Ami Pig Update and the importance of gauge

Published by raesmom at 7:05 pm under Amigurumi Edit This

So I frogged my first and second attempt at making an amigurumi pig. It was just way too big to be a cute, little pig. I’ve started a third one and so far I’m getting better results.

This one might actually be the four inches it’s suppose to be. I’m not seeing the importance of swatches and checking your gauge. I just like to jump in and do a project. But I’m spending way more time doing these simple ones because my gauge is all wrong. So lesson learned. I will be making swatches and checking my gauge before starting a project.

Hopefully I can finish up the pig tonight and then move on to my next project.
