Oh my goodness I’m SO glad you joined in! You’ve made the Care Bears!!!! I want to make them someday. 😀 I absolutely LOVE all your makes! 😍

[@starlightandstitches]

Thank you for starting such a cool tag!! Bit of a wake up call with how many books I still need to work from!! (The Care Bears are a free pattern from stringy ding dings!!) ❤️❤️❤️

I was looking for this answer, thank you thank you thank youuuuu! ♥️♥️♥️

[@StitchADeeDooDoll]

Hi Alice, yay! I was going to tag you when I end up doing mine. Thank you for joining in on this tag😄, I thoroughly enjoyed watching. It was your book videos that have changed my mind about multiple amigurumi books. I find that when I see someone flip through a book or show an amigurumi that they've worked up, I tend to be more interested in purchasing the pattern/book. Something about real people showing and telling 😅

[@starlightandstitches]

Ahh that’s awesome!! Some people tell me off (just joking of course) for my book walkthroughs 😂😂 Apparently I am an enabler😄😄❤️

[@nicolaking2704]

I really think I need to get a Monsters amigurumi book, they look great fun! Also, super stashbusters, as it really doesn't matter what colours you use. Thanks so much for your videos, I watch them all!

[@starlightandstitches]

They’re my favourite books!! I’ve used all sorts of yarns for them, it’s just great 🥰🥰🥰

[@EmmePhillips-HookinEmme]

Your amis are so great! Anything rainbow is my favorite.

[@starlightandstitches]

Aww thank you 🥰 Can’t beat rainbows!! 🌈❤️

I learnt amigurumi from Zoomigurumi books - I have them all including all their others that they publish - they are so easy to follow wonderful photos to follow along with

[@acraftyseason1007]

I'd love a review of the crochet animals book, definitely up my alley. Thank you thank you for doing this tag. It was as wonderful as I thought it would be. And I have added some books to my list. I'm obsessed with Ami books. I have 59 so far but I've got so many more on my want list. I love your book reviews they are the best. And I'm still holding out for crochet roulette😉🤣 I'm a sucker for a wheel and chance 🤪. Also I recommend the Pica Pau books because they are amazing and they'd make a wonderful addition to your collection. Also I think youd come up with so fun colors and spin on the already precious quirky characters. Wonderful video as always my friend Alice! 👋

[@starlightandstitches]

I’ll put those books on my list to buy!! I definitely want to do some crochet roulette this year- I think I have a space next month in my video schedule so watch this space my lovely 🥰❤️

I really do need to start making stuff from some of them- maybe just one a month until I can say I’ve used every book! ❤️

[@brbrben7781]

Hi Alice, thanks for another great video. I have a few of the same books, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one that gets them, then doesn't get round to using them 🙄🙄🤣🤣 If you're anything like me, you see it, like it, decide that you really need to have it and then it sits on the shelf until something crops up and you think, 'Oh, I have the perfect book for that!' I bet, if you did a poll, there would be lots more of us than you thought. Look forward to your next video, take care xx

Crochet Iconic Women is amazing. So far, I've made one Emmeline Pankhurst, two Elizabeth the Seconds, two Rosa Parks-es and one J. K. Rowling that I improvised based on the other patterns. My younger cat has eaten one corner of the cover, so I think she likes the book, too.

[@starlightandstitches]

Haha! That’s high praise from the kitty if it’s good enough to nibble on! You’re flying with this book- I must make more from it- I w still only done queen Elizabeth so far! ❤️

This was a super fun video! Don't feel bad you have not made patterns from a bunch of the books! I have a decent crochet book selection which I haven't done patterns from them. I have been working on a bunch of blankets and plan to get into my books! You can never have too many books :) Have a great day love!

Hello, first time here! I really enjoyed your take on that tag😃I did whatched several others videos on this # , and I still learned some new stuff watching yours! For exemple, no one ( I think...) mentionned and did show the back cover of the book" Crochet animals mix and match" ( I taught the " mix and matched" applied to the clothes that fit all the caracters in the book! ...) But, since its similar to Edwards menagerie books ( on animal, and another on monsters...), you changed my mind on this book and I really would like to buy it! !💚💚💚 Thank you soo much! I will come back on your channel for sure! It would be fun to do a :" review" on this book , if you didn't made it yet! ( I'm going right now check your play list for yours reviewed books!😉

[@santosrivera724]

First I must say I'm so glad I found your channel. I just love your enthusiasm about your craft. I'm doing a marathon of watching your videos. I can't believe that you haven't been crocheting for longer than what you've mentioned. I love your videos on the individual amigurumi books. I have questions for you what yarn and hook do you use? What kind of yarn do you suggest. Where did you find the pattern for the care bears I'm being blessed with an addition to my family my 9th grandchild and Im over joyed with this addition and would love to make him a special handmade toy from grandma. Its such a pleasure watching and learning from you ☺

[@starlightandstitches]

Hello my lovely!! So happy to have you here 🥳❤️ And what lovely kind words. I use a really cheap set of crochet hooks that I found on Amazon a couple of years ago- nothing fancy at all, but I really like them so I havnt had the need to upgrade to a named brand. For a lot of my Amigurumis I use the stylecraft special chunky yarn, with a 4.5mm hook. Most of the ones behind me have been made with that calibration. I really love making the characters with a chunky yarn but you can use any weight of yarn at all! Sometimes I use other yarns if I’m feeling funky and just adjust the hook size accordingly. The Care Bears are a free pattern from stringy ding ding online! They were actually pretty simple to do! Congratulations on the news of the newest addition to your family ❤️🥰 That’s utterly wonderful!

I have a question about the bat as I've been trying to make him for quite some time. Is part of his body meant to be straight like his back straight and front front round? As I have great difficulty with him in trying to get him completely rounded. And his head gives me dome trouble too instead of round speare i sometimes get an ovel shape.
