Do you like using self-striping or variegated yarn Do you like using self-striping or variegated yarns with amigurumi? I usually don’t but when I made these butterflies I thought a self-striping yarn would be so fun to create the colourful wings. 😊🦋 . Of course, you could use solid colours for a more coordinated look as well, but the unexpected blocks of colour with striping yarn is a fun surprise during the making process. I used Caron Cotton Cakes for the wings (love that yarn! 😍). .

Edit: Now Closed! *Giveaway*! . You guys, today is Edit: Now Closed! *Giveaway*! . You guys, today is the 3-Year Blogaversary of this little blog of mine! (😲) Thank you all so much for hanging out and making cute things with me for the last 3 years! 💕 You all are truly the best. . In honour of it being a blogaversary, I’m giving away an indispensable blog tool: a light reflector! Anyone who runs their own blog (or if you’re thinking about starting one!) be sure to enter! . This 5-in-1 reflector is seriously a must for taking great photos, especially when the lighting is not quite perfect. I use the translucent one most myself, to help diffuse direct sunlight for perfectly lit photos. Swipe 👆🏻 to check out the other options and to see a little time lapse of how it opens/packs away! The one in the video is my personal reflector, which is a little bigger than the one in the giveaway but will give you an idea. . I obviously couldn’t have a blogaversary giveaway without throwing in a couple of skeins of yarn! The winner will also get 2 skeins of @briggslittle Tuffy wool in Rosewood. . To Enter: 1. Follow me! @spinayarncrochet 2. Tag a friend! Tag as many as you want but please be sure to tag in a separate comment for your entries to count. . Giveaway closes tomorrow at 8pm EST. It’s open worldwide. Good luck! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #spinayarncrochet
