Hi
I am enjoying your newsletter and all of your patterns. Just encase you do not have enough to do (smile), I have a suggestion. Do you know how to make expressive eyes for toys and dolls? I make these for a charity and have trouble with the eyes, they are either bulky or scary, too big or too small. thanks
Hey Beth, I never made really expressive eyes before, but I will see what I can do
Hello,
I love the neck warmer I think it’s super creative! I was wondering did the medium weight yarn mean that you used worsted weight yarn????
Hey Jarriel!
Yup, worst weight yarn is medium weight yarn
It confuses me sometimes too, here’s a yarn table that can explains it in more detail: http://www.crochetspot.com/types-of-yarn-and-recommended-crochet-hooks-and-gauges/
