New Yarns to find SSL Dupe - Pattern Tests - What I Made This Week Market Prepping

[@desiraelewellen7458]

I appreciate your pep talk about it being enough. I struggle with knowing when to stop and tell myself that I have enough and to give myself grace. It's such a struggle

[@Stacymakes]

For sure! It was really a pep talk to myself but glad someone could relate. ❤️

[@katieduffy593]

I was so excited when I saw the pink yarn was nearly the same size!

[@cammieward6677]

Yes, I've really enjoyed these videos. Also have found patterns through you that I'm thrilled to do for markets.

[@Stacymakes]

Yay, glad you find the videos helpful 😁

[@craftlover9702]

Neopolitan is gorgeous!

[@sharonlamasney1676]

Hi Stacy love your videos. The method I use to measure yarn is “wraps per inch”. I wrap the yarn around an inch on a ruler to compare thickness.

[@Stacymakes]

That's a great idea!

[@margaretmmg]

The mermaid eyes are not bad. If you added lashes it would totally work.

[@allycantspell8111]

im excited to see this mysterious yarn. i rlly hope it works out. Id also love to see you combine sweet snuggles lite with the yarns youve found that seem to be the same size but are different textures if you get a chance

[@Stacymakes]

Maybe I can do that!!😁

[@paulamarth]

That would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

[@CrochetByToscha-p2k]

I love your videos, always inspirational and full of great ideas..🥰

[@Stacymakes]

Thank you. ❤️

[@katieduffy593]

Gideon is perfect

[@kimethaturner152]

I love that tie dye color of the sting ray. I’ll have to check that link out

[@Stacymakes]

I added it to my Amazon Storefront in case you want to find it. ❤️❤️

[@paulamarth]

Can you do a tutorial on face shaping? It’s so much easier to tell others to give themselves grace but we are so hard on ourselves…why do we do that??? I had a plan one my prep for my upcoming markets but I’m changing it because I want to make certain things so I’m going to do what is going to make me happy and hope that someone likes it and that it brings some one else joy…so yeah do what you enjoy and have fun!

[@Stacymakes]

Yes do what you love 🥰🥰 I'll see about doing a short or tutorial for the face shaping. ❤️

[@DeannaCrochetMagician]

I love the cow!

[@Stacymakes]

Thanks 🥰

Oh I love your hippo he is so adorable,,, love the color and eyes on him,,, the gorilla is adorable,,, love all your makes, can't wait to see what you do next,,,, I love pattern testing,,,, me too I never apply unless it's a pattern I think I would love to make,,, working on another dragon test now,,, I just can't get enough LOL

[@Stacymakes]

Just watched your trip video too!! So fun! 😊

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

The mermaid eyes 😬, if you want them embroidered try doing them smaller and don't use plush yarn use acrylic or cotton. start small and build them up. So sorry to hear about your friend! I'm making myself a cardigan (hopefully I finish it). Take care 🥰

[@Stacymakes]

Yes for sure smaller yarn this time !

[@thecozybuckeye]

I’ll watch you whenever you are able to upload. Listening to you is always like hanging with a good friend. I really loved the Ted talk & probably needed that too, lol.

[@Stacymakes]

Aww thank you 🥰☺️🥰 love hanging with you too! ❤️❤️

[@Hookstohugs]

Alize velluto yarn is beautiful to work with though I suspect it might not be what you have in mind as a dupe. It also lies flat one side. The colours available are vast. I use it alot in the uk. The one I use that may be a similar one to sweet snuggles light is snug as a bug. From wool warehouse in the uk. It’s got new colours so may be what you’re after.

[@Stacymakes]

Ill have to look into that! ❤️❤️

[@BethLancaster-c8z]

I have enjoyed the yarn exploration. Thank you for doing this for us.

[@Stacymakes]

You're welcome 😁 thanks for watching ☺️

[@deeavila3153]

Love your videos, you're such a sweet person. Thank you for that pep talk and I agree...we need to do what we love for us and it makes us happy. I hope everything is well for you and the family...Sending a big hug. Sending Prayers for your friend Robin and hope that things get better for her.

[@Stacymakes]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching! ❤️🥰❤️

[@storyformi]

Can't wait for you to get the other package this week! Thank for looking for the Dupes and sharing with all of us. Your Gideon is soooooooo good. Now i have to go buy fur yarn lol. I love your videos and all the encouragement and community you bring💚💚💚💚.

[@Stacymakes]

Aww thank you!! Appreciate you watching 🥰🥰

[@Tunnell10]

I enjoy watching your videos while I crochet! You’re so talented. Could you tell me which color orange in Parfait Chunky you used for the pumpkin keychain? Thanks!

[@Stacymakes]

It was the limited edition Carrot color.❤️

[@Tunnell10]

@@Stacymakes Ah! That’s what I was thinking. I really hope they make it a permanent color!

[@mellyinspiredcrochet]

omg you can see the details so much more of Gideon in the video! he's literally the cutest. loved all your yarn reviews and that duck is too cute. especially with the strawberry on top! 😄 I hope you're doing well ❤

[@Stacymakes]

Thank you Melly! He's a cutie 🥰🥰🥰

[@verrunhomealtar]

Can’t wait to see that next yarn! Hoping it’s the perfect match!

[@Stacymakes]

Me too!! ❤️❤️

[@katherinebrown7]

That tie-dye would be a fun turtle shell!

[@Stacymakes]

It's a crazy tie-dye! Good idea though 😃

[@velvety2006]

the tie-dye reminds me of playdough XD

[@craftlover9702]

Hi Stacy! Have you tried Hobbi Baby Snuggle? I've used it in the past but not sure how it compares with Michaels. Honey bunny by Hobbi is more like parfait chunky. I know the Baby Snuggle was thicker then that but I don't know if it's as nice as Michaels. I also am a fan of Michaels, home chenille and sweet snuggles lite and I keep writing to Michaels to up their game and add more colors.

[@Stacymakes]

I didn't try any Hobbii as I talked to a few Hobbii users that said that none of them were the same as SSL. 🤷‍♀️ But I mean I can buy more yarn for the sake of science ya know! 🤣

[@craftlover9702]

@@Stacymakes LOL.... If you do opt for the Baby snuggle over the honey bunny....

[@luanastark9876]

My daughter and I are going to do a market together and I was was wondering how you and your daughter share your sales I thought I saw something on a previous that yo were going to do a blog on this . Did I miss it? Please let me know. Thank you

[@Stacymakes]

Hi! I answered this question on my Q & A video a few weeks back ❤️

[@user-ul9oy2tx4w]

Hi Stacy, I don’t have instagram how can I see the duck tutorial?

[@Stacymakes]

Here is the direct link.. you shouldn't have to have an IG to see it I don't think? instagram.com/p/C4WRv3DBEmR/?igsh=MTlsdm80YTI4dzU2ag==

[@kathyadams3366]

You seem very stressed, overwhelmed and not yourself. Hope whatever you are dealing with gets better for you. Follow your own advice, give yourself grace.

[@Stacymakes]

Appreciate that. It's been a rough few weeks!! ❤️❤️ Definitely on the road to feeling more myself!

[@BethLancaster-c8z]

Can I please get the link for the pink yarn?

[@Stacymakes]

Yes I just added it to my Amazon Storefront but here is a link as well. amzn.to/3LYNQFb

[@KelliRaabe]

Could you please link your stingray pattern please?

[@Stacymakes]

Just asked it to the description! instagram.com/chezdouxcoton

[@KelliRaabe]

@@Stacymakes got it! Thank you!!!!

[@bethhutchinson105]

Not a criticism but rather a curiosity, why is your video in mirror image? I’ve seen this on a few other channels and am wondering why that is? For example, I can’t read the yarn labels because they are backwards lol I like your content, so please don’t take offense. I really am curious as to how this happens

[@Stacymakes]

I record with my phone with the reverse camera/screen facing me so I can see myself/product, etc in the screen while I record.

[@bethhutchinson105]

@@Stacymakes ahh ok, makes sense
