ReplyDeleteDefinitely amigurumi! I love thinking how all the little ball and teardrop shapes can connect together to make a new character. But having said that, pretty much anything that I'm working on with a crochet hook and yarn is my favorite. I've been crocheting for almost 50 years, and I seldom am without a hook in my hand.

ReplyDeleteI've just started crocheting and so far love making baby blankets. I'm looking forward to learning a lot more though.
ReplyDeleteI love it all! In my 60-umm years crocheting, I've done a little bit of everything from dainty doilies with thread and teeny tiny hooks to shawls, scarves, hats, gloves and clothing with everything from laceweight to bulky, and baskets and more with heavy twine and huge hooks. Give me a hook and fiber to play with and I'm a very happy camper. : )
ReplyDeleteI love to try new patterns. I think my favorite so far is the pair of baby sandals I made. The pattern was in Russian so I pretty much had to go by the picture lol. I'm really proud of those sandals!

ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter what I'm crocheting. As long as I know the recipient appreciates the item I'm crocheting then I'll love making it.
ReplyDeleteBaby clothes and stuffies are what I make most often, but I'm not sure I have a "favorite"..too hard to choose (please disregard this if my other comments come through, it wasn't registering on my end, I don't want you to think I'm trying to enter more than once)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 20 years! I think my favorite thing to crochet is probably scarves. They can be simple or complex and can usually be finished pretty quickly! Perfect for my short attention span. :)
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet squares. There's such a huge variety, I can finish them in one sitting, and I love finding ways to put them together.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to crochet is an afghan. Having someone I loved wrapped up in and warmed by something I made with love is almost like my love keeping them warm and secure.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to crochet is whatever I’m working on at the moment!

ReplyDeleteCrochet just relaxes me. My sister meditates regularly, I crochet and let everything else just drift away.
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet any pattern that doesn't require constant attention to a written pattern. Something that becomes an almost automatic motion. Relaxing.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to crochet is anything for my daughter. Right now, I'm making her a pink dinosaur. She already has 2 blankets, a mini pocketbook (wagon wheel square), basket to hold her toys and slippers.
ReplyDeleteGrace Gardiner Aquila In love with crocheting, always looking for new stitches and tips. CGOA, a great group of passionate people also in love with the art!!! It would be next to impossible to narrow it down to one thing, in love with my hooks and my stash!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crochet project is "a crochet project" any and all! I love making my crochet projects as gifts for others! Each stitch is a little piece of my love for this art. I always put my heart in everything I do, every piece I create!
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet blankets, hats and toys. Here's an example, in my Etsy shop, of the type of blanket I love best. I believe the pattern is called "Gothic Windows" or something to that effect. It has a zig-zag pattern on the front and horizontal stripes on the back. People are always amazed when they see it and ask me how I did it.
