Life is a lovely Ball of Yarn.
It has a beginning and an end, it runs along relaxed, mostly it is pleasantly cuddly, durable, colorful and you can never have enough of it. Sometimes life fluffs or it is tangled, then you untie the mess and crochet on. And sometimes you knot loose ends and the n you go on in a completely different color. And in the end, it's your love and time that makes it so precious.
If you’ve been anywhere near the amigurumi world lately, you’ve probably noticed it: chenille yarn is everywhere. Plush bunnies, squishy bears, chunky octopuses – all irresistibly soft and endlessly huggable. And honestly? I get the hype.
But as much as I admire the look and feel of chenille, I also think it’s worth taking a closer look at its pros and cons – and at the materials we choose for our handmade creations.
When I started my small handmade business selling amigurumi patterns and crochet kits over a decade ago, there was one thing above all else: joy. Deep, honest joy in creating something of my own and sharing it with others.
And yet it happened.
