For necks, I roll up white flannel tightly and sew it at whatever thickness I need. I put it down into the body and to the top of the head. Makes stuffing a little tedious but it has worked for me. All the best with your channel. You do lovely work!

These are a size 😂😂😂 I love all your videos!! When I found your channel I had no idea that you had just recently started! I never would have guessed that. I think you edit your videos very well and I love all the lil video/ meme clips you add in! I’m always smiling and laughing when I watch you. It’s like I’m gossiping with a friend but the topic is crochet lol

[@therumimillcrochet]

Thank you so much! This means a lot! 😍 it’s been a learning curve for sure, but a fun one. I’m relieved that there are more of you that think like me. I try to be serious….but o m g …..it’s sooooooo hard for me. Crochet, and everything, for that matter is always better with a giggle. I’m glad you found me! ❤️❤️❤️

@@therumimillcrochet your videos are so fun and I love the casual realness it’s fun and relatable!!! The jokes about the boo name and all I love it and I’m here for it!! 🎉😂💜

[@thespooniestitcher]

I completely understand your hatred of cotton (100% kind) I have found a couple that are really great but the rest are absolute torture on my hands and shoulders. Team Acrylic! Your makes are always so cute! You find the best patterns. I am an amigurumi designer and YES you can always alter a pattern to fit your needs especially it is just for you or a gift. If you sell you do need to credit the designer but other than that, no problems. I love altering patterns (even my own LOL) to give them a new update or turn them into something specific.

[@therumimillcrochet]

Exactly! There are a very select few, pure cotton yarns I enjoy. If I do go cotton, I always do a blend. Acrylic is definitely my fave too. And yes, adding your own spin to anything is awesome! It truly makes pieces your own. I can’t wait to see what Tots you do for Xmas. 😉🎄♥️

[@eileenmoser7883]

OMG love your sense of humor

[@therumimillcrochet]

Thank you so much. I’m so glad i hopefully made you giggle!😍💗

You just popped up on my suggestions and I love you already, I wanted to laugh so hard but I'm at work 🤫🤫🤫 I'm a new subscriber and I'll be waiting for your new video whenever it comes 😂

[@therumimillcrochet]

Yay!!! So glad you’re here and I giggled imagining you trying not to laugh at work. If I did that…I would start snorting then my snorts turn into other things that draw much more attention than if I had just laughed. 🤣😂 🤦🏻‍♀️ More is to come. 😍💗

[@craftablyeverafter]

Your videos are so enjoyable! And I am now caught up on every one you have made (your first ones are great!). And I have to agree that the people in this crochet community are SUPER nice. I'm also going to be talking about my experience with the Impkins book sometime during this week (I have no schedule...and just like you said, the videos come out when they come out 😅). I found crocheting the Impkin to be an, um...interesting experience. But, more on that later 😊 Also good to hear your thoughts on the TL yarn, I've been itching to get some.

[@therumimillcrochet]

I can’t wait to hear your side of the impkins. They are a mixed bag. And so glad to know having a schedule is hard for the videos. Life….it certainly throws some curve balls. And you are waaaaaaay too kind about the videos, but I certainly appreciate your sweet words. 💗

[@kerriekean7401]

Thanks, Cindy for the fun chat. I too hate cottom but I was given some that had 40% acrylic with the cotton and it was so much easier! So I am just pretending that it is a cotton yarn and using it in patterns that call for cotton-part cotton counts as cotton doesn't it lol!

[@therumimillcrochet]

Good morning!! Yes, blends are where it’s at, for sure. I know so many amigurumi designers LOVE cotton. I will never understand them. 😂 Just a tad bit of another fiber makes a world of difference. So glad you found me! Welcome! 💗

[@andreamagill7034]

Your little critters are so cute 😊

[@user-qb2bv3dq5r]

Thank you,I have a lot of trouble with the impkins. I did not chain 1. I was so mad, made the foot 3 times. Your great 🎉

[@therumimillcrochet]

I’m so glad you found me. 😁💗And yes,those impkin bodies were tough. If you go to ksmomcrochet channel, she created her own new impkin body that is so much easier and still works with all the impkin accessories. I’m planning on using her pattern for a Christmas themed impkin. So glad you’re here. ☺️💗

[@shelleysmith4017]

Just had your video pop up and am delighted that it did. I have subscribed. And I have to say, those early videos, please don’t be ashamed or embarrassed!I have not watched them yet, but just look at it as the learning curve we all take when we try something new. Looking back shows how far you have come in such a short time. Think back when you were learning to crochet, or when you see a beginner…would you be embarrassed or embarrass them for just starting and learning and not being perfect from the start? Of course not, so be gentle on your early videos, you had the guts to do it. And that is a huge positive! So hold your head high with those beginning videos! Love and blessings to you from Scotland, another crocheter in the world with no crochet friends in my area. ❤️

[@therumimillcrochet]

Scotland?!?! Scotland?!? Omg, seriously never gets old knowing that y’all are from all over the world. Thank you for the kind words and encouragement it really does mean so much. How wonderful it is to find such a wonderful community to be a part of…a blessing all the way around. So glad you’re here! 💗💗💗

[@shelleysmith4017]

@@therumimillcrochet I am originally from the US (Vermont), but have lived in the Highlands of Scotland for the last 28 years…more than half my life. When I go back to visit my family, they say I have picked up the Scottish accent but folks here say no, I have a very thick American accent. It is such a beautiful country and although it is a small one, there is such a huge change of scenic beauty types. If you ever get the chance, it is so worth a visit! I still pinch myself that I get to live here. I love the crafting community but especially the crochet community. Most folks are just so friendly, kind, and helpful. I seldom see folks being rude and nasty as I do in almost every other community. When I find myself getting all wound up and am ready to spit nails, I come watch a few crochet videos here on yt or get my crocheting out and listen to an audio book or podcast, and I can feel myself settling back to my gentle self. I am so glad your channel popped up and I look forward to joining in with your channel. I hope you are having a wonderful day! ❤

[@therumimillcrochet]

@@shelleysmith4017 Vermont!!! Vermont!!!! 🤣😉 One of my friends lives there and the photos she posts are breath taking. So, really you have it made on both ends. My 23 and me says I’m 99.2 northern English, Scottish and Irish descent, so basically you’re in my homeland. 🤣 And it’s definitely on my bucket list. My husband has a scotch whiskey that he buys and he gets a square meter of land with each purchase. He keeps wanting to come and view his plots. 🤣😂 I think it’s a perfect excuse to visit. He also works in the oil field and their company has a location in Aberdeen, I love when I get to listen in on the calls. Though some of those Scottish accents are so heavy, I swear they just speak with a mouth full of marbles. 🤣 Crochet definitely brings me peace too. It’s calming and monotonous and I do it well, which I can’t say for all of my crafts, and that just makes me feel better on the days when nothing goes well.

[@shelleysmith4017]

@@therumimillcrochet Lol yes I have been very lucky. And Vt is stunning too, especially in the fall. There is nowhere else that comes close to it for the fall colors! Oh wow, you are proper Celtic! I am a major mutt lol or as my mom used to say, a Heinz 57. Lol. When you decide it is time to visit Scotland, there are a few great inexpensive airlines…KLM is a Dutch one that I highly recommend especially if you have long legs or wide hips as it is the roomiest seats I have found for travel. Iceland Air is my second favorite. Both have a short layover in their home country but not for very long usually. I was home visiting my family this summer and paid under $600 round trip per person flying into Boston. Delta has direct flights from New England but not sure about elsewhere. Air Lingus, an Irish airline says they do direct flights but they don’t really as they have a stop in Ireland and you go through immigration there before getting to the UK. If you choose them, they are quite cheap compared to American Airlines, United, British Airways, etc but just remember if you buy duty free that the shop worker seals the bag. Because your ticket says it is a direct flight, they often don’t and when you get to Ireland they won’t let it go through. I had it happen to me 😢 all I can say is thank goodness yarn isn’t restricted lol as I came back from the US with a suitcase fill in a vacuum pack bag. I am not a whisky fan (bad teenage experience lol), but it is amazing the different whiskies here. You can have two distilleries next to each other and they taste completely different. When Hubby and I first married, I moved over two days after the wedding and for our honeymoon, we spent two weeks exploring my new country. We went to the oldest active distillery and took a special tour. At the end we were given a sample of a 120 year old scotch. I nearly got kicked out of Scotland when I asked if I could have some cola to put in it. The place went so quiet and everyone was looking at me. My hubby laughed loudly and said his new wife was such a joker, while whispering to me to just shut up and drink it 🤣 Once I did, everyone laughed and went back to their own thing. The whisky trail is something I highly recommend following when you guys come over. Your Hubby will be in heaven. The areas often have small bespoke yarn shops where the bigger distilleries are…but yarn here is so much more expensive than back home. Although the more unique wool yarns are so delicious to work with. When we travel, my hubby is a Professor and Research Scientist, so we travel a lot for conferences, I always find a yarn shop to buy a couple skeins of something unique to that country and I find a garden Center to buy seeds to grow something different. Much better than the tourist stuff that just collects dust in my opinion lol. Aberdeen is beautiful although the native Aberdonians have a thick accent that took me ages to understand. When I moved here our elderly neighbor was quite friendly and chatty, he grew up in Aberdeen and never lost that accent. I could not understand a word lol so would not go outside until hubby was home so that he could answer with the gist of the question in it so I could follow along 😂. After a few years I finally got the nack lol. I love that the company gives you a small plot of land, so your hubby is a Laird…most folks think it is a gimmick and it is, but it is also a real title that can be legally used. Oh and depending how long you have to visit (a week is nowhere enough), the Scottish islands are definitely worth a visit too! They are each unique and have their own distilleries also. And gin has become a huge industry here too, so if you like gin, you can get some amazing gins and gin liquore. I would also recommend, if you like scenery, to drive the NC500 (north coast 500) which is 500 miles of the most incredible views. The north of England is also spectacular! The rolling mountains are stunning and the lakes are so beautiful. There is just so much to see and do over here. ❤

[@therumimillcrochet]

@@shelleysmith4017 you are a wonderful wealth of knowledge. I’m betting we could talk all day….and believe me I would pepper you with questions about everything. I’m with you on scotch, whiskey and bourbon…I just can’t. It all tastes like cough syrup to me. Even the smell. There might have been some overindulgence in college. 🤷🏻‍♀️😜There needs to be a lot of fruit juice for me to enjoy it and even then…it’s only ehhhh. But the hubby likes a huge variety of it. You have listed so much wonderful stuff. It’s our hope to go there one day. He’s a Heinz 57. 1/16 Native American and we had always believed that the Smiles name was Indian, turns out it’s actually Scottish. I think it’s been modified through the years but I never would have thought it was Scottish. So we need to visit the homeland. We are gonna need to stay in touch. Because I can see this becoming a tremendous cross continental friendship all tied up with a beautiful yarny bow. 💗💗💗

I haven’t tried it yet because I can’t stop making pumpkins, but FYI. Zsa Zsa is absolutely darling!

[@therumimillcrochet]

Just found you and love your sense of humor! ❤ Elise is the only have other crochet channel I really say I have to watch besides yours. Please keep it up! You make me smile. I agree about the slip stitch, chain one being confusing. I love everything you make!! ❤🥰

[@therumimillcrochet]

Omg! To be on Elise’s level! That’s a huge compliment. She’s one of my must watch videos every week too. Thank you so much for making my day and I hope I made you smile too! 💗💗💗

@@therumimillcrochet You did! I can't wait to see more videos!!

[@gamergranny285]

You rock.. I have used rolled up pieces of cheap felt in necks and legs to give them more structure.. it works.

[@therumimillcrochet]

Thank you so much! That is a great idea, I’m gonna definitely need to try this. 😁

Those impkins are adorable.

Thank you so much! 💗😁

Slip st, ch 1 is more prevalent in classical amigurumi designs.

[@therumimillcrochet]

Good to know. Thank you!😉

[@shannonoliver5414]

I also don’t like using cotton yarn for my amigurumi. It hurts my hands way too much. I like using wool yarn for my amigurumi because it stretches. 😊

[@therumimillcrochet]

I totally agree! Have you tried the berocco vintage? It’s amazing, just expensive and it’s in hanks which is kinda inconvenient. 💕

[@shannonoliver5414]

@@therumimillcrochet Yes. I love Berroco Vintage and Berroco Vintage dk. 😊

Hi, so pleased I found your channel, popped over from Caroline's. The impkins are so cute. I just wanted to mention I find the background music very distracting and it makes it hard for me to hear what you are saying, is there anyway I can turn the music bit off?

[@therumimillcrochet]

Hello, I’m so glad you’re hear. Thanks for letting me know. I will try tweaking the music some more. Sometimes when it uploads the sound changes from my system to KZbin. I appreciate the feedback and glad you’re here. 😉💗

Awe! Hi neighbor! Thanks for being a nice one. I’m on the north side. Glad you’re here! 💗❤️

Hi Cindy! As I'm writing this comment, you are up to 13 comments....if you continue this way, you too are gonna neeed an assistant!!! About the slst, ch 1 I 'm exactly the same way as you, even with a stitch marker, I'm having problem to have the right stitch count. So I NEVER DO IT! Same for cotton yarn. I dont wanna use it for any single amigurumi! . I dont like the look of it, especially in amigurumis. I dont like the feel of it and I wont pay high price for expensice softer cotton. Acrylic is perfect for me ...I do amigurumis for approx 95% of my crochet.. I love your little squirrel🥰🥰🥰

[@therumimillcrochet]

It is a relief to know I’m not alone in my disdain for cotton. I know so many love it, but I just can’t. Can’t. And again those sl ch 1….how is that so confusing? But it is and messes me up sooooooo bad. It’s not worth the torment to even attempt. And….what in the world am I gonna do when I hit 20 comments????🤣🤩 So glad you’re here and I’m in good company. 💗

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I had preordered that impkins book months ago when they finally shipped I got an email that it was damaged and returned to Amazon. So no book for me 😢

[@therumimillcrochet]

Oh no!!! Will they ship you another one? I hope so. I love the book…you just gotta know in advance to tweak as needed. So many neat things in it.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

@@therumimillcrochet when I called about it they just issued a refund. I haven’t checked but her last book sold out fast and took forever to restock.

[@crochet_critters_canada]

Seriously, you can do Impkins without the slst ch1??!!! And they are ok? Hallelujah!! I’m still working on my first one … Ok, is there an alternate way to make the belly WITHOUT that round piece? I hate the round piece 😵‍💫😵‍💫 I’m not experienced enough or confident enough to mod the pattern myself. Help!

[@therumimillcrochet]

Yes!!! I got you girl…. ksmomcrochets.wixsite.com/ksmomcrochets/post/basic-amigurumi-doll-body Go to the link above and my friend Julie, created a pattern without the weird belly and ss. She only has a standing body but it’s a wonderful alternative. ☺️💕
