How much can I crochet in ONE HOUR (two failed attempts lol) ✸ crochet with me amigurumi edition

[@crochetbygenna]

Hey everyone!! I hope you enjoy this video, I can't wait to share the free tutorial for the octopus later this week

[@BIOHAZARDzz642]

Can't wait to see! I am so confused on my jellyfish. Talk to you later. Your plushies are adorable.❤🎉

[@TheOnlyCallie]

OMG when i saw your dogs name i was like oh my gosh thats my name!!

[@andyborland]

❤ love you Genna!!!!

[@knotmaiyarn]

Now I kinda want to test myself like this too! Fun fact: the plural for octopus is both octopi and octopuses. :)

[@crochetbygenna]

Oh my gosh no way!!!! I always thought it was octopi! I'll definitely be saying octopuses from now on hahah thank you!! and yesss, its so fun to test yourself, but in my case, it made me very sloppy xD

[@mtcheung2637]

Octopi is incorrect because octopus is not from Latin it's roots are in the Greek language.

[@lynbattersby]

There are actually three plurals of octopus considered correct given the origins of the word: octopuses (English), octopi (Latin), and octopode (Greek). Interestingly, my keyboard is automatically correcting to octopuses 🐙 every time. I have to force it to accept the alternatives.

[@iffy.the.indecisive]

And Octapodes!

[@susanlangford3340]

I timed myself (I’m a very new beginner) and I could do one in an hour and twenty. I’m sure I could do a little better now after making 8, but it’s going to take me a while before I can do one in an hour.

[@madiiewilloughby9739]

Ive been crocheting for 20 years i started at 7 when my nan taught me how to make a continuous granny square blanket but anything after that i watched videos then i taught myself how to read a pdf pattern and now im writing my own patterns. Your videos are great to watch whilst crocheting.

[@crochetbygenna]

Aww so happy you enjoy watching!! Thats so impressive you’ve been crocheting for so long and are self taught ❤️

[@nefertitimontoya]

Wait omg I just realized your channel is only like 2 months old and you already have so many videos!!! Congrats on the productivity 🎉

[@crochetbygenna]

Hehe thank you!! I honestly love filming/video editing so pairing that with crochet has been so great in terms of getting videos out! xD

[@CherryWanders]

YAY for leg sitters! I started crocheting in January and literally uttered the same words on Monday, "Crochet is killing my back." Also just did my own pattern for a mom octopus because of the lack of tentacles I liked. I wanted twisties but still have the webbing close to the body. Still trying to finesse that.

[@crochetbygenna]

Hahah that's so funny, everyone is going through the same posture struggles😂 Good luck with your mama octopus pattern! I love the twistie look

[@kimkardashianslostearrings173]

I feel like i'm the only one who takes 2 hours to finish like... 1/3 of my piece 💀 and BTW, love the video!! They help me stay motivated and the octopi looks so so cuteeee!! love themm

[@crochetbygenna]

Hahaha I totally feel you, I was going speedy in this video but usually Im way slower too😂 and aww thank you soo much!❤️

[@monasnow]

SAME. Im crocheting for 3,5yrs and I'm sooooo slow, I'm done with myself XD

[@charwivr]

It took me 5 hours to finish my beanie 😅

[@Theplushietheater]

@@charwivrit takes me an hour with a MACHINE 💀💀

[@Mango--Mochi]

You are amazingly fast at crocheting! Your videos keep me motivated to start new projects, and as a beginner crocheter, I love your tutorials. You are incredible!

[@knotsnotbots]

I was so happy to see that we can sell finished products as long as we reference who the pattern was made by for these octopi ! It’s such a cute pattern!

[@crochetbygenna]

Aww thank you!! Yes ofc!❤️

[@jenjenz95]

The editing (and crocheting) skills in this is just *chef’s kiss*

[@crochetbygenna]

you are the sweetest

[@marianapires8939]

mine new favorite way to spend my time is to watch your videos while i crochet, keep going you are amazing and super cute ❤

[@crochetbygenna]

ohh my gosh stop this made my day :') you are too sweet, thank you soo much!! so glad you enjoyed!

[@DanielleRoy23]

These octopi are so cute! Also, rounds is correct. When you're working without turning, you're working in rounds. When you turn your work and go back and forth, that's working in rows.

[@crochetbygenna]

Ahh of my gosh! This makes sense, thank you for letting me know!! And thanks so much :)

[@nefertitimontoya]

You literally have such calming and wholesome vibes

[@crochetbygenna]

Aww thank you so much :')

[@CK-yl9ep]

Hi Genna, I just saw your videos for the first time after getting back into crochet. I am currently watching while working on a sweater. Thanks for the chill videos to watch while working on my project!

[@crochetbygenna]

Awww I love this message, so glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for watching❤️❤️

[@allycantspell8111]

I agree with what u said about the octopus tentancles in other patterns. Thats why ive never tried to make one... i rlly like how they look in your pattern tho! Maybe thatll be my next project ;)

[@crochetbygenna]

aww thank you!!! yesss, tutorial video for the octopus is dropping next :D

[@whitwat]

My first ever crochet project was a crochet octopus, I’m OBSESSED with this video ❤😊

Aww thanks so much!! Octopi are the best!

[@sophwolf3593]

i just randomly stumbled across your channel and im so happy i did! excited to watch your channel grow :)

[@crochetbygenna]

Awww thank you soo much!! So glad you enjoyed watching so far🥰

[@aprilballard4798]

Love your channel! You're so cute! You've inspired me to dig out my long-forgotten velvet yarns to crochet with. I've only used them a couple years ago to make pumpkins on my Addi machine. They've just been sitting in the bottom of my yarn bins.

[@crochetbygenna]

Awww thank you so much! And oh my gosh I love this hehe have fun reuniting with the velvet yarn -- it's my fave to crochet with!

[@alexbugarin1089]

I can't believe you've only been crocheting for a year. I've been crocheting for three years now and I just made my first pattern and just now considered the thought of selling my work. It's likely that you were crocheting a lot more on average in that one year than I was in the past three years though. I feel like the possibility of selling my crochet work has revamped my interest again and now I have a million things that I want to make for my first market next week in addition to a million things that I added to my queue to make for myself.

[@bananacar4215]

I've been crocheting for a couple months ago and I'm making a huge blanket and some scrunchies, a cute little blanket for a toddler I know, 😍 and an owl❤❤I love crocheting!!

[@crochetbygenna]

Awww omg I love all those projects!! Crochet really is the best 💕

[@emilyjankowski2412]

This was such a fun video! I can’t wait for the tutorial 😊

[@crochetbygenna]

Ahh thanks so much!!! excited to share it soon

[@stephanhanus7514]

For 1. Do you sell the pattern?, for 2. and 3. A round in crochet aka rnd is when you do not connect at the end, but a row has a stitch that you do a slip stitch into aka slst to end the row so they are different but I would have never known you didn't know that if you didn't mention it bc your such a fast and talented crocheter, also I love those octopi! ❤❤❤

[@DazyLane]

My dog just tapped my phone screen with her chin and now I'm watching this video. I guess my dog likes crochet 😂

However… Don’t worry about us much to that point hun~ I rather this channel and audience NOT* stress you, because the way you are is lovely and I rather enjoy watching have fun~ while teaching/learning more about your passion and craft, and felt I needed to communicate this with you, right off hun~ Thank you for uploading and sharing your creations with us 😘.

[@junerae8164]

Octopi, octopods, and octopuses! I prefer octopi, as I think it’s more professional, but I love all of the alternatives’

[@acraftyseason1007]

Octopuses is actually correct 🤣 but octopi is acceptable as well. I love this pattern. It's so cute😊. May i ask what hook you are using? I mean style of hook not size.

[@crochetbygenna]

Hahahaha oh my gosh I never knew😂😂 I definitely prefer saying octopuses so thanks😂😂 Im using a hook that I got from Hobby Lobby! It’s a metal with a soft grip if that helps!

[@acraftyseason1007]

@@crochetbygenna it does thank you. They both just sound weird to me🤣 but i think octopuses is definitely more natural feeling to say😊. Love your channel, glad i found you🤗

Hi Genna, I enjoy watching your videos. Can you tell me any tips on starting out with selling? How do you sell wholesale and do you need a selling permit? Thanks. 😀

[@followingmydreams240]

if you happen to read this a great way to learn to read patterns is to find a pattern that also has a video so you can follow both and you can see what the pattern means. that is how i learned

[@amylongtocrochet]

Oh I am impressed! Not sure I could get 3 done!

[@crochetbygenna]

Aw thank you!!

[@andreabeian3492]

Such a great content! Thank you so much for being such an inspiration, keep on going with the good work ❤❤

[@crochetbygenna]

Awww this is so sweet, thank you so much Andrea

[@josiejoyscreations]

There is a difference between a row and a round. A row is when you go in a straight line. For example if you were to crochet a blanket or a scarf you would crochet in rows because you would crochet to the end of the row, ch, turn your work, and crochet another row. A round however is when you work in a spiral or circle like what you are doing. So you are calling it correctly.

[@crochetbygenna]

Thank you soo much for explain it!😭❤️

[@CrochetandTea]

So sweet, looks like a cute dumbo octopus 🐙 😊

[@crochetbygenna]

Hehe aww thanks so much for watching and following❤️❤️ I usually try and support my neck when I crochet now so leaning against the couch or something which I found helps with my posture and back😅 and I usually watch netflix or other youtubers hehe!

According to the Reef Doc on KZbin, both plurals of octopus are correct. So feel free to use octopuses! 🐙 🐙

Good to know!! Thank you so much❤️

[@brunettebelle]

I just started crocheting 5 days ago now, and I have a lot of trouble with sewing in ends, it all confuses me! Do you have any tips? (your plushies are so cute by the way)

[@crochetbygenna]

hello!! thank you soo much ❤️ and omg this confused me so much too when I first started. You basically just want to weave the end in and out of your plushie to make it nice and secure. Then cut your tail and use your sewing needle to poke the leftover end into your plushie to hide it!

[@brunettebelle]

@@crochetbygenna thank you so much! This is a lot more helpful advice than any of the tutorials I watched 😂

[@livreneé136]

Genna, You should save your yarn scraps and use it to stuff your plushies. (Just a tip😊)

What yarn do you use

[@crochetbygenna]

Bernat velvet❤️

The plural for octopus is octopuses. This is because it's derived from Greek, and not Latin.
