Making a Creature from pieces designed by you!

A massive thank you to everyone who has been part of this community project so far on Discord!

This post is for the rating yarn video. Didn't know if you will see it there cause I watched that video so late so I posted here as well. Sory for the late post. ❤I don't use blanket yarn but I do use more chuncky yarn that is similar to blanket yarn. The thing is that if you want to give it a shape is beter to have a patern that is in more or bigger pieces or that you just more stufed it. It's harder to use cause you're used to thiner yarn. I was working with thiner yarn when I started crocheing and got used to it so it was a bit of a problem when I used chunkier yarn for the first time but now I somehow use both of the yarns easily. The think I do with my yarn for wich is recomendet 8,5 to 9,5mm hook is that I use 6mm hook. And in my opinion is easier. Hope I helped. Btw you are amazing and I love it when you and skeinspider complete chalenges togheter. ❤

[@Katherine_critters]

Im not allowed discord but i do my best to support you on youtube!❤

[@MrRepublicking]

😂 Love that you always mention it’s Thursday. You inspire me a lot that I don’t lose motivation for crocheting amigurumi.

[@ComplicatedKnots]

In my first video ever, I felt awkward and didn't know how to start the video, and "Hello, it's Thursday!" just sort of became my magical password to talk to the camera XD

[@HuntingSunder]

Was not expecting a crab in the slightest, but you really made it work! Side note, my cat watched this video with me, he was really intrigued by the scissors and the sounds they make for some reason.

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Intriguing a cat is the highest compliment I can think of!

[@xFaylinnx]

Community Franken-pattern success!! Hope we get to see more in the future! :D There are still so many pieces left on discord, we are up to 19 now, I think. Also... I love that ending screen hahaha it loooks adorable! As always, great work! :D

[@ashley-m]

as a cancer whose birthday is tomorrow, i could not be more psyched that you just posted this video!! he turned out so precious!!! great work as always 🥰

[@Just1Nora]

Happy birthday! 🎂🎉

[@PurpleRam]

The search for your needle was the most relatable crafting thing EVER 😂

[@Pikawolfgirl64]

This was so unexpected i was not ready for a crab with a top hat its beautiful. ❤ Also love the music. I'm definitely going to be trying this.

[@rjstump1275]

To me, Cain and the giant leech sounds like it's played on from a movie called James and the giant peach.

[@anelena9]

number 11 was definitely someone halfway making a porygon2

[@xFaylinnx]

It actually was! They showed off their finished porygon2 on the server! :D

[@circuspopcorn3928]

Love this series! all these little creatures so far are just. so adorable.

[@ComplicatedKnots]

It's great fun! :)

[@LucidtheClown]

Thursdays have quickly become my favourite day of the week

[@Kamo7731]

This is absolutely my favorite type of video of yours to watch turning little bits of nothing into an amazing something 🧡 and to share others amazing creations love it!!! Plus enjoy the squeaking 🤣🤣🤣

[@Elysia07]

Truly, the yarn asmr was very nice. it's also raining steadily in the background and I'm having a lazy Sunday in bed with these videos. Ahh perfection.

[@jayson6222]

youre the most inventive amigurumi artist ever

[@mallorycolsmann1772]

I love how this makes you think outside the box and try new things!

[@swiftfated]

Aww he turned out so awesome! Such a fancy gentleman.

[@Thebestfroggy]

Hi! I can’t wait to see how this comes out! All of your crochet items come out beautifully, so I can’t wait to see the new one that’s added to your crochet family ❤

[@missykim510]

I used to dislike Thursday. It was the "disappointing child" of the weekday. "You're not Friday!". Now it's my favourite day of the week. I have something to look forward too. (Those yarn needles with the slight curve are my favourite too 😉) These franken-patterns are too much fun!

[@CrochetByDever]

You saying "I think I'm doing this right" is the perfect equal to me following your patterns sometimes xD

[@Noveltea1113]

Great video as always :) And it was so cool to see my Frank at the end! I hope you consider doing more videos like this in the future (no pressure, of course!)

[@FeatheredCreature]

Oh woah that guy actually turned out really good!

[@rachelyoung3553]

Hello, Thursday! Much love from Mississippi!

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Hello Miss Issippi!

[@druzybear]

I love his distinguished back horn!! I believe he should tip the hat to us in a claw. No shame buddy!!

[@blindbandita]

I absolutely love the hat on one of his eyestalks

[@nyxnightcrawler446]

Oh dear lord my sensory issues hated that ASMR part of the crocheting XD I still have goosebumps from it 20 mins later XD

[@susandaniels9733]

I absolutely ❤ when you make a frankenpattern.. cool crab..if it's a hermit crab the top hat can be his guest room..😂.

[@c0ldlight1]

This is so amazing! And I don’t know how crabs wear hats- but if he has it in his claw like a gentlemen he would be dashing!

[@Katherine_critters]

Your so close to 100k! I cant wait till you get there❤!

[@robertasupebedia8666]

Love, Love your work! Your tutorial video is so complete an very clear and helpful! You are amazing! I also will purchase your patterns from Etsy. I appreciate your talent and am amazed with your creativity. Thank you.❤😊

[@kaytiej8311]

Sebastian would be proud. 😊 I'd love to see him done in blue.

[@Just1Nora]

I love this series. The creatures are always so creative and cute! I still think CATerpillar is my favorite, but I love this guy's dapper little hat!

[@Janelolll]

Omg this is such a fun crochet game!!! I have to make one now 😅 BTW you’re so incredibly talented and creative I don’t know how you do it! lol

[@oliiscat]

for how crabs wear hats, i think its on their shell. Because on their eye stalks its like if we wear hats on our eyes but the shell kind of acts like a head and body! idk tho

[@AdorabubbleDragon]

I love the idea of him holding his hat like he's tipping it

[@tandy5060]

I love that carcinization (sp?) Has entered crochet. This is awesome

[@ComplicatedKnots]

All roads lead to crab XD

[@rebeccamcteague3675]

I liked the hat on the shell best 😊

[@elijahcranson2130]

I love your designs. They're so amazing, and your videos are so much fun to watch. You're such amazing designer.

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Thank you so much!

[@carlann9807]

This looks like so much fun. A mystery until the end!

[@barbmajarucon6648]

I LOVE Thursdays!!!

[@vinitiea]

the hat on only one of the eye stalks has such a personality to it, but im also fond of him holding it like a gentleman

[@ComplicatedKnots]

He needs a monocle!

[@leeanntazladystreasures1270]

I love the way this turned out!!! I hope you will do more videos like this.

[@knitspinweave]

Oh wow 🎉 what an amazing channel you have ❤

[@JeffreyLeoMiller]

That’s so awesome!!! Such a cute crab!

[@rieslynpillow]

Hi a ma 12 and I learned how to crochet when I was 10 so I’m still pretty new to crocheting, and I do not know at all how to read or follow any tutorials but I like to watch your videos to inspire me. I’m making my own patterns like right now I’m trying to crochet a potato.

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Everybody loves potatoes! :)

[@Katherine_critters]

Smol potato!

[@kywire._]

This challenge is amazing!! The crab turned out so cool and everyone else's franks did too!

[@karentzn]

What a stunning fun video to watch

[@lorriedanielle9822]

I love this idea. I would love a series of quick work up ami pieces. I’ve made a few of the big pieces, but I’d love interesting pieces that don’t take an extended period of time to complete

[@ComplicatedKnots]

The 12-days-of-crochet pieces all take about half an hour to do each! I'll be adding to it over the holidays this year :)

[@SamLesCreations]

Such a fun idea! Next time maybe try separating the detail pieces from the foundation pieces into separate bowls next time and she was like three of each or something. You're so creative though. I don't know how you're able to do this kind of stuff. This would give me so much anxiety lololololol

[@terahmichelle416]

Love this series. So creative and cute. ❤

[@MsAdrammelech]

This is such an awesome idea i loved how he turn out

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Thanks for that! I'm getting better but editing is HARD XD

[@silviasellerio728]

How cute! He kind of reminds me of Tamatoa from "Moana"... He definitely is shiny! 😁

[@thespooniestitcher]

I love him! Genius!

[@allycantspell8111]

i think crabs wear hats on their shell ;)

[@ComplicatedKnots]

I think I lean towards "shell" as well!

[@jessicahayman3729]

Piece 2 is so interesting, my face looked just like yours making it!

[@moda78z]

😍👏👏👏 Such a fun idea!

[@UFOCrochet]

I like his hat on one eye. That way you can see the hat when he sits on a shelf.

[@nicolelavigne1700]

I think a crab wears a top hat on one eye stalk, tipped at a jaunty angle. Holding it in his claw is of course when he tips his hat as a greeting in a most gentlecrably fashion. lol

[@sarahpeterson2813]

You're amazing, talented and hilarious.❤

[@Anne5440_]

How much fun! I'm just now sure how use discord,lo. Or twitch or some other thigs, lol. I'm very tired today after my cancer treatment but also very happy because I was atold treatments will now be once a month instead of every 2 weeks. This video has made a good day even more fun.

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Congratulations!!

[@tydino101]

happy thursday

[@Hello1tsm3]

I think green stitching on the shell would have helped break up the yellow more. I would never have thought to make a crab with those pieces bravo

[@MeganBrewerton]

This is such a fun idea 💡 ❤

What a dapper gentleman crab. A credit to crustaceans.

I’m a bit late but crabs definitely wear hats on a single eye stalk.

This was such a unique idea! ❤ it!

[@lilspooders]

Do you publish your frankenpatterns? I’d love to crochet a few

[@erincrossley5566]

I love your videos! You should have given the crab a bowtie to go with the top hat

[@ComplicatedKnots]

I was thinking a monocle!

[@glutenfreepixels152]

Does a crab have a hat for each eyeball? Love the end piece! Fantastic as always

[@ComplicatedKnots]

He could potentially have a second hat...I'm a sucker for a tiny accessory.

[@JuneSenClair-nd8jq]

On top of his shell. My granddaughter thought it was funny when you put it on his eye.😅

[@KayleighsCraftyCorner]

Ooh I didn't know you were on discord! Just joined, although I'm pretty new with servers and still learning what to do 😂

[@ComplicatedKnots]

...same XD

[@Coallise]

My piece was used!

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Thank you for sharing it!

[@GalacticCrochet]

I loved this. Now I really want to make one for myself! It's just so cute, I think the hat on him looked best on his back, or on one of his eyes. (Also, quick name suggestion, idk if you already named him or not but Mr. Popcorn sounds like a pretty cute name for him or any other yellow creature) I'm DEFINITELY going to do this challenge with my friend soon, I can't wait to see how cute they are, along with how different they are. It's going to be so much fun! (And knowing her, the pieces are going to be very interesting) I do have to wait a little to do the challenge though, one of my friends saw the cute rat holding a strawberry I made from your pattern, and she now wants four! And being who I am, I said yes, sooo... I've got quite a bit of work to do. Again, loved the video! hope you don't mind the essay.... 😄

[@Vee-the-eevee]

I’m gonna try sewing something with the pieces

[@thelittlescoundrel]

piece 11 i think was supposed to be porygon anyone else see this? btw love your videos, been crocheting for a while and you are a lifesaver to me!!!!

[@ComplicatedKnots]

The designer of that piece has confirmed that it is from one of the porygons...I think it was Porygon-Z? :)

[@laurathresher2858]

I must say, that sensory experience was quite awful 😂🤣 but I absolutely love your videos. Currently trying out the little pumpkin turtle.

[@cuddlykanin]

Sorry for the random question on an unrelated video, but do you plan on making tutorial videos on any of the Pokemon you've made in the catching and making series? I'd love to make a Flygon !! 🧡 P.S this idea is SO cool, I haven't finished the video yet but I'm so excited to see the final product

[@nixhixx]

I feel like he doesn't fit in with your other creations without safety eyes, but he's cute! Hat on his shell.

[@celtyrysuje]

Please make a Furby next :D The new one is out and everyone is crazy about them again. So many new people joining the group recently :P

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Yeah but the new furbies are all little and cute instead of electronically demonic XD

[@rainbeep]

You know those websites where you refresh and get a new writing prompt or random color or something? One of those, but for user submitted weird pieces to become Frankie's.

How do you join the complcated knots discord server

[@WarofContrition]

Again! More!

[@loudwhitenoise_]

i made a dog-whistle-high-pitch noise saying 'cute'!

[@aayyyooooo]

Cain and the giant leech has James and the giant peach energy, by name. 😂 By looks, Cain appears to be a plague doctor, and leches would've been commonly used to 'suck out your sins' because 'sins' were what people believed caused illness back then. So I'm thinking he is a very fun play on historical medicine and it's nonsense. 😂

[@macaroooni448]

i believe crabs wear their hats on only one eye
