@xvz: the yarn is Bernat super bulky “baby blanket” yarn. But they expanded the line to be “blanket” not just for baby and it comes it a ton of colors now. It’s like my favorite yarn! XD
I looked up a pattern for a perfect circle (sphere I guess) and just made up what I was doing as I went.

Vengeance is always busy since they joined staff :3

@lina: ooh good to know thanks for the info!!! blanket yarn ! i wrote it down, next time i'm at the craft store i'll be on the lookout :-D
i made an apple the other day but still have to assemble it... but i was thinking of how the yarn itself i have isn't super soft so the result isn't super soft :0 so i'd love to get more soft/fluffy yarn to make soft and fluffy plushies w ^0^
i'm still trying to get a sense of how much polyfill to use too!! i don't want to over stuff but i don't want to understuff either ... !

ohh so is it two spheres you attach together?? what do u use for the eyes? ^^

I like sturdier yarn that’s less soft for things like home decor, like the pumpkins I made. I guess I imagine I’ll keep it forever and fluffy yarn won’t last as long. But I don’t know if that’s fact or just in my head. XD

It’s 2 spheres that I didn’t close all the way and then “sewed” together with the yarn. The neck was a little funny looking, so I added a scarf. And the eyes are safety eyes, which are usually in the doll section in craft stores. They have a front and back that snap together. There’s usually some small animal noses too. :3

oohh i never considered that! i guess you pick up more and more with experience / like better intuition for what kinds of yarns work for different contexts :0
i feel like the more i've crocheted (which honestly is still not that much) the better i understand like, how it works haha
like how different patterns end up w diff shapes... the 3d stuff takes some thinking though lol
i think it helped a lot that i've sewn and knitted in the past, otherwise i feel like crochet would have been super hard to learn for me!

ahh i see! haha love to find cute/clever ways to hide wonkiness :3 the winter accessories make it even cuter imo
that's good to know, i've added it to my craft store list i'll look out for them!! :3

@xvz: I think crochet is great because once you learn to do something, like a sphere, it’s always the same. So after you get enough experience you can start to make your own patterns.

heehee it totally cheers me up to look at and squish!!! i used to have kind of a cluttered coffee table but i did some reorganizing + moved a cart nearby to use a storage - so now everything else is cleared off but i kept the crochet produce on so i can keep looking at and playing w it :-D
i just have 3 carrots and an apple so far but when i'm in a crochet mood again next i think the list will be: mushrooms, oranges ... broccoli/cauliflower ... ??

i wanna try a cute long tube snake too! but i wanna get some cute ombre yarn for it first ^0^

@xvz: I think it's absolutely amazing! It feels like a warm and welcoming place I'd love to go.
I think it's the perfect size the way it is, for the fist post. It can just fill the page with warmth.

I could put the thread title on it... but it would ruin how pretty it is. OuO

But, how about a link button... :3

@xvz: it’s so completely perfect.
The whole feel and aesthetic are exactly what I would want, if only I could have put it in words.
It’s really just so amazing!

It just... feels like home
