Friendly reminder that when you start learning any fiber arts craft, you will suck at it for the first few attempts. And then you may run into a moment where you’re going to say “fuck it all, this is too hard, why do I even bother with this shit?”
Thank God for my husband who still kept these photos back in 2011 of my first poor attempts in crocheting amigurumi. I honestly had no clue what I was making. Did I crocheted pretty poop dolls? At least that’s what my mind thinks of it.
I guess these two were the closest semblance of ilomilo because I loved that game with a passion.
Did I forget to mention that in my earlier creations, I needle felted most parts of the body because I wasn’t confident in doing color switches and embroidery work on it?
Looking at it now, I’m still amazed that I managed to complete these amigurumi without a pattern. And moreover, I’m glad my husband didn’t delete these photos from his ancient iPod Touch.
