Description I'm neutral about this piece. Not too pleased with it but not hating it outright. It took ages to make (though I made it weeks ago) and I did plan on selling copies. I decided against it. At least for this year while I perfect it further. XD Coming up with the pattern for the heart was difficult and took a ton of trial and error and I'm still not too pleased with it.
The chocolates were luckily very fun to make. :3
The wrappings...not too much. >.<;

Either way, I learned a lot from making this. ^^

This is exactly what I was looking for - It looks awesome to me.  I am still fairly new to amigurumi (I learned to crochet a few weeks ago).  I love your design - the small size (I don't want to make 50 chocolates), the heart box, AND the crochet paper cups!!  I haven't really seen anything else that is pure crochet; paper cups and felt boxes are totally cheating.  If you have a pattern, I'd be very interested.  ---Tracey Leigh

These crotchet items are too cool and excellent for doll houses as well as people who collect miniature things

The heart shape case looks fine overall. You did well. By the way, I'm now wondering what's with having a penny in some of your pictures which you are not holding your creations?

I kind of thought about the size. Is it that they don't fit?

You're quite amazing at what you do.
I think the heart looks amazing O: How do you come up with your own patterns! Haha~

altearithe In reply to Karmikosmic [2013-02-16 02:44:25 +0000 UTC]

Oh shucks, thanks~
It takes a lot of trial and error though. XD
Hm...I don't really know. o.o I just come up with the image in my head (sometimes draw it down) and formulate the shapes that are needed and then try out various stitches I know to reach the desired shape. XD;
Pretty much why I can't write patterns.

Oh I can imagine it takes a bunch of trial and error :U How do you have the patience for this! I crocheted without a pattern once. It drove me insane. and they turned out odd xD LOL!
Ahh that's cool though. You know your craft well x3
