Ohhhhhhh, it’s looking nice! I love the blue colors 
And thanks for the tips, especially about the gears!
What crochet project are you going to start? I haven’t crocheted for months, it’s like I don’t have enough time for all my hobbies… so now I’m sacrificing crochet

I try to find a balance in everything I like to do. It is not always simple. But I don’t want to stop anything at the moment

I will make this giraffe. It’s a crochet packet from Action that one of the member of our crafting group had bought. She is a preschool teacher and is collecting all sorts of things for her class. She is a beginner in crochet so she asked if I could to it because you have to switch colors a lot

Ohhh, I’ve realized I have too many hobbies and not enough time for everything… This week I’ve had a break, but otherwise I don’t even have time to watch K-dramas 
I can watch some anime from time to time and read a bit at night before sleeping, but the little free time I have after school, because many days I still have work to do at home (and I have to do it a LOT), I try to split between gaming, building miniatures, or doing crochet.
But honestly, lately crochet and watching series like K-dramas have been completely on hold…
By the way, I think it’s such a lovely idea to collect crochet dolls for her class! The pattern looks really nice, and even with the color changes it doesn’t seem too complicated. You’ll have to show the final result

I like how you ended up painting the box. The subtle pop of blue is beautiful.

Thank you! I really like the blue I chose too. I did some test swatches between the pieces to make my choice.

That’s a good strategy. I’ll have to try it if I ever end up painting my builds.

Hi Minus_88, your Treasure Box is looking wonderful already! It is so smart to take a crochet break after tackling those tricky clockwise turns. I love that you highlighted the wax and sandpaper trick, as those really are the secret to making those gears spin like magic!

Hahaha I must say I love your choice of meme! 
The instructions do be confusing at times. It looks like you’re painting this so I’m excited to see how it will turn out! That’s a lovely blue you’ve got going on!

Thank you! I see the memes in many other posts, so I thought I could give it a try as well. I like it when a meme just gets the right feel of a situation.
The treasure box is finished. You can find the end result right here
