am also about to make an octopus (from my own pattern that I still need to test) for my friend's birthday next week. I need to get started on that! My favorite types of projects are amigurumi. :)

These are just some random questions that I was curious about. Answer in a comment! :)
Do you guys have any projects that you're working on? Do you make you're own patterns? What is your favorite type of project to make?
