Studio Vlog | I Wrote a New Pattern! Crochet With Me and Market Prep Productive Vlog

[@cmhandmadeco]

i am a mood crocheter as well and have a big list like you. I have a hard time getting started because I overthink things and sometimes feel like I procrastinate more than I do. Yesterday, I tried this strategy for market prepping!! I pick a series to watch and after an hour episode I choose another item from my list to switch to making. The switching keeps me entertained. lol. It might not be the most efficient, but it keeps my focus and interest higher. So yesterday I worked on mini frogs for one hour, mini pigs for one hour and dino snugglers for one hour while watching the latest season of Survivor! I felt less like I "had to" crochet and not "tied down" to finish a project.

I'm usually crocheting to KZbin videos or audiobooks. I typically check KZbin first thing in the morning to see if any of the channels I subscribe to have new videos (I LOVE your long videos!) and when I'm caught up on those, I'll switch to an audiobook. Most recently, I listened to The Fourth Wing followed by Iron Flame. Also, I have to say having a highlight of the free patterns you use is genius! I'm still trying to figure out how to organize all the patterns I like, both free and paid ones. I find myself abandoning WIPs a lot because I can't remember where that pattern is or even which one if it's one of those patterns that are everywhere with slight differences.

[@SafariStitches]

@@helloimparadox yesss I do the same thing! YT first and then I switch to either audiobook or a comfort show afterwards depending on my mood. If it’s a heavily involved pattern I’m working on, I avoid audiobooks because I get sucked in and look track of the pattern 🤣🤣🤣 I LOVEEEE fourth wing and iron flame. I can’t wait for the next book.

You do such a good job on all your animals! I would love if you did an embroidery video to show how you do eyes and faces.

[@SafariStitches]

@@richiesmom12 I can definitely do that!

[@cheridefries4980]

Also…a bulky scarf would be perfect for your first Flynn to keep his head steady. 😁

[@SafariStitches]

@@cheridefries4980 yes! I was thinking the same thing! I’m hoping to have some time this week to get one made for him so I can take him to my market this weekend. The second one is much more sturdy 🤣

[@jenniferapowell]

Thanks for another great video! Would you be open to sharing any techniques you use for stuffing? Mine are always lumpy and kinda sad looking. 😂

[@SafariStitches]

@@jenniferapowell absolutely! I can make a video about how I do it! I’ll add it to the list 😊

[@jenniferapowell]

@ thank you!

What pattern did you use for the elephant snuggler? 🐘 Love the rainbow colours you used for the octopus. 🌈🐙 I'd do the grey in the centre bottom. The navy and green is a great combo. For TV shows, depends on what you like. NCIS, West Wing, White Collar and Macgyver are all good.

[@SafariStitches]

@@theresaburg5881 may the elephant by bkaycrochet! And thank you for then recommendations!!

[@richiesmom12]

I wish I had a crochet page I would love to test Flynn, I have crocheted 40 years and love making plushies.

[@Lipsfordays920]

My guess would be a fox. Haven’t seen the end yet!

Hi! Which possum pattern do you use? Sorry if I missed that in the video :)

[@SafariStitches]

Did you get the mushroom earrings from Twins beautique on Etsy? … 🍄

[@SafariStitches]

@@kimethaturner152 they are from CKClaybyK on Etsy! It was a stud pack with mushrooms, maple leaves, and sunflowers!

[@SafariStitches]

@@kimethaturner152 looks like that earring pack isn’t available anymore, but I bought a bunch of earrings from her last year and they’re amazing

[@kimethaturner152]

@@SafariStitches i thought i recognized those. i have the mushrooms also. Mabye i found her site via you then, LOL. mabye you mentioned her before or something because that is a lot of coincidence to be unrelated. but look at us twinning!! and you convinced me to get that bunny pattern, the way you did it turned out so cute. i was not a believer until i saw your bunny so i hope mine turns out cutesy and demure like yours. :0)

[@SafariStitches]

@ I’m pretty new to KZbin and I think this the first time I’ve worn those earrings in a video! So I don’t think you heard it from me! lol. Which bunny pattern did you snag? I didn’t make a bunny in this video 🥰🥰

[@kimethaturner152]

@@SafariStitches geesh, I don't know why i had bunny on the mind. it was Pebbles the elephant by JNW crochet. totally love how yours came out.
