Hi! Love the channel! I think there's too much fuss made about the stitch markers and sewing on pieces. This is supposed to be fun! If the stitch marker is a bit thick then use a thinner one or massage the hole closed. If sewing isn't your thing, don't choose projects that have sewn on parts or learn to embrace it as a new skill to learn. I come from a quilting and bead stitching background so I love the sculptural aspect of amigurumi. Please just enjoy and embrace the process -- your projects will be better and you will be happier too 😊

Yeaaah! I agree SO MUCH with you! Of course, there are always things for us to learn and improve when it comes to sewing or getting to know different accessories for example. But all in all, we are supposed to have fun and enjoy the process! I am super happy that you like my channel, btw! 😍

Hi Bianca. I am new to your channel. I love how positive your messaging is and so many great tips! I was wondering if you might have a link for the cat from Alice in Wonderland? He is adorable!

Hi my dear! First of all, I am SO glad that you found me and my channel! Welcome to Crocheniacs 😍 The pattern for the Cheshire Cat is available on my website: crocheniacs.etsy.com/listing/1741067012

Hi Bianca, I'm new to your channel. Last week I bought the Christmas decorations pattern on your Etsy account. Since I'm new here, I don't know if you already talked about the hook brands. I have the clover amour but I see that the red tulip are highly recommend, do you know if they are very different? Would it be worth changing the hooks? The truth is I have been thinking about it but the investment in the tulips is greater and that is why I want to know if there is much difference between both brands. I really appreciate your opinion.

Hiiii! Welcome to the channel 😍 And thank you so much for supporting me and my work! Hope you have lots of fun crocheting these patterns! I talked about crochet hooks in this video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnOtpqaEn76Hbdksi=hUPvFEsUceIyosWB But I have to say that Clover is a very good brand indeed and some people prefer Clover over Tulip. I guess it is a matter of preference only, because they are both great. I prefer Tulip because of its ergonomics. Hope I helped you 😘

Hi, I've been following Bianca for awhile now, and I LOVE all her advice! Watch her video on hooks. I wish I saw this video when I first started crocheting. I have so many hook styles that I purchased through the years, and my favorite is Clover Soft Touch, especially for amigurumi. So if you want to try something new, give that a try. But only buy one! Bianca's video gives great advice.

Why can't I just use metal safety pins as stitch markers? That's what I use currently, and it seems like they work just fine. I guess you have to be more careful because safety pins are sharp, but is there any other reason why I shouldn't use safety pins as stitch markers?

[@Crocheniacs]

Actually, you can use it, no problem at all. I have some here, but it's just a matter of preference I guess. I tried to use them and I didn't like it. I am a bit clumsy and since they are sharp it's pretty easy for me to get hurt 😂 But if you manage to work with them, go for it! They are great too 😘
