Next time I wind up a ball of that kind of yarn, I'll post a picture for you.<br /><br />#2, You have to just let go a bit. There is no way you're going to get the pattern exactly with eyelash yarn and amigurumi -- it's just impossible to see. The trick is to go more for the feel of the shape and increase/decrease as you need it -- rather than exactly as the pattern says.<br /><br />Again, I'll try to get some pics for you next time I work with the eyelash yarn so you can have a better idea!KCFitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04907513801465812861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633169369664089804.post-46458544400584144672010-11-28T07:46:43.913-05:002010-11-28T07:46:43.913-05:00Oh my gosh they are cute!

I'd like to ask you a question about making them, if you don't mind. How do you deal with furry yarns while crocheting? I'd love to use them in my crochet, but I can't see where to put the hook and I get everything so tangled I can't even frog it. Is there a trick to these yarns?Hoozieghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642952613175787944noreply@blogger.com
