Another interesting twitter thread inspired by Ada Lovelace day - passing mention to Partridge, but mostly about the engineer and innovator Beatrice Shilling
I made a phoenix for my older daughter, and my younger asked for a unicorn!
The pattern is from "Crochet Creatures of Myth and Legend" by Megan Lapp. I highly recommend it if you like making amigurumi 😊
Adorable! How’d you get the mane and tail to be curled and stay curled?
Super-duper tight tension! Just pull the yarn really tight and keep the stitches really small. It makes it a little harder to get the hook in the stitch but you can't argue with the results :)
