I have a question . In my original pattern it says that I have to go from (30) to (36) and that has to be done with sc. Inc ×6 and then 18sc and then you have (36). should I do 2 rows of sc .Inc.x6 sc36 ? or should I do this in a different way 😅
I would have used those lovely purple cores and remade the cuffs :) Purple cuffs at the bottom of the ombre to blue sleeves would be fun
23:35 ✨kAaAy✨ GREAT PLUSH BTW
The end of the backrolls seems wrong to me. Row 30 is 21 stitches, the next is 18 somehow then row 32 is only worked into 15 stitches. This would make it not so symmetrical too. Am i missing something here? 2:17:30
You are INCREDIBLE!!! I could never come up with something like that, even if I followed an actual pattern! I think crochet dino pastries/breakfast items/desserts should definitely be a thing 🤗 May I suggest, however, that in order to completely be at one with said pastry/breakfast item/dessert dino you should consume the food version - purely in the interest of science and authenticity 🤔😆🥐
R14. Isn’t 2sc inc 4 loops and not three or am I missing something?
I don't understand the toes attaching part (beginning of arms/legs)
I made one!! He is such a gentleman!!
I love this but absolutely hate safety eyes it took me half an hour to get them on the amount of times I wanted to chuck this across the room. To make it even worse I decided to make this as a key chain my advice is don’t because you will probably cry
Idk if you read these but you could do like Awkward middle stages? Like cringy teenager photo vibes
you posted this video exactly when i needed it--i was yelling at trying to do short rows for my typhlosion since that was the technique i knew that could achieve the direction swap--the surface crocheting is incredible and much easier to understand! excited to swap to that instead.
I was taught French knitting was called corking! I do not know why. -southern ontario, canada
Is it possible to glue the sections together? I’m not great at sewing but I’m a wiz with a glue gun 😅
I’m 13 and I’ve just started crocheting amagarumi recently, for me this tutorial was quite simple and I struggled rarely with it. I think mine turns out very well so thank you.
Cantaloupe is the beige outside orange inside. Honeydew is the green yellow one
❤ Great pattern and tutorial
when it says 2[],2[] , are you supposed to do the first bracket twice then the second bracket twice or first bracket then second bracket and repeat??
I hope this made sense 😭
I was making the back piece so I opened the face piece because I had nowhere to put the legs, arms, and tail, I put them inside of the face piece and said out loud, "It is like a stow of Dino parts, no, no, wait a witches brew"
stream starts at 1:47
Stop making me fall in love with my least favorite pokemon! First raticate and now drowzee?!
Great job these ❤
please share how you made the mouth on the gengar plush
Im lost😂
Thank u for the pattern they are so 🥰
Just finishing up the vod. I fell asleep around 5/6 hours in because it was 5:30am here 😂 Some other stream themes could be Birds of Prey (if you want to do an all bird stream) OR Prey of Birds! There’s plenty to go with that one, polywag, any of the fish, any of the mouse-y friends. OR under the sea friends OR let them grow (so like the bells, the weird palm looking guy or even butterfly’s since they morph!)
You could also do a ‘pick the blob’ 😂😂 gastly, ditto, grimer and such would fit that category 😂
"I found this series of buckets. Let's pour them out!" XD
watching on replay love all your videos and i love the energy you bring to your content
Wow this is incredible, learned so many new techniques!! I actually don't have the time to crochet rn but still watched the whole video, you're the best!
this is fantastic, there are no other such online free teaching about such factors about crocheting, you are a life saver, also part 3 is going to be well appreciated, best of wishes
I had no idea you could crochet on the tail end, then pull to make it curl!! That's so cool! That little one looks absolutely adorable, you did an amazing job.
Hey CK. Missed the stream today, but just wanted to let you know that we all support you taking care of your physical and mental health. When you need days to take it easy and not go so extreme, we love it just as much as the days when you're doing fantastical feats. We enjoy both. Your easy days offers us beginners a "way in." and I appreciate that so much.
muchas gracias, intentaré hacerlo 😊 no se ingles 😢 te salió espectacular!!! me encanta 🥰 ya quería hacer algo así desde hace mucho tiempo, una colección de animales fantásticos wow 🤩 gracias y si un ave fénix sería genial 👍 para la colección 😊
On the hook squeaks: For knitting, (I'm a crochet novice forgive me) I notice the squeaks when the yarn is too tight around the needle. Maybe it's the same for the hooks?
This might not work but try to use your hook and the weighted blanket method to add the beads. (Place a bead on your hook then make a hdc pulling the bead off at the end). The beads will be standing straight up and hopefully you will have less gaps. You would just need a hook that’s a 1.0mm or smaller to fit in the hole in the bead.

so cute! you are so freaking creative and talented, i love your work! about the squeaky hook, i've really only noticed it when my hands were a bit damp, so if i just washed my hands, or picked up a drink with a bunch of condensation on the cup, etc. once my hands are fully dry, it tends to stop squeaking.
🎉🎉🎉🥰💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I'm making this for my boyfriend, but I realized a bit to late that you weren't supposed to stuff the body so I had to use my hook to pull out as much as I could 🥲
Thanks! Mine came out so cute!!! I made him all green! I didn't know how to stitch him together but whatever I did, I did it right.
I think it looks absolutely amazing! ❤
This is such an amazing concept for crochet! So interactive. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you play and create! You do an absolutely amazing job.❤
Oh my gosh thank you so much for making this!!! 😭😭 I’m so happy 😁 and I was JUST looking for a new amigurumi type pattern to start ♥️♥️♥️
In woven fabric, I would have assembled the way you wanted to - shoulders first, then sleeves, then sleeve and side seams in one. You could have put the cuff on while the sleeves were flat.
This little guy is so adorable! He came out great. Thank you for always sharing your creations with us! Thanks to you, I've been learning so much and having fun crocheting, and learning from my mistakes. You're a fantastic teacher.
I just missed it!
I, too, laughed at the idea that Whitney could be a threat… until her Miltank nearly demolished my party 😂
As a sewist and crocheter, you have just opened up a whole new world for me!😊 In theory, at least!
You have brought me into a whole new world of crochet- thank you ❤
Gardening season for me so I don't have time to watch and drool over all your videos but I'm making sure to stop in and give you a like and a comment for the algorithm
Thank you thank you, would you mind if I used your tutorial to make this cute bigger ❤
