Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Lunar New Year!
I just finished crocheting this lion dance amigurumi doll using the free lion dollie pattern from Yarn It Darn It. I used cotone latte yarns from Oh My Yarn and a 4mm hook.
Crochet allows me to meditate and reflect on the events that transpired in my life. The pandemic has exposed to me who my real friends and family are. Crochet has been my meditative process of choice to weigh decisions and discern life choices. When it comes to trusting people, I make sure to tabulate the pros and cons of each individual. Crochet helps me think deeper and therefore, decide better who to trust and who to be wary of.
This is why it is only fitting that I welcome the Year of the Ox with an adorable lion dance amigurumi which has enabled me to reflect while crocheting it. I hope that you also have a process of thinking things through.
Have a prosperous year ahead, everyone!
