Welcome to the world of crochet :) Although I'm just a beginner myself, I'm totally hooked playing around with a yarn ball and a hook to make things with crochet. Can't wait to see your amigurumi soon!<br /><br />From your Japanese crafty friend from California :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760376917202401901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18669723.post-85800420794329363062012-02-03T22:05:05.061+08:002012-02-03T22:05:05.061+08:00Sandra, here we don't have any equivalent to s...Sandra, here we don't have any equivalent to single crochet. You can easily spot the difference between sc and dc if there is a photo along with your pattern. Not too much drama for me yet as I have only learned a few stitches and probably won't be using any of the taller stitches.<br />Conversion chart: http://www.nezumiworld.com/crochet_006.htm<br />Yarns are also different here, nobody has heard of "worstead", and we don't use letters for our hook sizes. <br /><br />Crocheting is kind of like getting used to different currencies when you go on an exotic holiday!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421075765862239164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18669723.post-53106225700726983912012-02-03T07:13:08.789+08:002012-02-03T07:13:08.789+08:00Hey Lisa!

Nice to see you :-)<br />I have made an account on Ravelry and I'll look out for you there.<br /><br />I ordered the Amigurumi World books last week and can't wait to get them. PlanetJune has been very helpful.<br /><br />I'm enjoying my crochet journey greatly!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421075765862239164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18669723.post-49936703656208107252012-02-03T00:50:26.773+08:002012-02-03T00:50:26.773+08:00I'm looking forward to following your journey ...I'm looking forward to following your journey into amigurumi and crochet! I taught myself to crochet from library books awhile back just so I could make cute things. I still have trouble with all but the simplest patterns, but it is so much fun. I've checked the book out from the library that you have, though I haven't made anything from it. For me, patterns from Amigurumi World have been the easiest to follow. I also love Ravelry--do you have an account there? I also love Planet June as well! I'm looking forward to your future posts! <br /><br />PS I am sunnyblueskies on swap-bot :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478055779609330831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18669723.post-5821416359629271392012-02-02T20:34:10.114+08:002012-02-02T20:34:10.114+08:00Ooops - see how confusing I find the terminology? ...Ooops - see how confusing I find the terminology? I got the double and single crochets around the wrong way! Your single is our double - we don't have single crochet.<br /><br />I'm doing a little bit of crochet every day and I think I'm improving. I'm certainly getting more relaxed, but I'm not sure if I've found the best way to hold my yarn. I will keep experimenting.<br /><br />Thanks Sandra :-)Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421075765862239164noreply@blogger.com
