Idea! What if you did a jumbo turtle but made its shell a lily pad and have a leggy frog sitting on the edge with his little legs hanging off!?😂

[@KatesCrochetChronicles]

I feel like I need to make a bunch of childsized turtles to get through the 20lb polyfil box ha! Also, I feel like dragons are taking over the crochet community early 2024. Way to be a trendsetter

[@andyborland1336]

😂I feel the same HA!

[@kelcicline1748]

[@crochetbygenna]

Hi!💕💕💕

[@mamaciku8387]

Hi Genna, Respect is what I have for you! I have been crocheting for 51 yrs and just tried amigurumi for the first time. I made the bee that sitts up. It was hard. Especially the antennae and the sewing. It was a good experience because I learned a lot and hopefully my next project will come out better. I don't advise using black yarn as you can't see what you're doing. I love your channel. Happy New Year!❤

[@kinleye]

Happy New Year!! Omg! Hi genna!! I absolutely love your videos and you are the reason I actually started crocheting! Thank you for all the joy you bring to my day! Hope you have a wonderful day!!!!♡♡

[@crochetbygenna]

Omg this makes me so happy!! Im so excited for you to start your crochet journey😭💕 have a wonderful day too!!

[@s0ggy.br3ad]

I just saw your video where you make and pack your largest order to date, and it inspired me to buy your giant turtle pattern. I’ve found the yarn, and I’ve already picked out the colors and I can’t wait for the yarn to get here so I can start! I’ve been crocheting for a bit less than a year and all I’ve made so far is amigurumi, (i haven’t even learned a granny square) but I’m already proud of what i can make. This will be my largest creation yet, and I’ve never worked with yarn this chunky before. Thank you for inspiring me!❤

[@CrochetundertheMoon]

Hi genna we love you so much happy new year and congratulations on 60k you really deserve it

[@traceyhinton9662]

I’m going to be doing that on Thursday

[@julieann5196]

All your makes are super. The turtle with the bow and heart are super cute and the one with the lady bug is so adorable.

[@TheCornyHookerCo]

I'm obsessed with that sunflower and ladybug turtle!!

[@charityscrochetcreations]

Hi Genna! Yay! I love your videos!

[@crochetbygenna]

Thanks so much💕

[@daydreamcreationsbygiselle]

[@hii3215]

I love your videos Genna! You inspired me to start crocheting! I’m going to make the human sized turtle once my yarn gets here! Btw, the turtles look adorable when you do your hug checks!😊 Hope you see this comment!

[@annacalvillo4161]

[@crochetbygenna]

Yes!💕

[@andyborland1336]

Genna❤ can you pretty please Make me a… human sized valentines tertal 🎉 I’m so excited 😊please make it with a rainbow pastel bow

[@theteapote]

Hey Genna! Thanks so much for your cozy videos, they're my favourite to watch these days while crochetting or having a cup of tea ❤ I just wanted to ask, in your opinion is there a really high risk of getting an Etsy shop shut down ? I see so many of these videos popping up about sellers who sound like they had a traumatic experience with Etsy and their shop was shut for months. I'd love to try and open my own shop and see where it goes but this just scares me so much 😅 thanks for reading ❤

[@pendragofan]

heres an idea change the shape of the shell to be a heart and still keep the bow?

[@yanettmac]

congratulations with the 60 k .I love you

[@erikahalverson5205]

I know the turtle with the bow is for V-day, but it could totally be for Oct for breast cancer awareness month. Super cute plushies. Love watching your videos.

[@colleensmanjak756]

I've made one Dragon for my self and it was confusing at first and I then understood and at the moment I'm working on a Dragon order to and I'm so excited for how it turned out

[@crochetbygenna]

I cant wait for you to finish it!💕

[@colleensmanjak756]

Thx

[@Yarnfrogart]

i am so exited to watch!

[@crochetbygenna]

Hehe tysm💕

[@lindasakseide282]

Even though I have yet to make an amigurumi, I really love your videos. You have so many good advice, and you are so positive and likable. I especially have made great use of your videos about starting av Etsy-shop and your tutorial for the Tom Daley riffled stitched sweater. I am just starting out myself with the Etsy-shop that I put up yesterday. Excited but kind of "terrified" at the same time. In one of my first KZbin-videos I mention you as one of my three favorite crocheters on KZbin, together with Jenna Phipps and Passionknit Kelsie. I am always looking forward to seeing the next video form you, and hopefully I will be doing an amigurumi at some point. I especially love your turtles with the sun-flower shell.

[@SamuelHensley]

i love your sweater in the intro!!! please link it in the next video.

[@user-gx6hc4np2r]

Crochetmezaddy mentioned your bow turtle!

[@robynwhitney5295]

I'm not as crazy about the heart on the turtle but that bow is the bomb!! You nailed that one! I think the size is fine but will see when you put a smaller one on. Great job Genna ❤

[@crochetbygenna]

[@candiestrahan5189]

[@Janski06]

Love your video content. I look forward to the new year with you 🥳💕

[@zebra_cakes9790]

I'm a new follower on KZbin, Instagram and Etsy. I actually placed an order this week for a Jumbo Sunflower Turtle for my niece's birthday, the one with a little side flower. Her name is Sophia and we share a birthday March 1st. 😅 You also convinced me to order two THE COMFY Teddy Bear sweater things like the one from your video. One for me and one for my sister (Sophie's mom). Really enjoying watching your videos and can't wait to order more plushies from your shop. 😊

[@DianaSchneider1]

Love your channel, tutorials, and your energy! ❤ Is there a specific child size turtle pattern? It appears to be in-between the jumbo and human-sized turtle. Love the Valentine bow turtle too!❤

[@God_is-good-forever-and_always]

So beautiful ❤️

[@crochetbygenna]

Tysm💕💕💕

[@God_is-good-forever-and_always]

[@ellajones1637]

Would you be willing to do a video on what program you use on ur ipad to download patterns to, that also allowed you to edit them and make notes? I have several patterns I need one place for so i'm not having to go searching. Thank you!

[@Eli-og6my]

[@crochetbygenna]

Aww thank you so much💕

[@user-vn5wn4fs3n]

You are so inspiring, love your channel. Do you order your yarn from Premier directly?

[@sodapopcurtis356]

Hey, Genna, would you do a video about how taxes work as a small business on Etsy. This is going to be my first time doing taxes for my crochet business and I’m nervous 😬

[@crochetbygenna]

Tbh Im nervous too!🙈 I highly recommend getting an accountant/professional to help!

[@Junglejewelry]

I you have any scrap yarn can you do a crocheting with scrap yarn vid I would love that❤ also love your videos ❤❤

[@simplymontika]

Hello Queen, Happy 2024! I have a suggestion (more of a request) First I would like to say. I enjoy watching your content. Now would like for you to put a 2024 challenge out for all you crochet's to purchase a large storage container maybe 2 or 3 so you can rotate between crafts. Therefore you won't get bored. 🙂. #2024InventoryStockpile fill the bins up with 1 item you work on as much as possible and record you doing so, go live. Also, please can y'all show you making them from start to finish no time lasp. Some of us would actually enjoying getting the entire experience. Also, I would love for you crafters to make your inventory in every color possible in your stock and them going to the store to purchase what you do not have. Everyone has a favorite color just because you don't like it or it may not sell right away it will. We would like to see you guys offering more mystery bags. Some of us like a mystery 😁. Last thing please stop getting rid of things that you make a mistake on make a basket and call them the unique misfits w/ a note even misfits need love. Stop dropping your price on them you still spent the same amount of time and money etc assembling them. Thank you for reading my suggestions. I hope to see it go into effect. If not, I do understand. I will be sending out to a couple other. Once again thanks in advance and I can't wait to see your newest video. 💜

[@user-ik1kl4or5f]

64 degrees I’m in 32 and that’s sooooo hot for me in Australia

[@sofiamoran6812]

Hi Genna I love your videos and I was wondering what brand of yarn you use for all your plushies? Also I love your videos!❤

[@vxell9096]

Hi Genna! I had a question about premier yarn, I just started crocheting, and really love the look of the yarn! The only issue is I just started crocheting, and I have no clue about the stitch definition with premier yarn, and cannot crochet if the stitches are not easily visible lol! Just wanted to know if it had good stitch definition or bad before I bought some. Thanks a lot!

[@bettymunguia2136]

Hello 😊

[@crochetbygenna]

Hi!💕

[@estherrobles8165]

Hiii i love your videos soooo much i was hoping if you could please do a cow crochet tutorial i wanna make my first cow amigurumi im 14 and i crochet. Btw i subscribed thanks for your awsome videos and i hope you make tutorial for that cute monster thats sleepy

[@Swifty10000]

I have a question... when you do the custom orders, do they pay after or before you make it?

[@BloxyGirlsXx]

WHAT PATTERN DID YOU UES FOR THE DRAGON I NEED ONEEEE Edit I love your video

[@crochetbygenna]

Aww thanks so much! I put the link to the dragon pattern in the google doc💕

[@jackolanterns]

Great content like always genna!! I need to ask though when crocheting the customer order, the puppy. I’m so curious when you have the head and body done, I noticed you closed the plush and didn’t have the eyes on yet. I sometimes really struggle to get the eye placement just right, and wish I could just do it after but I find that the safety eyes have to be put on before. How are you doing that??? If you don’t mind sharing, my mind is so blown right now trying to figure it out lol

[@ane7195]

I love your patterns so much, can you possibly do a few patterns for free?!?!?!! Please!! Love your channel!!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@barbaralewis4893]

Hi Babydoll Genna❤️ I have an idea for the HEART ON THE TURTLE ❣️❣️Make the heart the size you want, BUT MAKE ONLY ONE SIDED SO IT CAN BE THEN SEWED ON PARTIALLY, THEN STUFFED GETTING THE LOOK YOU WANT THEN FINISH ATTACHING IT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️That way it would not stick up so high & look odd‼️I hope I’ve explained this well enough for you to get my idea‼️⁉️⁉️‼️AS ALWAYS, I LOVES YA’ BUNCHES & MORE, BARB

[@crochetbygenna]

Thanks so much!! Appreciate all the feedback 😭💕💕💕

[@crochetbygenna]

[@felicitybreianne]

Hi! How did you do the petals for the jumbo turtles? I messaged the pattern owner on Etsy and they said they hadn’t created petals for the jumbo turtle yet, and I suck at adjusting a pattern for size. I’d love to know what you did so I can make one for my sister. 🥺🫶🏻

[@shirlcraig19]

Hi I love your turtles but do you have a pattern with no sew for the head and fins. I have made the sew ones but would love to make the same one with no sew.
