How to crochet Amigurumi with eyelash yarn - Fuzzy pop-eyed teddy
This is my first Amigurumi project with eyelash yarn and I want to share my experience about eyelash yarn crocheting here.
Crocheting Amigurumi with eyelash yarn is abit harder than normal. Due to the tight single crochet stitches, it is hard to see or count stitches and rounds under the "fur", so just make sure to mark them.
Besides, forming a magic ring with a strand of smooth yarn and a strand of eyelash yarn will make it hard or even stuck when you fasten off the ring. So it is much better to make chain 2 instead of magic ring, but that doesn't mean it is impossible with magic ring.
After several tries, I noticed that it's easier to form a magic ring with smooth yarn first then hold a strand of eyelash yarn together to crochet the stitches.

How to assemble Amigurumi - Sleeping Teddy
I remember the time when I started to make Amigurumi. Overstuffing the dolls is what I did before notice that overstuff then take out a little of fiberfill would get what I want.
Besides my effort to make the stitches tight enough, to prevent the stuffing from showing. The embroidering and assembling parts were quite a challenge to me. Untill I realized I should sketch " the face" before embroidering.
