A finished square and an amigurumi. Plus general crafting plans.

[@craftablyeverafter]

I think a lot of us are on the same train this year, moving away from the production line towards a wider variety of crochet and crafting. It's still going to be a fun year ❤

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Not taking crochet away with me on my short break really made me see more clearly. 👍🏻😺🧡

[@missapippin9020]

What an informative video Pamela. You have put a lot of thought into what you want to do in the year ahead. I’m sure that your content is going to be very well received. You are a joy to watch. Take care and enjoy your weekend. ❤

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Thank you 😻🧡

[@Crochetma4life]

I think the most important thing is create what gives you joy..All the things in the world that can creep in and give us unhappiness...our joy of creation should remain..❤ love that square...very pretty...never heard of that lil animal...he is so cute!

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Thank you. 👍🏻😺🧡

[@fionakane5736]

I was the same 1 amigurumi after another just working my way through books and my cousin asked if I wanted to put them on her stall, she also crochet. I said no as they all have safety eyes and I'm not taking the chance of them being given to children as a lot of people misunderstand the meaning of safety eyes I have found. So I have loads of them, so I'm now taking a break from them and currently making Rosina Plane Flora 's fauna and really enjoying it will still have the same problem what I'm going to do with it I don't know but it's my hobby and I have to do something so I'm not going to overthink it to much as long as I'm enjoying myself that's all that matters.

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Yes, you have nailed it there. We still have to create! I'd really like to try a Rosina Plane. I was interested before I jumped on the amigurumi train! 😺🧡

[@jennylow2598]

I'm 75 and love crochet and knitting my grandchildren are all grown up so I don't make things for them now but I love making toys so much I can't stop, and I won't because I do it for me and the pleasure I get from creating is that wrong ?

[@GingerCatCrochet]

@jennylow2598 ooh no, what you like to make is never wrong. If it brings you joy, I'm all for it. 🧡

[@ksmomcrochets]

Hi Pamela, while I do love seeing your beautiful Ami's, I totally get having to do what makes you happy! Glad that you are taking steps toward acheiving happiness in your crafting and doing KZbin does have a way of making you want to crank out projects. I look forward to seeing what beautiful things you create in 2025 whether it be an amigurumi, blanket, a cardigan, or anything else! 🤗❤️

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Thank you, Julie 😺🧡

[@cocoscrochet6380]

Hi Pamela 🤗 crochet, like life, is all about balance! Your little quokka for our CAL is adorable! 🥰🧶🤩

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Thank you 🧡 😺

[@mousiemakespod]

Thank you, Pamela, for that very useful and interesting chat about how you’re thinking of moving forward with your crafting. It’s definitely important to get the right balance and good to question ourselves like this every now and then! And I’m certain that all of us enjoy popping by to see you because we simply like your company. ❤

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Thank you, I'm happy to listen to you any time; always engaging. ❤️

[@cherylcook218]

HELLO Pamela the squeare looks amazing ❤

[@carolinefortheloveofcrochet]

Hearng you chat about your crochet creations moving forward is exactly what I have been addressing at the beginning of 2024. Being a YT creator it is very hard to separate the creations you actually want to the creations for KZbin. I think it is wise to set up the questions before creating. I was disappointed at the waste I was creating with no intentions. I had no idea you were a knitter.😮 i also have a few cross stitch patterns and embroidery kits that i would like get my hands on soon. Whatever you create I wil be here for it❤ Hugs Pamela

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Yes, I remember you having this dilemma, too, and it sowed a seed in my thinking. I'm just a bit behind you!! I like how you have diversified and grown craft-wise. X😺🧡

[@flourishfaithfiber]

Ollie is adorable! I like the colors in your square...very pretty together. I found the same...trying to do too much and pushing aside what I really wanted to do. FOMO is real! 😂I hope you find so much joy in crafting in 2025.

[@GingerCatCrochet]

I'm sure I will and you will, too. 😺🧡

[@robynmusto]

Sounds good, Pamela. I look forward to seeing whatever you make or whatever you get up to in 2025. 😊 I haven't knitted anything since 2003 and would like to relearn how to knit this year. 💕

[@GingerCatCrochet]

It would be good to relearn. 👍🏻🧡

[@AntisocialAuntie]

I am here to watch whatever you decide to put out on the KZbin world 🥰 I look forward to seeing your new makes, whenever you post. Happy New Year!

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Thank you 😺 🧡

[@jeannewells6747]

Your quokka is so adorable I had never heard of them they are quite cute ❤

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Neither had I but they're beautiful 😍

[@lindajeanhouse6443]

I'm not sure how I found your channel, probably from Cassandra at Craftably Ever After. I started watching not too long ago in 2024. I enjoy watching all the things you make. I don't often comment as I crochet while watching, but I want you to know one of the many reasons I watch you is because of your varied interests. You are an extremely likable and talented woman who gives me lots of inspiration and encouragement. Keep being YOU, Pamela. I don't need another copycat podcaster. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Oh, thank you so much for your support. I think I've put myself into this amigurumi box and become less of what I want to be about. 🤔 It's always good to have a bit of self-analysis as long as it's positive! 😺🧡

[@marionmathews9852]

It was really interesting listening to your reasoning regarding making amigurumi creatures. The same thing happened to me about 3 years ago. I was obsessed making amigurumi, improving my makes along the way. Once I’d perfected them however, I got really bored with them. I’d also made a lot, which were taking over my craft room. I’ve since given most of them away, and I’ve totally stopped making them. I moved onto sewing animals, in particular, Luna Lapin the hare. These became another obsession. I enjoyed both the hand sewing and sewing their clothes using a machine. I do still crochet, because I love it, but mainly do blankets or wearables.

[@GingerCatCrochet]

That sounds very like my thoughts. I'll always have obsessions because that's my personality, but the obsession has to be engaging. 👍🏻😺🧡

[@marionmathews9852]

I think that it’s my personality also.

[@FindingMyTiaraDesign]

Happy New Year! I think you have a great plan for 2025. I have so many Amigurumi’s sitting everywhere in my house. I’d like to try and do markets this year and sell some things. This year I’m going to be mindful about what I make. I’ll be watching you this year for sure!!! Have a great weekend💖💖💖💖💖

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Thank you, Patricia. 😺🧡

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

“I've given myself a good talkin to” 🤣 I should do the same. I look forward your 2025 makes what ever they may be.

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Thank you. I didn't argue with myself which was even better! 🤣😺🧡

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

@ 🤣

[@anne-mariesmith2007]

Happy new year Pamela. It's good to take stock and reflect, it's easy to get carried away and feel overwhelmed. I will look forward to seeing your cardigan. Hopefully I will be doing more crochet this year, I lost my crojo last year.

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Yes, you have to find that spark to get it back. 👍🏻😺🧡

[@angelaholcroft4515]

Happy New Year, Pamela. Listening to your chat about crafting really resonated with me. I've set a few intentions regarding my crafting. Like yourself I enjoy multiple crafts and want to explore them further. Knitting usually takes over though. I made my first amigurumi last year after being inspired by watching you. I'll definitely be watching along this year to see all your lovely projects. X

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Thank you. 👍🏻😺🧡

[@kkcrochet]

I would watch you if you read the phone book because I enjoy listening to your stories and seeing what you do. You had me smiling through the whole video. I appreciate that you shared where your journey is going and the struggle so many of us face. I have felt everything you said and I'm struggling to participate in as much as I can, while still making sure I can use the finished product and enjoy the process.

[@GingerCatCrochet]

It's so true. Sometimes I think they'll find me under a mountain of crochet! 🤣😺🧡

[@kkcrochet]

@ I'll bring my hook and crochet you out from under it!! 😆

[@GingerCatCrochet]

@kkcrochet thanks, I'll do the same for you ❤️

[@fionacastle7517]

Hello Pamela, Happy New Year. I went through Huddersfield on the train just before Christmas. Looks a lovely town.

[@GingerCatCrochet]

The station is still tremendous but a lot of the shops have closed which isn't good. 😺🧡

[@KerryVids]

Looking forward very much to following as you explore your new and old directions. Really enjoyed the goalie chat. I do love following goalies myself but was unaware of this lad- I'll check him out. I hate to be an enabler but I do love the idea of Terrier hero in a shop situated in a *UFC stronghold. Lifesize. My initial research on him puts him between 6'2" and 6'7".

[@GingerCatCrochet]

I like your thinking 🤣😺🧡

[@KerryVids]

Good stash buster, a six footer 😂

[@lynnhaines4766]

I’m new here. Found you because of jenni from in my spare time crochet. I totally get what you are saying about going down the hole and making things for the sake of making things. I’m trying to be my selective this year. I have a make done for the made in Australia CAL now and have sent my pic to Jenni already I enjoyed your video. Lynn aka Lynnpenguin 🇨🇦

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Thank you for watching. 👍🏻😺🧡

[@sandraknight3163]

I would be very interested in the other things you do. Like you I’m down the Amigurumi rabbit hole and trying to do other things. I want to relearn to knit and do som Tunisian also.

[@GingerCatCrochet]

I think there are a few of us feeling like this or have felt like this, judging by the replies. 👍🏻😺🧡

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

Hi Pamela, I am here for whatever you are creating/ doing. As you may know, I too have reflected a bit and definitely want to do more of what I want to do 😊 your quokka is absolutely adorable! I loved your idea of Jacob Chapman lol but I totally understand why you dropped the idea! Would you believe that he was born less than an hour of where I live?! 😊❤

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Wow. Had you heard of him? X 🥰😺🧡

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

@ no I hadn’t, but I don’t really follow the A League too much. I’m more a NRL (Rubgy League) gal 🥰

[@noamleora]

Thank you for saying the prices for the amigurumi was very low because that is the reason I will not sell my knitted or crochet items. They take hours sometimes days to make and people don't want to pay fair prices. I make them and give them to oved ones. ❤

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Best way. 👍🏻😺🧡

[@kkcrochet]

One of the reasons I don't sell and really don't like to even gift amigurumi with safety eyes is my concern about safety and not knowing if they will be used correctly.

[@GingerCatCrochet]

Exactly, my friend 🧡 😺
