DIY Crochet Hook Comfort Grip
I have started to crochet at the age of 10, and with amigurumi which requires tight tension to make really nice dolls, I have been suffering from painful blisters forever, since I am making dolls with my favorite Tulip brand crochet hook literally everyday.
I can’t take it anymore, and I am not giving up my crochet hook, and I am definitely loving doll-making, so I have been ‘forced’ to think of alternative to cure the problem. Here, I have a tip for you, who are using similar crochet hook, or any hook that requires additional comfort to the grip. Trust me, I completely feel your pain.

Small tips for safety eyes installation
I used to be designing and making amigurumi dolls with sew-on craft eyes, now that I have switched from the sew-on eyes (which are very inconsistent in supplies at the store) to the present safety eyes, it changes the way I work on dolls. I am most pleased to share with you this small tips which is blogged under title Small tips for safety eyes installation.
This is what I have gathered along the way of doll making. I have made over 150 doll using this method, although it’s not the best option to wash the dolls that are fixed with metal washer, but I have done it many times before and they are still looking good. (Do it at your own risks eh)
Amigurumi care (tried and tested)
By now, I have more than 30-ish designs of amigurumi dolls, and with the increasing numbers of dolls I made for my husband overtime, I needed an effective cleaning method to keep the little critters looking as new and fresh as they were meant to be. With this in mind, I am sharing what I have tried and tested, and proved to be effective for me. Read up the detailed step-by-step instruction in our Unofficial Amigurumi Care Instruction.
