“Littleyarnfriends” joins the Crochet Community!

Welcoming a New Author to We-Love-Crocheting Family!

Hello fellow lovely people, I’m Rachel (the girl behind littleyarnfriends). I live in a sunny island called Singapore aka the little red dot in the world map. I’m pretty new to crocheting as compared to many of you who have been doing this for years. I only discovered the lovely art of “Crocheting” last September 2011. From then on, I’m hooked to this amazing hobby. I called the “Crochet hook” my Magic Wand because it transforms simple ball of yarn to cute little yarn friends! (Also known as Amigurumi) 

I started “littleyarnfriends” Tumblr Blog and Facebook Page early April this year with a simple goal in mind: to share the love for crafts and to bless others in one way or another. Never have I thought that anyone will actually read my blog posts or try out my free patterns. It has only been 3 months through my craft journey and I’m really really glad that I’ve made so many new friends who are really lovely, supportive and share a common interest in this art. I’ve also met so many amazing crochet artists who are such talented and friendly people. One of them is Josephine (the lovely creator of this amazing crochet tumblr community and amorningcupofjo) who have inspired me so much! I just want to thank her for giving me this wonderful opportunity to be an author for we-love-crocheting community. It’s such an honor and I can’t wait to share, learn and grow with this huge family! 

Here are some of my little creations. You can read more about them and also get the free-patterns of my little friends.

What did you think of our 15-Day Challenge???

Thanks so much for contributing all of your questions/challenges to create this event, and thank you to everyone who participated! :D  I hope you had fun completing the challenges, and more important, I hope you got the chance to meet other crochet lovers and learn more about them. 

Like I’ve said before,  I started this Tumblr because I really wanted to create a place where we could all meet each other, support each other, and generally share our love for this craft.  I pitched the idea of the 15-Day Challenge as a way for bloggers to start interacting within our community, and I hope that goal has been achieved.  :)

.

If you have a moment, I’d love to hear your feedback (good or bad) regarding any of the following questions:

1. What did you think of the 15-Day experience?  Did anyone complete the whole 15 days consecutively? :P  (I totally failed)

2. How could it be improved if we do this again in the future?

3. Did you look at each post’s notes before/after to see how other crocheters completed the challenge?  

4. Did you check out others’ blogs and meet new crocheters because of this event?

5. How could we encourage more interaction between community members in the future? (One way: I’ll be featuring crocheters who posted photos on Day 1 of our challenge as a way to link names with faces, so I hope you’ll say hi to those who are featured! :P)

Feel free to answer below this post or in my ask box. 


Thanks again for being a part of the 15-Day Challenge and for being a part of this blog! <3

kirstyandstuff: What am I doing wrong?

Submitted by kirstyandstuff: Okay so, I’m hoping some of you guys can help me xD I’m making baby booties; the pattern has a straight seam going up the side where the rounds are joined. My seam veers off though, and I keep finding that although I’ve finished the round in terms of how many stitches there -should- be, I still have stitches left to crochet into before I reach the start of the round. (So I’ve added stitches somehow, but the round before was fine, and I havent inc’d or anything…) Help? What am I doing wrong? D:

Video: How to crochet a simple 2D heart

Submitted by postthesmiles: this is the best video to teach beginners how to make a heart. SO EASY!

Let’s get this crochet party started! :)

HELLO EVERYONE!

Welcome, and thank you for joining me! :)  My goal for  we-love-crocheting.tumblr.com  is to be very community-focused.  It’s not going to be all about me, my experiences, and my finds.  I really just wanted to create a place where we could all meet each other, support each other (since I KNOW many of us need that extra push to finally finish our projects… at least I do), and generally share our love for this craft.  This blog is not just mine, it’s OURS!

PLEASE BE SUBMISSION-HAPPY (a.k.a. please share lots of content with us)!  Photos, tips, advice, WIPs, questions, videos, stories, patterns, tutorials, anything.  Whether it’s something you’ve created yourself, or something you just really admire, all content related to crochet is welcome here! 

Maybe I shouldn’t say “all content is welcome.” You can read Submission Guidelines to learn more about that.

**ALL POSTS WILL BE TAGGED with “we-love-crocheting” so that you can easily search for us on your dashboard**

MOST IMPORTANT:

Don’t forget to say “like,” comment, reblog post, and say hi to other crocheters (and follow them if you like their Tumblrs!)!!!  The more interaction going on, the better.  

Crocheting brings many people together (crocheting in public is practically an instant best-friend-maker, right?!), and I hope that we’ll all get to share our love for this craft in the years to come.  Let’s make this blogging experience really fun, and let’s be proud of the fact that…

<3 Josephine

To get the yarn ball rolling, I have a question for you!

Will you please say hi and introduce yourself to our crocheting community (submit a post if there’s not enough space!!!)???
