The hyperfixations are very relatable lol. I mainly switch between my different hobbies (crochet/knitting, reading, writing, studying, working out) and have these phases where I do nothing else besides the fixated hobby for hours on end, without realizing that I need to eat, go to the toilet and sleep. I too have been like that since I was a child. Ever since I got diagnosed last year I know that it is part of my auDHD and since then I’ve gotten a lot better at navigating these phases. I still do like them a lot, because they reflect that I’m passionate, but I sometimes crave for more stability in my activities…

[@dracosymmetry8371]

I swore I dreamt about this uploading the night before. But still happy it's finally here

[@ikoxun]

haha it did! but I had to take it down cause some of the audio was messed up :)

[@classyvxbe]

I knew I wasn’t trippin 😩 lol!

[@isabellaespinal6709]

Sounds like a nice dream🤣🤣

[@annavanderwal990]

I’m always amazed by how you do so many big projects. I dont have much time because of school so I dont do big projects often because it would take me LITERALLY months. But how you design and recreate so many things just amazes me! In my opinion you are definitely an artist!!

[@tweak8866]

I highly recommend using a simple bandeau bra under the brown tube top! It's so pretty and that would take care of any exposure issues! Thank you for another excellent video!!

[@ikoxun]

omg thanks for the recommendation

[@chickengirlslyrics]

i’m exactly the same way where i fixate on something when i start doing it! i started running and now i can’t stop watching videos related to running 😭

[@lindasakseide282]

You ARE a true artist ❤. I wish you wouldn´t doubt yourself. I have watched several of your vlogs, and I really love the majority of your pieces, both the design and the color choices that you do. So just keep up the good work, and KNOW that WE who watch you are really impressed by your work. I am inspired to make similar things for my own vlogs, and YOU are one of my inspirations. Please don´t think lesser of yourself ❤

[@patvalenzuela5105]

I understand about how you feel about your art. I used to feel the same way. I've loved fiber arts my whole life. I got a degree in education because I needed to make some money. Then I got a degree in fiber arts. I started wi weaving and now I'm slow stitching and everything else in between. I'm retired from teaching but still doing art I'm 73. I love your art , don't worry just keep on doing... lovely work.

[@frenchtoast1826]

Girl I would totally buy a book from you, your ideas are so creative!!

[@ChantelleArts]

I always find your voice so soothing in these videos 🥰

[@joyatalukder4409]

My favourite kinda notification 🫶🏻🎀

[@user-jn2vh5ey6f]

gir are u kidding me those shorts are so good!!!! i need to make them now

[@katyclay2541]

Sis did her thing 🤭🤭🤭❤️😭😭😭

[@morbidlyxobsessed]

Maybe this is just me but I started working out years ago, same as creative hobbies and I think both areas are so important as outlets for our emotions. The way Training and creativity have impacted my mental health is crazy!

[@wormdoodles]

So I found you through your local yarn store vidoe and I just wanted to say I'm so happy to have found your channel! I love the amigurumi focused youtubers as well but you're a breath of fresh air amongst yarntubers for focusing more on wearables which I'm personally more interested in at this moment on my crochet/knitting journey :). I also love that you use more interesting yarn than the usual chenille/acrylic/sugar and cream I see on YT. I would 100% buy a pattern book from you, especially if it had both crochet and knitting patterns!

[@yasmineaguilar964]

Im in love with the rainbow cardigan🫣

[@londonnnnnnnnnnm]

Hi you're my favorite youtuber and i really liked this upload because it sort of made me feel like i had a knit/crochet buddy that i was just listening to while they crochet/knit with me. It brought me out of my crochet slump and i want to thank you so much for that!

[@LowkeeyLoki]

Also ILY SM YOUR VOICE IS SO CALMING ❤

[@ikoxun]

THANK YOU!! :)

[@Abcdefghijk-sd2kx]

WE NEED MORE OF THESE DIARIES

[@freequincee]

I get so excited whenever you post! You are definitely an artist and a wonderful one at that. You inspired me to crochet my first ever project and post a crochet video! Thank you for sharing your journey with us 💛🧶

[@kalientecreates]

the rainbow cardigan is GORGEOUS?! i'm also thinking about going to japan this fall to visit my friend!

[@Pickles6115]

Always be proud of what you do. Remember Bob Ross " We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents. Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do." Have a safe trip. We got to visit before Covid hit afterwards they basically closed off any visitors.

[@Pikawolfgirl64]

Yay I'm so excited to watch this!

[@harukawilliams]

I’m Japanese and already know you love Japanese stuff because your room has so many Japanese characters 😆❤and yes stationary is always cute good quality 🧡🫶🏼 Have fun your trip 🥰

[@harukawilliams]

Also i love your video ❤️ I am a big fun of your channel from Japan 🥰

[@ayanasmith8991]

I would definitely buy a book from you! You are sooo talented and absolutely an artist 💚

[@madelinefaye]

Can you do a short showing how you folded over that purple tube top and added the chain? It's so pretty 😍

[@jennyb975]

Love to hear your thought process as you create. Thanks for sharing with us and all your hard work editing.

[@simoneclarke5104]

Thank you for all the inspiration 💖!!

[@lyrictheexplorer3455]

this was such a cozy watch ☺️.

[@user-vn4lv9pv1p]

いつもikoxunさんの動画を楽しみにしてる日本人です 日本に行くと聞いてびっくりしました！ちょっとだけ聞こえた日本語の発音がとても聞きやすかったです 旅行楽しんでください！😊

[@bayleaf2023]

I love that you're always pushing yourself to try new things and increase your skill level. You've inspired me to do the same. Please don't be too hard on yourself, remember that we're all in awe of your skill, talent, and artistry :)

[@i_know_darling]

I adore your videos, I literally jumped on the notification 🫶🫶

[@user-bu5le9ct1s]

Oh My God. I'm really obsessed with what you do and I've literally seen all of your videos. I hope you continue and post more videos❤🤏🏿

[@julia_hlcz]

I’m so happy every time you upload a video 🙏🏽 thank you for your effort and work 🫂

[@kanjifaith6619]

I love your videos! Everything you make is such a cool experience, whether it turns out well or not.

[@siennarose845]

this video makes me feel like we are just like friends chillin and crafting together :D always love your vibes in your videos. im ALSO going to japan this fall so that made it extra feel like we were just friends LOL anyway always love seeing your creative mind at work

[@malurabello7424]

Im already anxious to the summer crochet projects😁

[@TheFaheem0707]

OMG... You look so chic in your rainbow cardigan over white short dress.

[@mayyishgirl]

love these type of videos ❤❤ yay ! 🫶🏼🌸

[@tripinoncrochet7676]

Everything you create is so beautiful ❤👍

[@hassliebe3724]

I love the rainbow cardigan!! I think it's perfect literally for every occasion and every season. I've been in a crochet slump for about three weeks, and this video really inspired me to make new clothes. I don't really 'design' crochet items, I usually just use patterns from the internet but now I want to make sth my own

[@estm7481]

Beautiful cardigan! I want the same 😍 I'm happy for you and your next trip to Japan. You are talented and I love to watch your videos 😊

[@DorkyNightshade]

I love how Appa's just looking right at you.

[@hysteric-and-hysterical]

The rainbow cardigan is adorable!

[@artworld_create7627]

i love when u make vlogs

[@morelikegayther]

babe wake up the queen posted!!!

[@Viteaification]

14:00 so true. i havent made a large illustration piece in a while, just little doodles here and there (and huge knitting projects... which isn't my bread and butter so to speak) so im feeling less like an artist. which is dumb! im still creating a whole lot of things!

[@rebeka5233]

The exact content I just needed. Thank you!

[@Vassaa]

I'm inspired and amazed! Like your videos, calm voice and background music And I really liked the first two-tone top, wanna make it for myself, I liked that color combination You are a good artist, so I look forward to your next videos and wish you success in Japanese!

[@chai5427]

As a fellow hyperfixator, being a jack of all trades is something else… punch needling is super fun! The possibilities are endless from rugs to bags to mug rugs to slippers!!! Hope ya get to try it out eventually :D

[@Rockinlawyer887]

I love your channel so much ❤ please add a workout video. Im here for it all 😂

[@harperdean203]

The orange and blue makes me think of Bluey and Bingo

[@purdybby]

Ur so talented

[@amirahharvey-head2501]

That shirt is so cute

[@peppapig807]

I am by no means an expert on publishing books and I don't know how other crochet artists do it, but I do know self publishing is an option. I did it once a long time ago for a book I wrote. If I recall correctly, you have to purchase an ISBN and then you find a publisher (there are a few online) and pay them to publish and print your book for you. I'm not sure if this is how other people do it, but maybe it will give you a starting point

[@rosemarygingham9835]

that adhd hyperfixation hits me hard! I have quite the hobby graveyard because of it! lol. Hoping my crocheting fixation lasts forever though. I miss my working out days though and need to get back on that wagon soon!!!

[@caylarivera2804]

I am so interested in learning more fiber arts myself, I have been hyperfixating on handspinning yarn. Its a whole rabbit hole if its own, but has been so interesting and feels like magic when can pull some fluff into yarn, like pulling yarn out of thin air. Drop spindles are very affordable and I think easy to learn on. Jillian eve on KZbin have great tutorials for drop spindle spinning if you ever want to try.

[@sourcherry8777]

I have to say, i love these chill vlog/tutorial combos, it's really nice to listen to while working on my own projects. The cardigan is so bright and colorful, I love it!

[@OriMacDonald]

I dont know much about publishing but i did publish a book through Amazon Direct Publishing. It allows the creator to upload a pdf of the book and it is print by order so you dont have to deal with storing your stock. You will also need an ISBN! Hope this helps xx

[@OriMacDonald]

Fuck Jeff Besos but sometimes the most accessible route is beneficial for us artists 😂

[@JuliaOvelha]

Youre so creative!! I wish I could wear my crochet things but its hot here and im insecure... I'll try to make more summer things tho!!

[@Konspiracer]

You are so refreshing and inspirational! PLEASE never STOP!!! I love your perspective on what being an artist is in this realm -

[@ikoxun]

omg “chaotic creator” , i love it

[@tinalin7180]

[@Everythinganime1]

[@Zammy_Norman]

[@danielasarmiento30]

I'd one click buy a crochet book by you so fast!

[@Eli6085-vk4ud]

Nice❤ Could you please do a no sleeved spider top?

[@Nana-chan-gg4rb]

I am so looking forward to that rafting book ❤your Videos are so good for teaching, I can only imagen how good this book would be. Please Please add the pattern for the Cat Beanie and the Sakura Ponch. I would really like to make them, but I prefer a written pattern ❤ any way keep it up but take care of yourself

[@chericreates6572]

I love how the hexagon cardigan turned out!! about how much yarn did yours take? i feel like mine always come out too small bc i underestimate how much yarn I need 😔

[@amyethestslib]

Hii, I love your work! Was the film you're watching on a streaming platform?

[@cambinhnguyen2106]

[@minimi624]

When are you going to do a market

[@LMN-tl8bv]

I cant seem to find your amazon storefront link. Could I please have it? I am looking to purchase crochet related stuff with some spare amazon money.

[@lumewarm]

My husband used to do Duolingo for Japanese as part of his wind down time before bed. Maybe you can do something like that when you're studying

[@ikoxun]

yess i’m downloading it now 🥹

[@VeeWynner]

I'm always hard on myself about my work. I do consider myself an artist but the projects I've done does not feel like my full potential 😕

[@ikoxun]

i feel this 😔 some day soon i hope you feel that your projects reflect your artistry 🥺

[@TheACrochetss]

When are gonna start doing lives again?😢I miss them so much😓😭

[@pandaplays1598]

[@LieneHagenauw]

@@ikoxunOMG I AM CRYING YOU REPLIED TO MY COMMENT I LOVE U SM❤

[@peppapig807]

how come you can wear cotton in the water, but not acrylic?

[@-sky-7321]

Anybody else think abt Darwin and Gumball on that first bikini top 😂

[@Lisa.1.2.3.]

Great video!🫶🏻 The cardigan looks so stunning on you! Do you think I could do one with cotton yarn? Happy pride month btw!!🌈

[@joscilynnpotter9186]

lowkey couldnt you continue the pink shorts then start a few decrease rows a lil elastic and make them into a bloomer bottom

[@roaamomen]

Hiii ilysm since i came early 💗🎀 just a suggestion you can make more vlogs like everyday vlogs doesn't have to be crocheting or knitting cuz girl we miss u sm 😭💗💗( u also don't have to pressure ur self

[@ikoxun]

awwww thank you for the suggestion!

[@haleyc8104]

Do you have a pattern for the colorful cardigan? I have tried making one multiple times and it always comes out too small

[@ikoxun]

I used this tutorial [kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpyoioGIerOHgs0si=QOme_9UpNJ_l2v1h] -- it might be coming out too small if you're using a smaller weight yarn so I'd recommend larger yarn if that was what was causing it!

[@kristinchong629]

The internet frontier. The conglomerating and it’s a good time. 2024. Can we get the Tristan walker collab?

[@MaayanDanYt]

24:00 where is this dress from?!?

[@JeoWonuwoo]

Hiii❤❤

[@ikoxun]

hello

[@mznealy143]

Acrylic is good for water, cotton isn’t because it holds water.
