I crocheted cats for 10 hours

[@Justalittetattered]

I’m lucky to crochet one item a day. I could never imagine doing that much in 10 hours. The cats all turned out great but I think the first one is my favorite.

[@karakay540]

Props for making the most realistic crochet challenge video!

[@FlufferKnots]

That's hilarious, your pillow is just a baby boppy with clips. On a side note those kitties are adorable!

[@minini5571]

Yes! I use my daughter’s Boppy. I think it’s better stuffed than the pillows made for crocheting.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@simplymadebyhand]

Oh my I just made a video like this where I crocheted for a hour but ten hours is pure insanity I could never crochet for that long 😂😂😂

[@hooksandheelers]

LOL I definitely had a lapse in judgement with this video idea😂😭

[@Alanab1838]

My back starts to hurt when I crochet for too long! 🤣

[@stefaniefreeman7541]

I'm so glad you added in the part about being in pain and needing a break. Its so important to listen to your body. People need to know, especially new to crochet that 10 hours strait is not normal and to listen to their body and take breaks

[@sandramacarthur590]

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who has to remind themselves to lower their shoulders and relax. 😄

[@TheSillyCobs]

SAME HAHA! Because of me doing that SOOO much yesterday one of my bones were sticking out. It's better today atleast x

[@PataPtichou]

I’m crocheting a sweater rn and I had to lower my shoulders every time she mentionned her own shoulders 😂

[@TheSillyCobs]

@@PataPtichou lol! How's your sweater turning out?

[@PataPtichou]

@@TheSillyCobs I'm doing a "Taylor Swift inspired" sweater (like the famous dress but way shorter because there is no way I spend months and that much €€€ on this haha) and only 2 colors and it's quite cute but I'm just at 2/3 of the first panel so it's just the beginning! What's on your hook rn?

[@TheSillyCobs]

@@PataPtichou A loaf cat also I have a sweater I need to finish of, I don't have enough yarn though! Love the idea how you done a Taylor swift inspired one!

[@kaymastclinic2171]

As always live your video on the cat challenge. The cat that tried to burn you out is still cute. I love all the cats you made. Totally agree with the velvet tiny cat…I could cuddle him all day…no shedding 😅

[@ad0rbsxleahx]

That is such a cute idea!! 💡 🫶🏼🐈 Love how you do the shelter cats and the load cats are absolutely adorable! 🐈🍞🐈‍⬛💡

[@sunflowers2838]

Love the siamese cat and the shelter cat. Adorable

[@HeyItsBolt]

The purple cat could become an inspiration of the Cheshire Cat off Alice and wonderland!

[@teria9919]

Yes, I totally notice a difference in thickness in yarn, even bernat. And now I must make a velvet loaf cat! So cute!

[@lwoody1998]

I seriously clicked on this video as soon as I opened youtube today haha. Currently working on my loaf cats as well.

[@leoandstitchcrochet1]

I’m going to be brutally honest.. I’m a dog person BUT I love these cats!! Especially the gray one!!!❤

[@NoraBadry]

ADORE 💖💖💖 I think my favourite is the first one, moss green and definitely the teeny darling velvet one 😍

[@Krystynanews]

My fav cat is definitely the purple one. It is sooo cute!❤

[@jema8192]

Fun video, love loaf cats!

[@Theprodigypenguin]

I have made SO many little velvet penguins! I love velvet yarn!

[@dramdarmody7239]

Very cute! My fave is the siamese, it looks realistic 👏🏻 I’ve been wearing copper arm bands when i crochet and it’s really helped with fatigue and crochet elbow.

[@HoofnIt03]

OMG!!! The velvet loaf cat! 😍😍😍

[@SoupyTimeCrafts]

LOVED seeing the inclusion of adoptable cats. They deserve so much love

[@katrinamalcolm8727]

I think you did a beautiful job on your cats. Too adorable. 😊

[@sunflowr0803]

The tiny shiny cat is adorable!

[@hooksandheelers]

Thank you!! He’s my favorite!!

[@barbaraproscia3275]

What is the name of the velvet yarn you used?

[@chloeadams6012]

Hey Annie I love you videos. Thanks for makeing the great work

[@hooksandheelers]

Aww thank you so much, that means the world to me!! Thanks for watching (:

[@ZubedaSings]

6mm is my fave for loaf cats...I don't have Bernat over in the UK but works nice tight stitches for Hobbii Baby Snuggles, Honey Bunny or Toucan

[@Theprodigypenguin]

Remy is a paid actor 😂❤️ I love him so much. I smashed my finger in the car door so I technically shouldn't be crocheting, cuz it hurts SO bad, but in hindsight watching crochet videos is not helping cuz it just makes me want to work on my projects. I gave Xmas presents to make, ugh!

[@Theprodigypenguin]

Noooo I LOVE him!

[@laboome531]

I honestly love working with velvet! Idk why it doesn't get more love.

[@yarnchickenkim]

Your video is giving me so much inspiration for how I make my loaf cats. I just made my first solid grey one. I don’t think i can stop at 1 or 10. Haha

[@rookbishop8436]

One of our cats, Chainsaw, is grey and very small, so I was very excited about the tiny velvet loaf cat! I just kept looking at Chainsaw and going "It's you!"

[@rebiildiko]

Hi Annie! Can u make a tutorial for the loaf cat please? I really need it🥺

[@kittenwiskerz299]

Yes, about the Bernat blanket yarn! Just noticed today at Walmart how different colour have different textures. Some are softer and squishier while others feel more dense (which I find harder to work with - it's like the yarn doesn't glide as nicely). I'm still pretty new to this crochet/amigurumi thing..🙄

[@Rptreasureshop]

Oh my goodness 😍 I'm making a bunch of them 💞!!!! I love it ❤️😍

[@ladyroseanne]

I wish I could crochet that fast! LOL. You are really talented. Keep ir up.

[@hooksandheelers]

Thank you so much!! 🩷🩷

[@mackenziemcconnell8882]

Yes! I have to be able to touch bernat blanket before I buy! Sometimes the texture stops me from buying a color I love 😭

[@floofsboy]

I am in love with the purple multi cat!!❤ I need to get that colorway! I’m glad to see you took a break, I have a bad habit of not taking enough of em! 😅 I’m currently in pain because I’m making a bunch of turtles I promised for my Saturday market🫣

[@thegingeecrochets]

6 mm hook for the win! That's what I use for my cats too 😺also, a hard yes on the Bernat textures. I try to pick out the really soft ones, because some are so scratchy and honestly a pain to work with. I recommend trying the plush or baby bear from big twist too! those are great

[@kayleneforrester9383]

crochetbygenna is going to have a loaf cat challenge on the 26th too!

[@chantaleperron]

Hello! I LOVE yours videos! Really, asking yourself to crochet with BLANKET yarn for 10 straight hours is NOT a good thing!😉😄So I'm very happy you choose to take breacks, go outside , move a little bit, eat, etc. If you cant crochet cuz you''re hurting, nobody is winning!!!! The cat with the white nose and the rest solid color is ma FAV😍...I just bought this pattern and actually making it with regular chenille yarn...but you succeed in inspiring me to do a Velvet one!!!

[@ayanadixon4763]

I have that exact skein of purple bernath yarn. Looks like I just found my next project.

[@xuankhainguyenle823]

Tutoriel Plsss

[@KelliHediger]

I like the loaf cat pattern. My favorites are the shelter cat and the mini.

[@todaysfixation]

I just made one like this too 😂❤ And yeah sometimes bernat is different for some reason. I think the ones that vary in color are different like the big twist

[@anissadickerson8093]

If you have any Toucan Lite I would highly recommend a loaf cat with that 😍 it is so little and adorable and it reminds me of your velvet one 🥰

[@Cayla_McL]

I love bernat blanket yarn but each color is defiantly a different texture. Some are super soft and others are a bit stiff

[@mandiconnell3311]

Oh my gosh the tiny one 🥹

[@hooksandheelers]

I still can't get over the cuteness!! hehe

[@ad0rbsxleahx]

You should make velvet mini loaf cat keychains!! 🐈

[@DaianeOliveira-m9l]

Hey! I love this loaf cat!

[@susanhum7156]

How did you do the tail?

[@Margot_Lazarus]

What a fun video! Glad you went about the crocheting as you did because injury and burnout are not worth it over a youtube video. I'm fairly new to your channel but I enjoy it a lot so I'm really happy you're being smart with yourself and how you can do a challenge video. Lastly, is one of your dogs a blue merle pattern? Cause it looked like it. I'm only asking cause I have a blue merle Aussie so I thought I was recognizing the pattern.

[@StephanieUllom-eu9qe]

How long did it take for you to learn how to make these because I can't do it I don't understand how people do it but I just learned how to crochet.

[@kittenwiskerz299]

Which velvet yarn did you use for the "kitten" loaf at the end? Is it hard to see stitches when using it? (I've tried Premier Just Chenille but it was so hard to see the stitches..😥)

[@alicebenson8607]

Do you cut the yarn when u change colors?

[@SpiritofaGrandmother]

I tried working in velvet but I have so much trouble finding the stitches :( Any tips or tricks?

[@CieloSoriaEscobar]

Omg please please make a video tutorial on the loaf cats, I am dying to make one so bad please 🥺🙏

[@robbieoverby1694]

Get a shoulder support. You can find them online or a medical supply. There are different styles

[@Evelyn-ru4bl]

What do you do about pricing since the small ones take just as much time? I love them but I feel like people would not pay the same price.

[@hooksandheelers]

Honestly, I’ve wondered the same thing! Because they take just as long as the other ones. They do use less materials though, so I’d maybe price them $5 ish cheaper than the larger ones

[@Evelyn-ru4bl]

@@hooksandheelers Thank you.

[@TheCozyCrochetLoft]

@@hooksandheelers yeah, that's actually what I do a lot of the time. you could also just calculate the price as normal as well.

Do you think making amigurumi out of non blanket yarns would be received badly? I don't like working with that thicker yarn. It hurts my hands.

[@RaccoonOnMoon]

I don't think so. Personally l also don't really work with chunky yarn. Never wrong to experiment. Also i think using a thinner yarn would give more details to your work

[@ChristiJHutchins]

[@TheCozyCrochetLoft]

no, i have made and sold many, many plushies and amigurumi out of non-blanket yarn. It does really well, and it works great to mix up your inventory and textures of items that you have!
