Wasn’t planning on it, but I made a mug cozy tonight

That's the coziest looking mug cozy I have ever seen! Nice work

This is why I’m scared to try arigurumi lol, every time I do it I got so frustrated lol. I like to be able to peacefully crochet while watching something but I’ll have to learn eventually I suppose. I do knit a bit, after a few projects it’s not as bad, but some of the tutorials online make learning how HORRIBLE

Trust me. When you get the hang of it (and yes it's more complicated than just straight stitching and repeating the same pattern) you'll get addicted. I think I made 7 or 8 plushies on the first day I started back crocheting after forgetting about it for a few months. The next day I already had a huge pile of little stuffies.

Wow. Do you write your own patterns? This looks so cool!

I usually follow patterns or down load a free graph, with no directions, from a website. I dislike embroidery, I will change the pattern and do color changes instead. I will also change patterns if the work gets too boring. This afghan was to be all chevron, I got bored and put a graphic in the middle.

How do you do you color changes? I find it incredibly frustrating that I have to cut and knot the yarn every time I switch or It will come loose.
