Amigurumi and Fair Isle crochet – the latest ideas
Amigurumi and Fair Isle crocheting have been two crochet techniques I have enjoyed working on for about the last month. I made a 3-dimensional squid in a hat (with a moustache); It reminds me of Thomson and Thompson. Except there’s only one squid, so…..just Thomson then.
