This is so cool! I should give this a try this fall/winter. I would wear something like this as a warm headband/ear warmer as well! 😊

[@TwinkieChanTV]

It's kind of heavy in crochet and bulky yarns but definitely a fun project!

[@TheConfettiDress]

I have so much yarn from past knitting projects I've been wanting to use up! Looks like I'm learning how to crochet!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

I love when people can do both!

[@kirstenspear6952]

Thank you for the great tutorial, Twinkie Chan! I've always knitted, but learned how to crochet from your first book after seeing the buttered toast scarf. I get so many compliments on that thing! I'm half way through the banana for a banana split pillow. Thank you for being your awesome self!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Thanks so much Kirsten!!! You picked a really big project (banana split), but I know you will love the result!!!

[@azurafae]

I want to try this. The variegated colors are lovely.

[@DadaAlano]

I use a color pencil tube to wind my yarn :) I use my insulin pen sometimes too ._.

[@thethriftyfawn]

This is absolutely delightful! Just subscribed last night- I had been watching your channel back in 2014-2016, and the cupcake dishcloth is something that is still on my bucket list lol I'm actively TRYING to learn crochet now and so glad I came back here! Feel free to post a new video whenever you feel up to it and whenever time permits! Fawn ❤️

[@EmsIsFab]

Love the ball winding tutorial! I usually will ball up the larger skeins, like for example Red Heart the GIANT balls bigger than your head, so that it's easier for travel, but I never knew how to make it center pull!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Yay! I'm glad it helped!!!!

[@maaikejongkamp-dereiger4785]

Hi Twinkie, so nice to see a new video! I am going to make this scarf but in a different form. When it's finished I'll show you. I love your work, you're an inspiration.

[@TwinkieChanTV]

I would love to see it!

[@anibird3144]

Hi sweet pea, I have missed you so much! Glad to see your book is out.. Getting it tomorrow. love this scarf. I too would like to see the Donut Ottoman. Everything you do is great .so happy for you! TFS xxoo Debbie

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Thank you, Debbie!!!

[@rinirino]

I would love to see the banana split pillow tutorial. :D I am not good with reading patterns. I do need to learn though, but I'm just more of a visual person. :D

[@dianastewart6684]

Thank you so much. New to you on KZbin, so will watch your otber videos. Thanks, again!!!!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Thanks for watching, Diana!

[@kbrathwai]

Thank you Ms. Twinkie , I'm in progress with the waffle dishcloth and I will let b you know that for the next project I will be doing a cherry pie seat cushion. God bless you and Bibi.

[@melissacaldwell5598]

Awesome, I love it!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+Melissa Caldwell Yay!!!!

[@GenTikki]

Love it 😍

[@jemmacolgan1696]

I got your book from Amazon and am currently making a banana split pillow! Thank you for being so awesome.

[@TwinkieChanTV]

YAY! Did you finish?

[@jemmacolgan1696]

I haven't finished it yet. I had a few people ask me to make baby gifts so will get back to it once they are done. Will defo # you on Instagram once it's done. X

[@7peacefrog]

I am so glad that I found this and you I have made a chain scarf before, but not like this (you are the best!) and I love your dog and cone :) This is really cute and I too knot I think that I always want to be sure I love yours and I would like to find some of that fancy yarn with the flowers in it So cool and thank you for sharing this!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+7peacefrog The fancy yarn (Knit Collage) is really expensive but feels like treasure!

[@rachy11051981]

I love this scarf . and ps your dog is so cute xx

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Thank you so much!

[@chelsiemalfoy]

Bibi

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+chelsiemalfoy Hahah re: Bibi ;). I usually weave the beginning tail in. I'm pretty confident about that part not un-crocheting itself!

[@kbrathwai]

Hi Ms. Twinkie, just to let you know that I have already purchased Lion Brand Color Clouds yarn and I also have a M crochet hook so I will plan to do the color link scarf for the holidays and just one thing, I already completed the fried egg and the coffee cup dishcloth from the book and they both came out great! so thank you for the book and the scarf and may God bless you and Bibi.

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Yay!!! I"m so glad you are having fun with the book! Thank you, Karen!

[@DorianGrimlock5]

I LOVE that candy-striped rainbow yarn -- also, yes, I'm definitely pro-knots. Aww, Bibi, hope she's well -- I know she had an angry dog lump taken off not too long ago, I though of her/you when I took my dog in cause he had a lump recently (I was very thankful it was just a fatty deposit). I've always wanted to crochet some chain link thing and for SOME reason I was thinking I would have to like, crochet the link around the previous one -- duh, no, of course not. As for a tutorial from the book -- unpopular opinion, but I would love to see the waffle dishcloth! Just because the only way I really understood the front post stitches on your cupcake dishcloth was watching your video on that.

[@louisacarroll9508]

awwww Bibi! 💜💜💜

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+Louisa Carroll Hee heeeeeeeee that part cracks me up so much!

[@kelleyjogirl]

I love your new book! I would love to see some tutes from it. I'm not a new crocheter, and I have no trouble reading patterns, but I still really enjoy watching tutorials, 'cause I'm a nerd like that. :) I definitely want to make the banana split pillow, but the corn dog pen cozies will definitely be on my hook at some point too, so if they have some trickier techniques, I'd vote for them.

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Thanks so much! I've been really busy and haven't been able to film any tutorials. Hopefully that will change soon...

[@dianamay6017]

That is awesome

[@oo0OJackieO0oo]

I'm making one with a grey yarn, thanks for the tutorial!!!!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

You're welcome!! I will def experiment with other yarns in the future. Mine came out super heavy!

[@ErosZoe]

Just bought your new book!! (loved the other one) plus another awesome tutorial! you rock!!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+Alicia Glende Yay! Thanks so much!!!

[@chelsiejimerson9622]

I'm hoping to receive your book for my birthday in August!!!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+Chase Williams My fingers are crossed for you!!!

[@aaryadoshi537]

I would like to either see the donut or the banana split. I love those!

[@emmadeo5315]

For the one pattern from your book, I would say the giant donut Ottoman!

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+Emma Deo Thank you for your feedback!!! It seems to be the popular vote!

[@2012iwanttogohome]

TFS! I must make this for my daughter! 💗

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+2012iwanttogohome Mine turned out really heavy!! hehe. But you can always experiment with a lighter weight yarn :)

[@misslashondacade6973]

I saw your yummy-looking scarf in "Fuller House"

[@TwinkieChanTV]

Yay!! Awesome!!!!

[@style_icon997]

I don't have a lot of bulky weigh yarn. Could lighter yarn with a smaller hook work just as well?

[@TwinkieChanTV]

It would definitely work, but your links will be much much smaller.

[@kimberlytaft276]

I vote for the giant donut ottoman.

[@TwinkieChanTV]

+Kimberly Taft This seems to be very popular. Now imagining myself being filmed straddling the donut while stuffing it and sewing it together .... hehehheeh

[@kimberlytaft276]

+TwinkieChanTV LOL!!!!

[@bleusilver990]

Which yarn are you using in tutorial

[@TwinkieChanTV]

I talk about all the yarn I use in the video.

[@vrenbendanillo2296]

what size hook are you using

[@TwinkieChanTV]

I used an M hook.

[@azurafae]

Also, I always knot off my crochet, before weaving the tails.

[@bleusilver990]

Ouch!!!😬 I have ADHD.
