I'm glad they've introduced the Amigurumi competition. Now this little guy doesn't have to compete with tablecloths.
This is the first time an Amigurumi of mine has even placed.
Speaking of tablecloths, I finally made this. The convolvulus Supper Cloth (designed by Mary Card).
The edge is a huge amount of filet crochet (around three months.) Then it took about a week to get the fabric centre fitted. Of course I was rushing to do everything before it was due. Did you know that you can get blisters from hand sewing?
It's all worth it in the end. Apart from finally crossing this off my craft-to-do list, I also have another blue ribbon.
The doiley took a lot less time to make, but was probably more annoying. So many long chain loops and stitches into chains. I got lost more than once.
Worse when I finally pinned it out for blocking, I found two mistakes. One was fixable but only by cutting out a section and crocheting in a patch. The other is small enough that I got away with it.
It won first place in the Doiley Class and Best Exhibit Crochet.
For those of you counting that's three years in a row for Best Crochet.
(That is the same prize, I don't know why the ribbons are all so different.)
One step closer to world domination.
