OMG! I Went Yarn Shopping and Still Had Time For A few Plushies!!

[@desireeayat9520]

Aloha from Hawaii 🌴 I love the giraffe and squirrel. Well done. AL😊HA!

[@Stacymakes]

Love that new yarn fluffy flecks ❤. And your squirrel is adorable 🥰🥰 thank you for testing. ❤ Mona was fun to make can't wait to show everyone!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I tried the flecks last night it’s nice!!

[@helenethelemon]

That squirrel is so adorable💗Totally agree as a 21 year old, I love it, I want it 😂! I recently found your channel and I'm having a great time doing my own crocheting while watching your videos🥰 Thanks for sharing your little shopping trip with us today!

[@marizaramos6176]

Moose is brilliant idea, so is Mona. Love the squirrel ❤. Thank you for the yarn trip. 😊

[@LudmilaHarris]

OMG. I absolutely love your new patterns. I think that will be a big hit for kids. I am definitely getting your pattern.

[@joanprince733]

Just love the squirrel.

[@craftysue519]

That GREEN, please be good, please be good, I need that in my life! Rub your hook with wax paper before trying it. It really does make the yarn glide easier! Love Moose, almost as much as Mona! I see a trend starting here. Mona, Moose…now any others you make like this have to be named starting with an M! Well glad Grumpy got it right immediately. I don’t know where John & Dave see a moose! You got some nice yarns! I’ve never seen that Michael’s yarn with the sprinkles, twinkles, spottles, obviously I already forgot what it is called. Excited to see what you make with it! 💖🦋💖🦋

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Fluffy Flecks! 😂heck I forgot what it was called with it in my hands 😂that green is sooo pretty and the maize those too are my favs.

[@Implied_Confessions]

Do we need to set up a Go Fund Me and buy those men some animal flashcards?!😂😂😂😂 I adore the squirrel! My next door neighbor has squirrels living in her attic. LOL That would be a perfect gift for her. LOL

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

That is hilarious! I’m sure they’d learn something (maybe) 😂😂

[@shellibump2403]

That pink is giving Circus Animal cookie vibes. 🩷

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Ooo- I need to go to the Joann tomorrow! ❤️❤️ Moose and the squirrel .

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

It’s a good thing they don’t have bigger carts 😂

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

@ 😂

[@travelcrochet]

Oh my, so jealous seeing the yarn in the stores!! Moose definitely looks like a giraffe 😂 Stacy has outdone herself with the squirrel pattern, it’s gorgeous!! Next week I will be back in civilisation again and will have to show you inside our one & only large physical store we have to purchase yarn from. You will be horrified 😂

[@tiahill832]

Cool yarn!! The Giraffe aka Moose, Frogs and Squirrel are really cute! Thanks for sharing. 🙂🥰😘❤

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thank you so much! It was a good yarn haul. 😉

[@noraspence2671]

Loved all your makes! I can't believe that 2 guys called your giraffe a moose! How silly! I love that squirrel! I want to make some out of small cotton yarn for my puppy. She would love them! The yarn colors are gorgeous! Really love the flecks!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

It would be very tiny out of a thin cotton

[@carmanrutten7768]

Your new creations are so adorable!! The new giraffe and monkey look like something I will have to make!!😊

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thanks Carman

[@Crochetma4life]

That buggy at Michaels needed a tune up! lol Definitely a giraffe! I hate when we get wrong answers!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I always end up with carts like that 😂

[@debbieward-crochet]

Love you “moose” and the squirrel was grey on my screen too.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

That’s my great lighting 😂

[@craftlover9702]

LOVE the giraffe, he's so fun!! The squirrel is also adorable! You ladies are really coming up with some winners! That new yarn looks awesome!!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thank you 🥰

[@jillanderson1948]

I love Mona and Moose! I’ll be getting the patterns! I love the new colors. I see a squirrel and a fox made with the maple leaf color. I hope the chenille brights yarn gets some new colors too.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

That would be nice, I would love it if they did.

[@colleendupont6007]

I love the giraffe he's adorable

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thank you!!

[@KelliRaabe]

I am so excited for the giraffe and monkey patterns to be released! They are both adorable and I didn't get a moose either, lol.

[@camillescrochet777]

Thanks for the fun shopping trip! Can’t wait to see what you do with the new yarn! 😊

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I’m thinking about a few fun things!

[@marlenevanschalkwyk4582]

Wow to have all those yarn shops in your area - I'm not sure if I'd be able to control myself!!!! I already have problems when it comes to buying amazing patterns. Such beautiful colors.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

It's dangerous! Especially with new yarn releases!

[@bearscritter]

I LOVE MOOSE!!! Putting down another pattern to get!!! Love the squirrel too and im turning 70 in April!! LOL

[@brendaflanigan5686]

That is so cute!!

[@sarahschreffler5407]

I really like that larger giraffe.

[@lorenascraftingspot]

That new yarn looks interesting! I need to make a little trip to Michael's when they go on sale. Thanks for sharing!❤

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Definitely wait for a sale!

[@navybluepiggy]

Hi from Australia, great video thank you, it’s always nice to see what is in your yarn shops, (I always go in with a basket and have to go back for a trolley 😂) Your plushies are awesome 😀

[@karenwarton1440]

I am in Australia as well. Can I ask where do you buy your yarn from, I only have spotlight and need to know where to buy yarn from

[@chrissyinpa]

It's clearly a giraffe. Lol! I asked my husband too and he said giraffe. Love that you named him moose though. And the squirrel is adorable too! Blessings!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thank you hubby for me for guessing right 😂😂

[@jackiebechler8823]

Oh, too funny!! Perfect name of Moose!! He is adorable!! Yes, I love Stacy's squirrel pattern too. Our area, we see mostly brown squirrels, go about 10 miles to next town, there are grey squirrels. Town that is about 40 miles has black squirrels. Love the look of the Fluffy flecks, anxious to hear your thoughts on it!! I like the second frog you showed and I know you weren't sure about color, but, I actually like the color, it's fitting.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Our squirrels are grayish and the flecks is nice to work with

[@stamps2much]

Love all the yarns im going to look at the new colors love the green and moose is just to cute and thats a Giraffe lol tfs..Barbara

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

😂😂

[@Sweetrose333]

I’m so jealous The only place I can get yarn locally is Walmart It would be so nice to be able to have choices and be able to get the feel of the yarn

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Walmart is my closest as well. I just decided to travel the hour so I could complete the squirrel pattern test! but you are so right being able to touch makes a huge difference.

[@shellibump2403]

I just purchased both elephant patterns. Thank you for the inspiration. I want to make valentine ones

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

That’s a great idea!

[@shirleygrenie5992]

I love your giraffe ❤

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thank you!!

[@bills9000]

Goblin would be perfect for crocheting a grinch.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Yes definitely

[@44Lisbeth]

I love the shopping trips...theres a few things i miss from US and thats Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's and Ben Franklin...we don't have that kind of stores here. The squirrel is really cute and can easily be changed into a skunk😃and i love Moose. i need to make him for my grandkid😍

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I usually shop online so is was a treat to go to the stores!

[@MystLily]

having a hypo at the moment but oh wow all that yarn is so beautiful and the green just wow love it, when I wake up I';m going to go looking for that oragnge fading cake didn't know it came in that colour and just got my ahnds on the pink

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

They had a lot of those cakes in amazing colors!

[@betsyvanek9275]

Senore frog has a handle bar mustache and sometimes a sombrero, ideas...sugar skulls, FRIDA!, flad color coasters, bulls...

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thanks love the ideas

[@karenrichardson188]

Have you considered creating several similar patterns? Your have Mona the monkey and Moose the giraffe ... Maybe Giraffe the moose, plus a cow and maybe more? Similar to the chunky birds you recently tested where the body shape is basically the same but the colors and features are different. Just a thought. I really enjoy your videos. I'm hoping that perhaps you will occasionally do vices like you did before Christmas where you used a new free pattern and made it so we could see process and how sometimes the pattern is great and other times not so great. Thanks again for all you do and I'll look forward to your next video!

[@MsLadypage]

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the giraffe after seeing her monkey, that would be a great series of plushy’s!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I have a few ideas floating around in my head 😊

[@leahray5127]

Moose is an adorable giraffe ❤

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thank you!!

[@beth114]

I LOVE the fluffy loops & yarns stuff! (Can't remember the name) I'm currently using it to make teddy bears and it's SO soft. I don't usually like working with fluffy yarn, but it's nice to work with. Im sure I'll pick some more up to make bunnies with before Easter. 😊

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Bunnies are a great idea with the fluffy flecks

[@shellibump2403]

I only went there once and left empty handed. I just thought their prices ran high. But I'm eyeing that first speckled you filmed

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Their prices are high. I just happened to be unlucky and go when there wasn’t a sale

[@shannanbogner5459]

I have never seen mystical in the wild. I always have to order it!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

That was my first time

[@Amygurumi_Stitches]

Ooh! That Fluffy Flecks looks interesting. Doesn’t show in stock at any store near me. Looking forward to your review!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I used some last night and I like it!

[@randellamontgomery2867]

Wow, a large selection. Hold me back. Lol.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Right!! I was shocked!!

[@sarahschreffler5407]

Ithought you were in jo-ann's at the beginning! Our Michael's doesn't have much yarn either.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

That’s the first time I’ve seen that Michaels stocked like that

[@margaretmmg]

Just read an article, from Reuters, about Joann filing for bankruptcy for a 2nd time in a year. Not looking good for them. It says they are trying to find a buyer. If not then they will liquidate!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

That would be very sad

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

You need to use that new parfait color ACORN on a squirrel! It’s right there in the name! Also, John must have not been taught his animals in preschool because yowza do his guesses come out of left field 😂

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Yes they do 😂😂

[@AntisocialAuntie]

My closest Michaels is so small compared to yours. At least the yarn section. Jealous! "It's just so pretty I have to try it" is why I limit my shopping trips. Never fails I find something that I don't have a project for but i just can't say no. 😂

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

That was a rare thing to find that Michaels stocked. You know I was only looking for the fur yarn and see what happened 🤣

[@AntisocialAuntie]

@KnottingHookCrochet 😂 Yep! 3 stores and several yarns bought to find the one thing you needed. 😂

Could you add a link for your safety eye drawers?

[@jackieschneider7354]

A moose!!! I think John was pulling your leg 😂. I can’t believe Heathers husband thought it was a moose. We’re Canadian - we see moose in nature, they are dark brown with dark brown nose😂. It’s a very cute, obviously a giraffe. Squirrel is adorable also.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I think he was serious! He is terrible at guessing what the plushies are. But this one 🤣🤣

[@dianaepple524]

Lovely yarn. Try wax paper on your hook for the speaking; have also heard of using furniture polish. Maybe it's worth a try. Now it's time for you to make a moose.

[@Crochetcornetist]

I absolutely love you and your videos! Can you link your friend Heather's channel? I found Sue, but would like to watch Heather also. Thank you!!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Here she is www.youtube.com/@cottontailcrafts1719

[@nancywilliams798]

Well the name Moose is a hoot, maybe make an actual moose antlers on that body style then maybe John will say giraffe 🤣🤣. I received my new colors from Premier today as well and they are beautiful colors but some feel a little iffy 😟 but can’t wait to use them. 🤞 Have a great evening 🧶🥰

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

They did feel a little iffy, I tried the green on my pepper and it was fine to work with no drag or squeak at all.

[@lorrimonohon860]

Robin, can you please tell me where you got the eyes that you put on Moose? They are adorable!

Hi Robyn I have been watching your videos from Australia for a while now and I love your down to earth outlook on life, and how you're not scared to show everyone you are so human and make mistakes. You really inspired me to start a market stall. I decided to write you today because I am having a very bad day. I have been crocheting my little heart out after watching the toys you make and have just reached the point where I can have my first toy market sale. Unfortunately insurance in Australia offers Public Liability but I have just discovered insurance companies will not cover my crochet work as they are classified as toys and eyes etc are classed as choking hazard. The only way I can get cover is Product insurance through specialty insurance brokers at a price totally unaffordable. I have now totally lost my confidence that my work is safe with the use of safety eyes, filling etc. and that something I have done might cause injury to someone I guess you're wondering why I'm telling you all this but you inspire me with your work and the things you do (family info that you include). Today I feel so miserable and beaten I just had to write to you. I don't know what to do to even see any of your replies to peoples comments, so I won't even see if you reply to this. I almost feel as if I know you and your family personally from the way you talk about your day to day life. You are a great influence to me and as I feel so sad today to have to abandon my crocheting aspirations I just felt like writing to you. If ever you have the opportunity to reply my email address is [e-mail] Sincerely Carol King

[@travelcrochet]

Hi Carol, I’m from Australia also. I have found more markets require the insurance these days, but if you look around not all of them require it or sometimes they will offer you an extra fee on top of their stall fee to be covered by their insurance. Don’t give up!

[@beverlyhickey2705]

I watch you all the time. I have recently started trying to make the animals. I just finished a frog lovey using a prym hook the yarn parfait chunky and it felt like it stuck to the hook. My question is what hook would be better?. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and projects.

Love moose so much!!!! Giraffes are my fave 😍 Would you share the creator of the Instagram frog pattern please 🙏🏻🙂

[@Onepatch1]

That thick furry yarn in Michaels, it is a total pain in your a@@, but you can separate the 3 strands and end up with a ton of fur at a standard type of weight for plushies. Love your videos!

I talked to a manager at one of my "local" Michael's store when I went to pick up an online order. I always check the yarn before I leave the store. The store manager just happened to be in the yarn section soooo I told her about the change in their loops and thread home slim and sweet snuggles lite. She completely understood sincei Michael's has recently changed her favorite vinyl. She said if we get on Michael's social media ie) Fb and complain about the changes. They can't stand negative opinions and are quick to respond. Soooo, I'm trying to get as many of us to join our voices and see if we can make a difference. Will you and your followers join me ????

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT MIGHT BE YOUR HOOK?

It doesn't matter what I hook I try some of it is just bad yarn

[@DeannaKlaub]

Spending 12 dollars on yarn , you SHOULD be critical and fussy. When pricing items you don't always get your money back paying full price for yarn You've got to love your craft to pay that and clearly she does. (Just my opinion ) She's very talented and very creative with ideas and colors .

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thanks Deanna! I tell ya $12 hurt and yes I am picky about how it feels and so should anyone be.
