I know this is not exactly a crochet question, but related. Many amigurumi patterns call for embroidering details, especially faces. Though I understand how to do this, I don't know how to anchor the stitch so it can't be pulled easily. Sometimes it can be hidden if a part of the piece has a similar color, I just tie it there and then take the needle in the toy until it comes out in the right place and then take it back to secure it. But most of the times, I can't do this without leaving a very obvious knot of a contrasting color. How do I do this? Diana

This project began it's life as my 2015 North Carolina State Fair project. Without going into all the sad details, I did not finish it in 2015. I cried for about 15 minutes when I realized it wasn't going to happen, and then I dried my tears and went out to dinner with my husband and son and rechristened the project my 2016 North Carolina State Fair project.

I have fibromyalgia (which causes muscular pain). I find it odd that I can crochet for 3 hours a day without any pain, but if I embroider for more than 20 minutes or so, my wrist hurts the next day! Have any of you "hookers" had a similar experience? Where you can crochet a lot, but only do embroidery (or needlepoint, cross stitch, etc) a little bit?
