"Crochet helps me combat anxiety. It lets me focus on the stitching instead of whatever noise is in my head. I can pull myself out of a funk every time I crochet."
Really enjoyed this interview Kathryn & Melissa - and totally agree at how calming crochet is too. I love to crochet huge colourful blankets, the project take me a long time but I love having a project to always work on in the background. Seeing my kids wrapped up in my crochet blanket brings me so much joy. Currently working on my Christmas Gingerbread blanket that was due to be finished last Dec...luckily it wasn't a present! Would like to learn amugurumi too. Would also love to connect with fellow crocheters too! X
That sounds fab! I will try my best to follow a pattern, I usually follow a pattern with quite a lot of pictures or a video too - but I'd like to give your pattern a go. Thank you Melissa for this kind offer ❤️
So, unfortunately I’m having a big tendinitis flare in both my arms so I didn’t get a chance to write out the pattern with pictures. However, I do have the pattern for the bit, just without step by step pictures. Would you like that to try out? You can always ask me questions if you have any!

I know amigurumi! I can help! I actually started creating my own amigurumi patters!
I'd love to give it a try, a very easy one to start with!
What about a bird/owl? I can give you my pattern and you can be my pattern tester while you also learn amigurumi 🥰

If you don’t mind waiting until the weekend, I can take pictures too!
Love this exchange!!
That'd be wonderful, you are so kind Melissa, thank you!

Oh no, sorry you haven't been feeling well Melissa, hope the pain eases soon for you. That would be lovely, thank you, I'll give it a go! X
