Has anyone tried beads in with their crochet work? I didn’t realize how cool it was going to be and I am super excited at the possibilities. I am currently working on the octopus pattern by Crafty intentions and I just wanted to share with y’all! The possibilities are endless and I now have a use, besides jewelry, to use all the beads I picked up on clearance! What other things do you think I could use the beads for? I was thinking maybe if an amigurumi were spotted, instead of a color change, I could use beads? Run some ideas by me and let’s all try something new this year!
*Another note pony beads like this are pretty cheap, so that’s always a plus when your crafty!

It’s so pretty, I tried for the first time a couple days ago and I made a little hedgehog for my mom

oh, that sounds so cute! I might try that next. The one picture I saw where another girl did the octopus pattern I am working on, she used these lil beads that looked like flower buds and it was so cute! I have also seen star pony beads and that would be cool too! I am just excited, maybe the beading to amigurumi will be the next big thing? orrrr maybe I am just too excited for this new found idea

Crocheting with wire is hard on the hands. It even bent one of my hooks LOL
