WIP Wednesday: Crochet Loop Stitch

To see more WIPs, visit Tami's Amis.

Pattern:  My own, inspired by an image seen on FB

Yarn:  Random stash acrylic

Hook:  H

This project forced me to learn how to do the crochet loop stitch.  I am really proud of how it is turning out.  My loops are surprisingly uniform in length.  It took me a long time to figure out what exactly to do with the working yarn and my fingers, but I found some great tutorials on the web:

*This link on freshstitches.com was the most helpful to me.  I prefer photo tutorials, but this one also includes a video.  And who knew you could use this stitch to make hair for your amigurumis??

*This link on craftpassion.com has a video and some great tips.

What are you making this week?
