STOP Believing These 10 Amigurumi Lies Crocheters tell!

[@Crocheniacs]

What is the biggest lie you ever told yourself after you started crocheting?

[@sonder2164]

I have enough yarn for this project.

[@JamielleBlocker-bq6pu]

@@Crocheniacs I'm going to use my stash before I buy more yarn (yeah right)

[@maudorsano]

"I don't know why the designer says to do this. I can do it another way more easily and much faster." Famous last words....

[@Crocheniacs]

😂😂 Thank you so much for sharing this one! That is so funny!!!! 🤣

[@Premiumpostcards]

I don't have to write it down, I will remember.

[@Crocheniacs]

😂😂😂 that’s a good one!

[@ahga_rierie]

I've told myself nearly every one of these lies. However, I've actually already finished 13 of my Christmas presents for this year!

[@Crocheniacs]

Wow!!! That’s amazing!!! You started very early 😍

[@elizabethonstage]

I’m crocheting as I watch this 😂 #5 Oh my gosh 😅 The amount of WIPS I have is… 🤣 I do work on multiple projects at once, but I’m also able to finish multiple at once. Sometimes I just get exhausted with one and need to switch to another ❤ Also- I struggle with severe chronic illnesses and I’m constantly back and forth to the hospital/doctor. And I quite literally have a “to- go” crochet pouch with stitch markers, hooks, a mini scissor, sewing needle. And I always carry one ball of yarn and a pattern that only requires one color 💗

[@Crocheniacs]

Crocheting and watching TV!!! This is a good one! Thanks so much for sharing your story! I am sorry to hear about your illness, but I hope Crochet makes this journey a bit lighter.

[@PataPtichou]

The biggest of all lies : "yes, I can count”

[@Crocheniacs]

😂

[@marlenebean]

I always tell myself I'm taking a break from the requests from friends so I can focus on other things or maybe even make something for myself... But I always get guilted into making more things for friends+family

[@Crocheniacs]

🤣 I can only imagine!

[@itmeamie]

4:19 I started crochet with this goal in mind and so far I’ve managed to stay on task. I’ve done 2 dolls 10 pair of socks finished one blanket now I’m working on the second blanket! However what I have been super guilty of is buying supplies and patters and setting them up for the next like 10 projects.

[@Crocheniacs]

hahaha We all buy more supplies than we can handle I guess 🤣 But you managed to crochet it all so far? You must be very organized!

[@itmeamie]

@@Crocheniacs i went nuts at first and made most of that in like 2 months. This second blanket is a challenge to learn different patterns. I’m doing a square panel blanket, 5 flat floral designs and 5 3D floral designs. I’m about half way done but it’s taken me almost 4 months so far!

[@paulavs9308]

"I'm not going to buy another pattern". Lies....😂

[@Crocheniacs]

ohhhh yeah! That one is a BIG lie! 🤣

[@yettiemcpherson3875]

I am the same way, I collect them almost as much as I do yarn. Every time I work a pattern that I have purchased and it is a bad pattern I swear I will never buy another...🤣🤣🤣 then I get a message from etsy saying that someone has a sale on patterns....well maybe these are written better... and here I go again 🙄 🤣🤣

[@yettiemcpherson3875]

I love your video, it is spot on!!! I agree with one of the other posts , something to the affect...no I think I know a better way of doing it than how the pattern is written, when really I don't. Anyway, I just found you here on YT and will be following you, and i will find your other accounts and follow those. Thank you for the content!!!

[@Crocheniacs]

Hi!!! I am SO glad you like the video and my channel! Thank you so much for your support 😘

[@shiloh_moonfrost]

Today I learned you are Brazilian. Just the way you said capybara made me think of it then I saw it was already in your channel description. I love your channel and it's nice to see another Brazilian in the english side of crochet. Um abraço, um beijo e tudo de bom pra ti!

[@Crocheniacs]

Yeeeeah! I am from Brazil 😍 Honestly, capibara is an easier word to pronounce in portuguese 🤣 Ohhh and thank you sooo much for being here and also for your kind words, my dear!

[@HeyItsMelB]

They're all so true 🫣 lovely to find you through this video - always on the lookout for other crochet youtubers 🥰

[@Crocheniacs]

I am SO glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you very much, my dear! 😘

[@colettehenderson6108]

My biggest lie is that I have ANY idea how to sew things on. 😂 I quite literally just guess every time.

[@Crocheniacs]

😂😂😂 that one is good !

[@PyroMynx]

I have solved a lot of problems in life through crocheting. Sure there are frustrating parts of crocheting, but the lessons learned are treasured. #7 hit me the most. ❤

[@Crocheniacs]

Ohhh I absolutely agree with you!!! Thanks so much for sharing 😘

[@teresascrochetandanimals]

last christmas, i did make something for my whole family . i made all the grandbabies stuffies and all my kids towel toppers and ornaments and made my inlaws towel toppers and my motherinlaw a scarf with pockets. my biggest lie is ill take a break from crocheting tomorrow. my husband says im always crocheting, but i recently had a heart attack and am supposed to relax and this is my way of relaxing. i hope you dont mind but im just starting out on my channelso i am going to use your idea in a different way though it may be a while though because i have lots of doc appointments coming up.

[@Crocheniacs]

Wow! That's pretty amazing! How long did it take for you to do it all? And yeah, I never take a break either 😂 It is a total lie! I am glad to hear you're using crochet to relax my dear. I hope you're doing well now! Wish all the best 😘

[@teresascrochetandanimals]

@@Crocheniacs I am doing better now thank you . And it took me about a month to do everyone’s gift. I have 30 grands so I chose things that wouldn’t take long lol

[@JuliaLynn1234]

I will take a break tonight. I always pick up a blanket for at least for a little bit while I am relaxing at the end of the day if even I don’t want to work on a more difficult pattern.

[@Crocheniacs]

Yeeeaaaah! oh I told that to myself a couple of times too! I almost never give myself a break 🤣

[@rantsofafangirl7000]

Not a crocheter at all but I can relate with my other crafts!! 😹

[@Crocheniacs]

I think we tell the same lie in different crafts!!! I have done other crafts in my life too, and the lies are pretty similar 😂😂😂

[@betsyharris2545]

Loved your video. It is all true!

[@Crocheniacs]

Thank yooou! I am so glad you liked it! 😍

[@northynorth]

Ooi Bia! I just found your channel and I started crocheting a month ago and all I can do and think about is crochet. I'm currently crocheting a bolero shrug while watching your video and I can totally relate. I finished a family requested crochet scarf yesterday night and immediately started the shrug. And for a bonus, I dreamed about making myself crochet socks. This hobby has consumed my life, my soul...and I'm super happy about it XD Prazer em conhecer 😅

[@Crocheniacs]

Hiii! Are you from Brazil too??? What a pleasure to have you here! And I know EXACTLY how you feel! I was traveling in an exchange program from my university and I kept thinking about crochet all the time 🤣 But I think it is an EXCELLENT hobby to consume our lives! Um prazer enorme te conhecer tambem!!!! 😘

[@northynorth]

@@Crocheniacs yeeah! I recognized you were brasileira que nem eu because of the name and the accent Kk as an English teacher, I got used to recognizing the Brazilian accent. It's very cool to find one of us out there kk. Me inscrevi e vou assistir mais =D

[@filmfehler8933]

I am a knitter and i mostly knitt christmassocks for my family i always plan them ahead an start right after christmas with the socks for next christmas. My boyfriend makes fun of it 😅. But i have only two pares left to make

[@Crocheniacs]

WOW! That's impressive! You are very organized, that's why you manage to do it for everyone! Congratulations!

[@dissodatore]

a hint for saving money on yarn and hooks/needles, thrift stores. I've even found big name knitting needles at a thrift store. And I've gotten good yarns as well.

[@Crocheniacs]

That's awesome! Thank you so much!!!!

[@VampireOfDisaster666]

I've just been crocheting for a couple of weeks and as a crafter I'm actually good at this. So, I decided I can definitely make the advanced crochet amigarumi. I bought the pattern today, read it for a bit and well... 🙈 (Obviously I just ordered the yarn and I'll see it through and in a couple of weeks we'll see how much I've lied to myself 🤣)

[@Crocheniacs]

OMG! 😂 That's a good one! I am cheering for you and your project, but girrrl, I know how challenging it can be 🤣

[@CrafTeeP]

I don’t amigurumi, I do wearables like pullovers, dresses, shawls, scarves, ponchos, also blankets and more… but yes, I also have some of those lies that you’ve mentioned. But I am worst about “I will just finish this row”, Lol.

[@Crocheniacs]

🤣 I think we all say the same lies, regardless of our crafts! I love to see people from outside the amigurumi world saying the same thing 😂

[@sugarkitty2008]

I'm doing crochet gifts this xmas. I've finished several, with 2 and a half to go (unless I do for more people). It's August. I gave myself plenty of time and now I'm just gonna have them in storage for months. I think the hardest part about it, is wanting to keep them.

[@Crocheniacs]

Wow! You are very organized, that's impressive! 😍

[@timothyhelm437]

Im a beginner as far as amigurumi. Its fun, but bc my crochet time is often late at night (its my relax time before bed,) i usually need something very repetitive and easy; blankets, washcloths, and the like. However, i totally relate to all 10 of these!! The only "partial" one for me is #4, but bc of what i make, its usually portable. I found out the hard way that i can Not make amigarumi in the car on road trips!!! I got carsick very quickly! For some reason, i dont have that trouble with blankets- for which im thankful as i have several gifts to get finished by this fall! 2 new babies on the way at church, & 3 little nieces all getting pretty cuddle blankets for Christmas!!! My brain never runs out of projects i want to do, & while i dont keep too many WIPs around, there are always one or two that get set aside when i find someone specific to make something for!😊😁😉❤ i enjoyed this video; very fun! ~Liz

[@Crocheniacs]

That's so interesting to hear about you getting car sick with amigurumi and not with other crochet projects. Maybe it's because of stitch counting? I get car sick very easily, it sucks because I cannot do anything when I take the road. I am very happy to hear you had fun with the video 😘

[@marydomingue9902]

Spot on!!🤔

[@CuteFox7339]

I have made Christmas, birthday and mother’s/Father’s Day gifts since 2022 now, and I’m very proud of myself for being able to be that when at times I can demotivate myself into thinking I won’t get it done it time 😅❤ And I’m always telling myself “I don’t neeeed that pattern/yarn (I always look on KZbin before I buy the patterns first) 😂”

[@Crocheniacs]

Wow! You must be very organized to be able to crochet Christmas presents for the whole family! I really admire you for being able to do it! I always have so many things to crochet, I feel that there's never enough time 🤣

[@Heidi2003]

This video was like looking into a mirror 😂! Love it❤

#1! 😂😂😂😂😂 Resonated invigorously well with that. GUILTY! 😅

[@Crocheniacs]

😂😂😂 there are so many I am guilty of ! Kkkk

[@luizagontijo561]

Tem uma mentira que falo muito. Muitos parentes e amigos me mandam ideias de coisas de crochê pra eu fazer. Sempre respondo “vou colocar na minha lista pra fazer um dia”. As vezes as coisas que mandam nem são tão legais, ou então umas 3 pessoas mandam a mesma coisa. Espero que ninguém nunca peça pra ver minha lista de coisas pra fazer, já que ela nem existe!

[@Crocheniacs]

MORRI! 🤣 Como eu esqueci dessa???? eu faço a mesma coisa! principalmente se te mandam algo que nao é legal! a gente so olha, diz que é bonito e uma hr vai fazer kkkkkkk

[@RainyDays2823]

I crocheted all my Christmas presents last year. Probably won't this year. It took so much time and killed my hands and I started my business this year so I don't think I'll have the time.

[@Crocheniacs]

WOW! That's impressive! It does take a long time to crochet for the whole family, I completely get you!

[@milacolaco4727]

I don't even try to crochet without stitch markers. I'm always losing focus! 😅

"I will never make this again".

[@OnlyJosee]

As someone who sells the large majority of their works, whenever I start a big plushie I always tell myself “I’m going to sell this one for sure!” 😅

[@susanvampressqueencolvin4721]

@@Crocheniacs IKR ⁉️😆

[@Synderai]

Not starting a new project until you finish the current one is not a lie but an intention. Crap happens you know, you forgot your yarn at home but still have some yarn you can use so you start a new project until you can get back to find the needed yarn.

[@Synderai]

Or maybe you don’t like the pattern and become uninspired. Not a lie it’s an intension ❤

[@Crocheniacs]

Yeaaaah! You’re absolutely right! Sometimes it is intentional, we don’t have the right yarn and everything. But sometimes it isn’t 😅 We just get excited with something new and pause this project for a while! We wish we had time to do everything, right?

[@patriciaparrales7907]

I think I say most of the lies you mention. 😂 😂 😂

[@Crocheniacs]

🤣 they are common for all of us crochet addicted! kkkkkk

[@Michellerosecusack]

Or spending money on magnets, wires, new safety eyes or joints, fidget tubes, slap bracelets or any other cool thing to make their armatures/skeletons better and more interactive play toys. 😅

[@maryannmanconi6295]

HA! I'm laughing over here. Out of ten, I don't do 3 lies. I use to do lie #10, but after a few years of ripping out my work, I finally gave in to using stitch markers. I'm not slow! 1. HA! one more row and an hour later I'm still going. 2. CHEAP? I'm in the poor house and my house could be a yarn store. 3. Yeah, I won't buy more yarn! That ain't happening! 4. You can carry your project anywhere. I tried that when my mom was in the hospital. All I got was a sore back from carrying my bag. Never got any work done. 5. Oh this was a good one. I sat here and told myself I didn't have any "unfinished" projects. HA, HA, HA! I forgot I put away all those projects so I woulldn't see them. 6. NEVER said this project would be fast - I'm not! Too much of a perfectionist. 7. OH, THIS ONE! HELL NO!!!!!!! I NEVER find crochet relaxing. I am a NUT! I have to understand what I'm doing. And if I don't, everyone's life becoomes HELL until I do! LOL No, seriously, it does become hell. 8. Can't go to a yarn store here - I'm house bound with my mom and besides, we don't have yarn stores here with the yarn I like. Most of the yarn I like comes from Turkey, Denmark, South America, Italy, etc. 9. I tried this last year and almost ended up in the asylum. Never do that again. and 10. I learned my lesson. LOL Oh Bianca, I MISS YOU! Hope your class is going great!

[@Crocheniacs]

Hi my dear Mare! Things are great here, I am studying A LOT! Got crazy in the first days, and anxiety was taking over me, but now I am better 🤣 What about you? WOW, you could relate to 7 out of 10??? That's so funny! There are so many things only crocheters can understand, I love to have fun with those topics. We are very much alike! "The Christmas Present" lie is one I super relate to you! I cannot do that... in order to gift everyone, I would have to start in January and for sure, it won't happen! 😂
