Greetings to all needle artists and supporters!

Let us proceed to our featured projects this week...

As always, it is never an easy task to pick because there are so many beautiful projects to choose from!

First up, we have 2 adorable crocheted amigurumi projects. Amigurumi usually involves a number of different components and sometimes really small ones to complete the project.

Amigurumi #75: Carolina by @inici-arte

Hive account@inici-arte has been wanting to crochet this doll for a long time and she finally did it. At 30cm tall, this doll is simply adorable with her big eyes, beautiful dress, flowy hair, cute boots and bag plus a hair bow. Hive account@inici-arte shows us each component that she happily crocheted and assembled together.

Needleworkmonday:: Thor crochet knitted by @fabianaporteles

Sharing with us the history of Thor, Hive account@fabianaporteles brings us through her journey of creating the hero himself by the art of amigurumi, crocheted skillfully with her own hands. Just like Hive account@inici-arte's doll, Thor involves various components that make up the doll and Hive account@fabianaporteles does not miss to show the components she made to build up the doll together with his cape, helmet and hammer.

Next, we move on to 2 lovely garment projects by our needle artists.

Crochet Summer Top by @romeskie

It was Hive account@romeskie's first time crocheting a swim top which was requested by her sister and a challenge that Hive account@romeskie set for herself to learn. But with all the lockdown that is happening in the world currently, what was intended for her sister had to be reconfigured for Hive account@romeskie's own use. To achieve that, she added some freehand design to the original pattern to give it a better fit and uplifted the piece beautifully.

Sowing a blouse and sewing some seeds by @neumannsalva

As Hive account@neumannsalva finds relaxation in sowing / sewing her new garden, she attempts the Mimi blouse from Tilly pattern again, this round with an old men's shirt that already has the buttonband needed and in case of any unintentional destruction. With research and improvisation creativity, Hive account@neumannsalva sowed/sewed her blouse and although it is still not to her liking, she could wear it while she sowed/sewed on her new garden, a seamless unity of sowing and sewing.
