Waching daily Aug 5 2018

Hi, I'm Magda from Ami Little Creature

In part 3 I crochet arms and attach them to the body using plastic joints.

I also sew the head to the body (insert plastic tube before).

Have a nice watching & crocheting!

Firstly I crochet ARMS - YarnArt Happy, crochet hook 3 mm.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR [6]

or I crochet ch 2 and insert the hook in 2nd chain from hook because it is hard to make MR with the fluffy yarn.

and work 6 sc.

Rnd 2: 6 inc [12]

Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 [18]

Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 [24]

Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6 [30]

Rnd 6-10: 30 sc [30]

See you at the end of rnd 10.

I finished rnd 10.

Rnd 11: (3 sc, dec) x 6 [24]

Rnd 12: (2 sc, dec) x 6 [18]

Rnd 13: (7 sc, dec) x 2 [16]

Then add stuffing and add it steadily as you go through next rounds.

I finished rnd 13.

I put some stuffing, but not overstuff because I will shape the paw later.

Rnd 14-26: 16 sc [16]

See you at the end of rnd 26.

I finished rnd 26,

add stuffing.

Rnd 27: (2 sc, dec) x 4 [12]

I finished rnd 27.

There is only rnd 28 to do.

But now it's time to put plastic joints.

I have ready joints but I show you also

how to join the limbs without ready joints, using simple buttons.

Insert the plastic joint between rnd 26-27

You can adjust it.

And we cannot insert the joint in neck placement.

As you can see here in Mr Bear arms.

We should place them where the arms should be, a few rounds below the neck.

The paw is a bit below the bottom.

I just try it on.

And remember to place the arms along the side of the body (regarding front and back)

It is about 6 rounds below the neck.

The first part of the joint is inside the arm sticking out of the body

I have the second part - the washer which should be put on the sticking part inside the body.

And finally I put the end to lock the joints.

I'll probably burn the end using a hot spoon to secure it better.

If you haven't plastic joints, you can use four buttons - two for each limb.

I choose two black buttons.

Take a piece of yarn (my yarn is red to show you better the joint connection).

Draw the yarn through the holes in the button.

Two-hole button is enough but I have only four-hole so have no choice.

Then thread two ends of the yarn throught the tapestry needle

and insert into the arms (from the inner side)

and pull it through the stitches of the body in the place where arms should be.

It is better to put the ready arm when it is stuffed and finished - including the first part of the joint (or the first button & yarn) (the opening is closed)

Then I take the second button and put it inside the body to make a joint, drawing two ends of yarn through two opposite holes.

It's almost ready...

Bind the ends of yarn firmly inside the body.

So it's the second way I can make moveable joints.

See how it looks like.

You can move the arm around.

So I get back to the arm I make...

I put the first part of plastic joint sticking out of the arm.

In rnd 27 I decreased to 12 st | PL: w okr. 27 (mój błąd!)

Add stuffing.

Close the hole - rnd 28: 6 dec [6]

I don't need the marker already.

Cut the yarn and leave a tail for closing the opening.

Keep the sticking part out of the arm.

The arm with the joint is ready.

Now connect the arm with the body.

Put the washer on the sticking part inside the body and safe with the end.

It is better to try it on before you put the ends.

I will burn the sticking part a bit to secure it better - but it is not necessary.

I will attach the arm on the other side in the same way.

I've attached the arms already.

I have also PVC plastic tube.

I wrapped the ends with electrical tape.

I insert the tube inside the body and head.

Then I sew the body and head.

You can mark the critical points for placement the head.

I usually mark 4 points under the head - in the place where neck touches the head.

1 - front point

You can watch the Cats in love tutorial part 2, time 8:25

2 - back point

3 - and two sides

So we have four points.

Let's start sewing.

FRONT POINT

BACK POINT

I have two points attached.

Then I will sew side parts regarding semicircle curve - just like neck should goes.

I will add stuffing steadily before I close the opening completely.

The first half is ready, now I put some stuffing and sew the second half.

Oh! And see what I've done!

I sewed the head & body but I sew the head at the back... I forgot to check it. So be careful and pay attention to front part of the legs.

Bear cannot twist the head, so I have to unravel it gently.

Fluffy yarn doesn't help.

See you for a moment.

I managed to correct the head.

The bear has the head in proper place.

If you like, don't forget to SUBSCRIBE

See you in the next part of the tutorial.

We will crochet ears, nose, tummy, tail.

We will shape the paws, add pads

The bear will be finished.

See you! :-)

I tried washing my clothes in VINEGAR! Here's what happened. - Duration: 6:04.

Hi, so today's video is going to be slightly different because I'm taking

you to my kitchen and it's not to cook, it's to wash something. so I've been

doing some research for one of my videos and I found platforms saying

that you should wash your clothes with vinegar instead of using conditioner and

I was like that sounds like something that I would try so that's what we're

doing today. And for the purpose of not being biased, I will be using only

vinegar, no detergent. Just because I want to see what the effect of the vinegar

only will be. We're not going to be assessing whether it's clean we're going

to be assessing whether it's soft. Okay I'm sweating like a pig because it is so

hot. Today is not a good day to make a video.

I'm just drenched in it. I am sorry if you can see it. In terms of softness the

jumper is not really that soft anyway so I don't have high

expectations for this at the moment.

I'm going to use 1/4 of cup of vinegar and I'm going to wash it for a cycle of

twenty minutes and hopefully that's gonna be enough, cross fingers it does

not ruin it because if it's ruined I am pretty crude because it's one of my

favorite jumpers. The things you do for YouTube. And there is the vinegar. You can't really

see it because obviously it's transparent but it's there.

I'm not lying. okay let's bring this to the washing machine and this is the

conditioner compartment that I tried so hard to clean for you guys, didn't do a

very good job. Okay, here we go. [sounds]

I will keep you posted on the results if it's in little bits and pieces I will

let you know so you don't do this. Also it's a very bright and sunny day

today and yesterday a few guys actually slept in the car which

had me kinda worried because we've had this in the past where a guy will just

live in his car in the car park here because it is actually a cul-de-sac and

he will just get like really drunk and play music out loud and drink and just

be noisy. He didn't really bother me to be honest and he wasn't that bad

except when he used to pee on the floor that was pretty grim but yeah and

it kind of became like a normal thing for me. Every morning I

would wake up and I'll make my coffee I would come to the window and have a

look "Is he alive still?"

Aand then one day

I heard his car screeching down the road and I was like why is there a car going

so fast around here it's a cul-de-sac and I look

out the window and this car has just halted to a stop them here and some

guys come out and start bashing the homeless guys car to pieces and thank

goodness the homeless guy was not in there because I don't know what would

have happened to him but that's what happened. His car went to bits and

then a few weeks later people came in, towed the car away and I never saw the

homeless guy again. Pretty scary stuff around here where I live. Okay moment of

verdict. oh my god I am so concerned about this and I don't know why. It's just a jumper Leena,

but it's not just a jumper, it's my jumper

Okay let's do this. Let's get on with this shall we?

Open Sesame There you are . OH! it does oh my god

I'm not sure, I do feel like it's softer oh my god and it's

definitely not damaged it that's for sure. The color is still great it feels

soft I mean for a jumper that was never really that soft. I think this bloody

worked I'm gonna dry it I'm gonna dry it and then we're gonna have a look at it

right so it's kind of halfway dry and I have to say it I'm kind of amazed by

this. it has actually gone pretty soft I won't put it to my face because I've

got foundation on and that would just ruin it but yeah go and put all your

clothes in vinegar because it makes them soft and cozy
