What an encouraging and inspirational video! The adoption certificate is such a wonderful idea for creating amigurumi. Congratulations on your daughter getting married! Can't wait to see what wedding ideas you bring to life! Thank you for putting so much energy, passion and love into your videos! So well done!!!!

Never give up Elise. I love watching your channel. Even though I am a Master Crocheter and taught Crochet for a number of years. I am now retired. I still love to knit and crochet and your enthusiasm is infectious. When I get finished with some other projects, I intend to order your Wolf Amigurumi pattern. I made the Unicorn and Dragon Amigurumi from the first book of Pica Pau. I sent them to my Grandnieces in Michigan. They were thrilled. I included my old Dance recital costumes so they could play Princesses. This all happened because you inspired me so much. Thank you for just being informative and sharing your joy.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Awwww! That is incredible!!!!! I'm so impressed that you're a Master Crocheter! I know the work that went into earning that achievement! And thank you so much!! I'm so glad to have played a small part in your crocheting journey!! 🧶🧶🧶

Thank you for sharing this video. Your enthusiasm for your craft and for life is inspiring. I am struggling with my current amigurumi project right now. I'm making a Nativity scene. The pattern that I purchased has all the people made the same way, just changing up the colors. Boring!! I've put it aside for a while to work on our charity project, "Warm hearts for warm heads." So far, 5 of us have created 264 sock hats for charity that will go out this fall. We're on a roll!! Blessings to you and your family. Stay well and safe!!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Honestly that does sound a little repetitious! Have you ever seen Alan Dart's mouse Nativity?? It's knit but it's incredible! 🐭 And how wonderful that you all making hats for charity!! What a kind and lovely thing to do! 🧶🧶🧶

[@theMermaidRhonda]

Wow! Such great questions from everyone! One thing I really love about crocheting (knitting, too!) is the local community of other crocheters and knitters. If you have a local yarn shop, stop in and ask about meet ups. One of my local shops has ladies in there all the time who are sitting around a table working on stuff and chatting. I've met so many cool women (and a few men) just going to random gatherings. Some stores allow you to show up any time and hang out. Also, seeing all that beautiful yarn will inspire you, I promise!

Hi Elise! Great video! Lots of good answers to questions! I’m so glad you never gave up! You have been a great inspiration to me. I have now made two stuffed toys for my great nieces.

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video and also for encouraging other makers. I've hit many pot holes along the way this year and find myself struggling with what works and what doesn't. At the end of the day I think we all have to give ourselves some grace (which is easier said than done!) -- it's the only way to get where we're going and put our best foot forward. Thanks again for another great video.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

You're so welcome. You're right, we all go through times of discouragement. When I'm feeling that way I try to think about how far I've come in my making journey. If you had told me just a few years ago what I'd be able to make now, I would be so excited. It's amazing what we can make with our own two hands. Try to remember that when the discouragement settles in. Hugs to you. ❤️❤️❤️

[@9674virgo]

I alternate when I start having pain from crocheting to loom knitting. Looming, for me, uses different hand muscles so I can do it while resting from crocheting. I loom for a day or so then go back to crochet! Also- I tried different yarn weight-needle combinations to get the right ones that do not hurt but give me tight stitches! Took me awhile but dk weight with B hook is PERFECT for me.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you for sharing that information!! I totally agree, at some point I have to take a break and do something different. I'm the same way with knitting, totally different muscles. And I'm so glad you found your perfection combination of yarn weight and hook size! It's definitely worth the effort to find it! 🍄

[@9674virgo]

@@EliseRoseCrochet there are some amigurumi knitting patterns I really want to do, but I'm an extreme newbie knitter. I learn the basics like ten years ago and never made anything really. Then stopped for ten years lol. Any recommendations on learning to knit? I will tell you why I never made anything. Dropped stitches. Lol I cannot fix mistakes in knitting like crochet. I'd get decently far on like a scarf and see that I messed up and all the work was a waste. 😢

[@karendavis7278]

Thank you for answering my question. You made some points I hadn’t thought of. I do both knitted and crochet amigurumi. Currently I enjoy knitting more than crochet, overall, but I always have at least one project of each going. I, too, was a homeschool mom. My youngest graduated last year. I am still highly involved in the homeschool community as I am a homeschool evaluator (PA law requires homeschoolers to be evaluated at the end of the school year by a certified teacher.) My oldest daughter got engaged NYEVE midnight 2022 and married 6 weeks later Feb 12, 2022 in our home. It was a whirlwind but a wonderful day (my husband, a pastor, performed the ceremony.) They were in a hurry to be married and live 45 minutes from us. No grandbabies coming . . . Yet. Due to the short time between engagement and wedding, she didn’t get her knitted blanket she requested until months later. 😝 When I watch your videos I feel like we could be friends. Thanks for putting out great content.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thank you so much for sharing all that!! It sounds like we would have a lot in common! And my daughter's fiancée's dad is a retired pastor and will be performing the ceremony for them!

Hi Elise, I really enjoy watching your channel and the help you give is priceless. You are so upbeat and cheerful which brightens my day and I can tell how much you love your craft. I find getting the right yarn for a certain project can be a mine field. I’ve recently completed an amigurumi baby doll and I used a 100% cotton but I think I used wrong yarn as doll had no give when stuffing and the clothes etc I made from the included pattern to fit her were too big. I’m determined to get it right by making another one but I’m really struggling with the best yarn to use. Could you please advise me on best yarn to use for a amigurumi baby doll, she has joints and wired limbs for movement. Thank you in advance for any help and advice and your encouragement. Nicky

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Yes, cotton has very little stretch to it. You could make the clothes in a smaller size hook so that they fit better. There are soooo many good amigurumi yarns on the market. I have a lot of videos about amigurumi yarns on my channel. I also always share what yarn I'm using on a project so always check the description boxes for that information as well! Good luck! 🧶🧶🧶

[@nickytaylor3749]

Hi Elise, thank you for your quick reply. The doll is the real issue with the yarn. I will keep watching your videos to find the best yarn, maybe it’s down to trial and error too. I do love all your reviews and all the items you have made. Many thanks again for your help and advice.

I don't know how I missed the call for questions, but I'm disappointed I did! :( I have no idea what I would've asked, but I don't doubt I would have come up with something. I do love how you emphasized that taking a break if one needs it can be just as important as kicking yourself in the pants to get motivated. Too many people are willing to keep grinding away at things, even if the joy is gone, and they need to learn that it's important to step back sometimes and remember why they fell in love with this hobby in the first place.

Elise, what size gift box are you using?

These are the boxes I ordered: amzn.to/3CGNsaW Hope that helps! 📦

[@lilycampbell5354]

Hi I love all your videos and creations, they are so helpful. I had a quick question, what size yarn and crochet hook do you normally use for your projects? Thanks!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I almost always use a worsted weight yarn and a 3.5 mm hook! Hope that helps! 🧶🧶🧶

[@lilycampbell5354]

Thank you so much!

[@Jellybeansatdusk]

Amigurumi is the reason why I learned to crochet. I’ve been a knitter for years but I find knitting toys to be much more fiddly.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I agree! Crocheting toys is definitely simpler! ❤️

[@Jellybeansatdusk]

@@EliseRoseCrochet I vastly prefer knitting for clothing though. Like you said, it drapes well, but it’s also more flexible and less stiff usually. Except crocheted lace patterns can be great for cardigans or boleros or an outer layer

Im hyperactive and feel like i always HAVE!!! To be doing something !! I struggle with feeling like im being lazy if im sitting crochettibg ,also what would you recommend i do? If im wanting to crochet a woobles kit,but have never done si and i tend to get lost if a pattern is repetitive in its sequence

When using paintbox which colours do you use as skin tones? I feel like there isn't a perfect one for skin tone

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I honestly don't remember right now, but I just played around with the different ones that looked close enough to the skin tone color I wanted. Sorry my memory is so bad. I haven't found a yarn yet that has all the skin tone shades as well as all the colors for toys. But I do remember that Green Frog Crochet did a great skin tone comparison with the yarn she uses. She shared it on her Instagram. Might be worth checking there!! Sorry I couldn't be more help! 🧶🧶🧶

[@hannah_gurumi5426]

@@EliseRoseCrochet that is helpful, I'll have a look over there. I just find with the paintbox some are a very cool beige and some are very pink. Been going with beige most of the time

I crocheted my wedding favors

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That is amazing!!!!!! What did you make? My daughter is getting married in July and I'm looking for all the ideas I can get! 🤍

[@JackieG0985]

@LePetitSaint Crochet I made items from the hooked on Amigurumi book by Melanie Morita. I'm a huge gamer and nerd. So I made the love potion, ghost, and tea cup. We also put catnip in some of them since we're crazy cat people.

[@ashleysimmons3210]

Shawls were the ONLY THING I crocheted for about 2 years… now I have over 2 very large Rubbermaid bins full of them and I don’t know what to do with them! I’ve tried selling them at craft shows but nobody has bought any! They just don’t seem to be popular. I’m out of ideas on what to do with them now; I want them out!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I would look into places to donate them. There are probably organizations looking for handmade shawls. I'm thinking of places that help with the elderly or maybe even Hospice. Hopefully doing a Google search will turn up something. 🧶🧶🧶

Hi Elise , can u help me please. I'm crocheting a leg for a Christmas elf and I need to change colours , red 2 rounds, white 2 rounds etc. Can u show me how I can do this so I don't get an uneven line. A bit confused. Thank u.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can help with that! My color changes are always uneven, but here's an article from Club Crochet that might be able to help: clubcrochet.com/lessons/how-to-crochet-the-perfect-stripes/ ❤️❤️❤️
