#その他 Crafters/Youtube videos that got me "hooked"

| #throwback and #holycowprogress right?! |
Get it? Nooooo wait! Don’t leave! I’ll stop with the puns, I promise! Anyway, in this post, I decided to switch things up a bit and talk more about crochet and share some of the awesome videos/links/artists that helped to shape me as a crocheter!! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but everything I’ve learned about crochet, I learned on the internet for free. Stitches, special techniques, patterns… you name it! Even though I’ve been crocheting since 2016, I still consider myself a novice and I continue to refer to these YouTube channels/blogs!
So... here are my absolutely favourite YouTube channels, blogs and artists with you today. Without them, I'd still be stuck trying to learn how to single crochet properly (probably hahaha).
To each of the creators that I mention below I just want to say... from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU :’).

All About Ami - Stephanie creates everything from scarves to cardigans, to amigurumi. Her tutorials are really in-depth and the pictures help to make even the trickiest details easy to understand. Don’t forget to follow her on Instagram!
Aphid777 on Deviant Art - Dude. Evelyn has some of the most amazing amigurumi I’ve ever seen. Looking through her portfolio, I can only aspire to have such an eye for crochet design! She has shared quite a few of her Pokemon patterns for free. Check out her DA and Instagram!
Sharon Ojala - She’s got a YouTube channel with super easy-to-follow tutorials, as well as a website, chock full of free patterns. Her video on the Magic Ring technique is the only reason why I can actually do one! Thanks to awesome people like Sharon, I was able to get into the craft in the first place!
Planet June - Planet June’s videos are a game-changer! I kid you not, I pull up "Amigurumi Seamless Join" before I sew any of my projects together. I think sewing is the area in which I’m the least confident when it comes to creating amigurumi. This video has improved my sewing game immensely. Thanks to “Ultimate Finish for Amigurumi,” my work no longer looks like it was put together by a 4-year-old (no offense to 4-year-olds, of course) .
HanDIY Tutorials - I was able to make my first successful Amigurumi creation thanks to this awesome blog & channel. I crocheted along with the YouTube tutorial for BB-8. I ended up gifting it to a good friend as a present! It was so uplifting and motivating, feeling like I could actually make something!
Is there a particular artist that you’ve come across on the internet (or in a book) that you’d love to shout-out? Let me know in the comments and I’ll be sure to check ‘em out.
Thanks for making it to the end! <3 As a prize, here is a photo of my first "successful" amigurumi piece, my first pattern design, and my current work in progress! Can you guess which is which???

I also want to give a shout-out to these artists as well. I love admiring their creations and each artist (including the ones mentioned above) serve as inspiration for me to keep on going!
