What are the types of projects all of you work on the most? Do you switch between types?
I have realized that I often go through phases of wanting to work on one type of project, then putting those on hold to work on a different type. For example, I’ll be making clothing type projects, then amigurumi, then maybe switch to bags or coasters. I was curious if anyone else goes through something similar, or if they focus more on one type like amigurumi, clothes, or blankets?
My grandma taught me normal “flat crochet” lol? Like for scarves and stuff. But i really only make amigurumi now, so all i taught myself was a mr cause she never new how to do it
Gotta switch project types when my hands start hurting. Amigurmi, garments and blankets for example all tend to have a different tension and movement to them, so it helps to switch it up. It also helps to use different yarn weights.
Thank you! I really enjoy mixing it up a lot and dabbling in as many types of projects as possible, but I can see the appeal of having a certain type of project(s) to stick to
I normally stck to amigurumi and cute things like bucket hats, but I just mainly do stuff for gifts so its easy to ask someone what their favorite animal is then make it for them
That’s interesting. I’ve always had the most interest in seeing and trying clothing projects but I can see why amigurumi would be your go-to to post. So many people seem to flock to it because they can be very cute!
That’s so nice! I make a lot for friends and family too. My boyfriend has a lot of small amigurumi scattered throughout the other decorations in his room
That makes sense. I’ve had times where I’ve had to switch projects because the yarn and hook were too small or too big and my hands started to cramp. Even though I get small hooks with bigger handles, the tiny projects just get too much.
That’s so nice! Christmas is always crazy for me because I’ll make a lot of presents for family and friends and it takes forever. It’s nice that you’ll give them the ability to pick whatever they want as gifts!
It is similar to what I do: I usually start working on one piece but even before I finish it I want to start another project and so I always switch between coasters, bags, keychains and amigurumi and even a vest once
