Spooky Hot Air Balloon Amigurumi Pattern

The pattern is available on Ravelry and on Etsy.

This is kind of Halloween-y, right? Anyway, this guy comes with a loop for hanging and little items can be put in the basket. You could probably easily modify this to just be a regular Drifloon as well; I might have to do that later.

btw I’ve found these stretches from the WAK blog very helpful when knitting a lot:

Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!

especially with gift knitting I know it can be tempting to push through it for a deadline, but it’s really not worth causing long term injury. (And anyone knit-worthy should be understanding of that, imho.) Stay well :)

I started to learn crocheting with the pokémon amigurumi patterns from @53stitches

I second using ravelry

hiya again trainers, lisia here (for the second time today) and i'm using this account's reach for evil because it's admittedly convenient lol!

so i'm looking to get into plushie / amigurumi crocheting and am mainly interested in pokémon patterns, does anyone here have any creators or resources they'd like to share? sharing through comments or asks is both fine.

in the end i wanna show pics of the things i make here... i found a pretty easy-seeming lotad design and have two books on amigurumi making, but i think i'll need all the help i can get LOL. thanks in advance!! (≧∇≦)b -lisia

I present to you The Flower Jacket! As always, it took longer than expected... If it ever cools down again in the evening, I'm definitely well prepared now.

Do you want your own Stardew Valley themed denim jacket? Send a message, I'm open for commissions. Or check out my etsy or free patreon patterns and make your own!

Things I wish I had read in "beginner" sewing tutorials/people had told me before I started getting into sewing

You have to hem *everything* eventually. Hemming isn't optional. (If you don't hem your cloth, it will start to fray. There are exceptions to this, like felt, but most cloth will.)

The type of cloth you choose for your project matters very much. Your clothing won't "fall right" if it's not the kind of stretchy/heavy/stiff as the one the tutorial assumes you will use.

Some types of cloth are very chill about fraying, some are very much not. Linen doesn't really give a fuck as long as you don't, like, throw it into the washing machine unhemmed (see below), whereas brocade yearns for entropy so, so much.

On that note: if you get new cloth: 1. hem its borders (or use a ripple stitch) 2. throw it in the washing machine on the setting that you plan to wash it going forward 3. iron it. You'll regret it, if you don't do it. If you don't hem, it'll thread. If you don't wash beforehand, the finished piece might warp in the first wash. If you don't iron it, it won't be nice and flat and all of your measuring and sewing will be off.

Sewing's first virtue is diligence, followed closely by patience. Measure three times before cutting. Check the symmetry every once in a while. If you can't concentrate anymore, stop. Yes, even if you're almost done.

The order in which you sew your garment's parts matters very much. Stick to the plan, but think ahead.

You'll probably be fine if you sew something on wrong - you can undo it with a seam ripper (get a seam ripper, they're cheap!)

You can use chalk to draw and write on the cloth.

Pick something made out of rectangles for your first project.

I recommend making something out of linen as a beginner project. It's nearly indestructible, barely threads and folds very neatly.

Collars are going to suck.

The sewing machine can't hurt you (probably). There is a guard for a reason and while the needle is very scary at first, if you do it right, your hands will be away from it at least 5 cm at any given time. Also the spoils of learning machine sewing are not to be underestimated. You will be SO fast.

I believe that's all - feel free to add unto it.
