my creative space - sc, sc, sc,
Reasons why I don't loooooove amigurumi:
1. I find seemingly never-ending rounds or rows of single crochet boring.
2. There's too much fiddly stitching involved.
3. There's no smooth, flowing crochet involved.
4. Most of the time I can't do something else at the same time.
5. It takes me too long to complete even a small project because of the above!
But still,
I gave it a go.
Then I lost my weaving-in needle. So I have to wait until I go home (I've been staying at my parents') to finish this off!
In the meantime,
It's becoming a bit of jungle!

In the meantime,
- I got stuck into something more autumnal
- enjoyed early morning sunlight
- fed my bottle love
- went out walking in my parents, oh-so-quiet compound

I totally agree with you about all of the above reasons for not being a huge fan of amigurumi. But, your turtle is incredibly cute! I always love the end result, if only it didn't take so so so long!
Lovely crochet, I don't mind doing sc I get stuck on the doily patterns :-) What is the celebration of eid for? Have a great weekend :-)
I love your loungeroom- its so simple!
I also dont like amigurumi, I think its because I'm more lace-based, but I think its nice when other people make it lol. I really like that turtle, its so cute. Did you go to hajj this year? if you did Allah yet'abbal minkom :)
Silver, thank you so much. Yes, I wish it was quicker to finish too!
Jenni, your amigurumi is lovely! Regarding Eid, my friend has posted a little video all about it here:

I hope that helps.
CCC, thank you! I didn't got for Hajj. Had a quiet Eid with most of my family away! That living room is actually my Mum and Dad's. I love the light in that room.
I don't do amigurumi for all of your reasons ... but your turtle looks fantastic!! Love the autumnal crochet .. what is it going to be?
Looks like I'm the odd one out. I love amigurumi. I've made loads and loads of them in all shapes and sizes. I've got a brilliant book by Elisabeth A Doherty and I've just started tweaking some of the patterns to make Santa's
Thanks Fiona. It's going to be a scarf or a shawl depending on my blocking skills! :)
