So I'm actually really impressed by how good your ami's look using side b stitches because I just can't replicate the look. :)<br /><br />Those buns are ADORABLE! Did you ever share their pattern?Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6943522341667130702.post-32406120888150187862011-04-21T18:06:02.010-04:002011-04-21T18:06:02.010-04:00wow, lisa you've done so much research! thanks...wow, lisa you've done so much research! thanks so much for sharing it all! i taught myself using the internet and library books too. when i first started, i would crochet "wrong" side out then turn my work inside out to make it look like the pattern photos. the only problem was that sometimes it would stretch out and distort the piece. though i'm sure i'm the only person who would ever be able to tell :P<br /><br />i've tried making amis using the turning method but i found it really confusing since i'm so used to crocheting in the round!<br /><br />and the inner child crochet website looks like such a great resource... i can't wait to browse through it!youngmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995792522167929719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6943522341667130702.post-83568269515727553802011-04-21T13:41:30.556-04:002011-04-21T13:41:30.556-04:00I was just googling this very thing yesterday!! W...I was just googling this very thing yesterday!! When I first starting crocheting, I was sooooo confused. I taught myself from a book and online tutorials.<br /><br />Now that I've been crocheting for a little longer than a year, I decided to research the issue again. My amis have all been "right" side out, which seems to be the most common.<br /><br />Here is a list of the best resources I found--I'm sure the links won't work correctly in this comment box, but I still wanted to share:<br /><br />Crochet – Wrong Side vs. Right Side<br /><br />Planet June: http://www.planetjune.com/blog/which-is-the-right-side/<br />This is my go-to place for ami help! This is where I got the advise to wait a few rows and then turn my work so the "right" side faces outward. This is how I crochet--along the outside edge with the "right" side out. Being right handed, that means I crochet clock-wise.<br /><br />Nerdigurumi: http://nerdigurumi.com/2010/04/comparing-amigurumi-techniques.html<br />Nice little video illustrating the difference between right, wrong side as well as back loop only.<br /><br />Roxycraft: http://tamiesnow.typepad.com/roxycraft/2009/05/amigurumi-lessons-which-is-the-right-side.html<br />I'm including this one only because it amuses me that she is soooo opinionated about the "wrong" side being ugly.<br /><br />InnerChildCrochet (also shows flat crochet): http://www.innerchildcrochet.com/resources/how_to_design/working_in_the_round.html<br />I like this one because it also shows flat crochet. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why my crochet looked so different from the book I was using--well, it was because I am working in the round and the book was showing regular crochet where you turn your work. I can't believe how long it took me to figure it out!<br /><br />Other links that weigh in on the topic:<br /><br />All About Ami: http://allaboutami.tumblr.com/post/4162866740/rightside<br /><br />BerrySprite: http://berrysprite.blogspot.com/2009/03/amigurumi-craft-series-3-turning.html<br /><br />I find it interesting that some crochet with the "right" side facing inward, and don't turn their work until the very end.<br /><br />Thanks for your post. I'll add a link to it in my list :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478055779609330831noreply@blogger.com
