The 2024 Crochet Games Opening Ceremony

[@CraftyVegan]

The “where is my hook 🤨” traditional dance was the same dance I was doing right before I sat down to watch 😭

[@velvety2006]

and you find every hook you lost before except the one you need XD

[@fikanera838]

What a riot! When you were talking about a huge secret project, I never for a minute considered Crolympics! Fantastic production values, congratulations!

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Yeah I'm binging your channel (as everyone should!). You are hilarious, and this is an incredible idea, I can't wait to see the rest of it!

[@chantaleperron]

What a Fantastic + FUN+ Brilliant video! Seriously, in the last 13 years I've been crocheting (amigurumis!), I can't find or remember having watched NOTHING that come close to this one regarding the creativity and quality of this content done by a crocheter/designer/youtuber! Leigh ( and you sister also, I think...) did a FANTASTIC JOB!!!! The execution of this video is so Good: Leigh being dresseed, + hair and make up as a TV and/or Ceremony host, the screen being split into sections, with the spectators applauding, the Olympics logo in motion in front of Leigh, etc. Wow, I was really impressed!🤩I could go on and on: -the publicity was excellent!😆 -the traditionnal danse had me so much laughing!😆 -you co-host was just perfect, with each of his intervention!😁 -and I loved seing all the crocheters from around the world and theirs mini clip! I CAN'T WAIT for tomorrow!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩 I will be there for sure, front row!!!!😍😍😍 -

[@SkeinSpider]

Tysm!! To be honest I was afraid it was a bit too ridiculous lol but I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

[@makeitwithalex4483]

1:40 had me laughing out loud - we all know this ‘genuinely beautiful performance’ 10:17 was hysterical - the Crolympic torch … Leigh, you have outdone yourself!

[@Siobhan143]

I loved seeing how everyone holds their hook and yarn slightly differently or uses the hook in different ways. I was really excited to see someone that throws the yarn like I do!

[@herdogcyn156]

This is the best!! I laugh so hard the minute you lifted the skein of yarn. I could see where it was going and it was a gold medal win. Can't wait to see the rest of the Crolypics.

[@CaughtBetweenPages]

This turned out absolutely brilliantly, i was so excited to see my clip in the parade♥️ thank you for making such a beautiful showcase of this community!

[@MsBoatwoman]

2 minutes in and I have to pause because of laughing. Brilliant performance, the time and effort expended before actually having to stand up is Gold!

[@overworkedwarlock94]

I'm ecstatic that both of my videos got in! I'm so glad I joined the Discord, it is such a wonderful community.

[@bytheyarnful]

This is so awesome 😂 If I had any forethought I might have used a different clip, but maybe I can just say my Dino Thumb (iykyk) is a tribute to Robo Raptor 🤣🤣

[@stitchwithbritt5922]

This is amazing😁. To those of you that keep losing you’re crochet hooks I recommend finding a small tray to keep you’re hooks and small notions on when you crochet. I have never lost a hook thanks to my notions tray🥰. Can’t wait to see what happens next on the crolympics games💕

[@blackcat9703]

Hilarious!! Thanks for the laughs. Can't wait for the rest 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kaytiej8311]

Love the narrative. So very creative. Well done on a spectacular effort. Truly medal worthy!

[@user-ex5eo3vy1v]

Well done! I can’t imagine a more exciting opening ceremony for the Crolympics!🎉🎉🎉

[@cocoscrochet6380]

Hi Leigh 🤗 this was so clever! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻 🥰🧶🤩

[@nikkid1300]

I love this so much my family stopped and asked me what I was watching. Thank you so much for this. Can’t pick a highlight, it’s all great. 🤣❤

[@grandmasmagic3858]

I lost it with the "dance of the lost crochet hook"..my son asked me what I was cackling over and I told him..he laughed hard too..I'm looking forward to each days events (because I can't actually watch the REAL Olympics on telly cause we don't have a TV antenna)...

[@emtpwanabe]

I was attempting the beautiful “where’s my hook” traditional dance while watching this. Several times.

[@angelaporch2984]

Omg that was fantastic. Can’t wait to see the rest of the week. Thanks for sharing. Hugs

[@barbied4473]

This turned out amazing and I was smiling the whole time! So many talented people. Looking forward to the crolympic games. Now where is my hook😂

[@Lynniescorner]

This was hysterical! Now, in my house, the tradition is done multiple times a day (does that make us professionals?). Also, because of my health, that means the dance has become partner to group dance! This was great!

[@SkeinSpider]

Definitely in the Pro's 😂.

[@marjonantoons7538]

Oh wauw! I cannot wait for the rest of de Crolympics! Great idea, excellent performance. All tens from the jury!

[@KnotMartini]

That was so much fun! You have a really great comedic talent! 😊

[@mewsli]

Small boy yelled " Granmaaaaaa" . I saw the video upload and hurriedly sent off my payment for the super dooper crochet accessory ! PS Grandson wants his RoboRaptor to be as sartorial dressed as yours. Guess I'm making a wrap then.

[@SkeinSpider]

Aw, that's really cute. Your grandsons Roboraptor gets to be a fashion icon too, brilliant 😂

[@Teerae11]

Omg omg this was brilliant !! So cool !!! You did amazing !! You looked beautiful !! Sounded awesome !! I never realized that the collection of videos that you were asking for was for something like this !! Love it , love it !! Well done !! And Thank You for this !!

[@ramonacowman7409]

[@lexiharding5498]

[@danielecampbell7850]

OMG! This was adorable, and I can't wait for the remainder of the Crolympics!

[@madelinebrooks4726]

🤣 This is incredible. Thank you for the heartfelt laughs!

[@Lindas5811]

Great Job. I love your presentation.

[@Evie-rp6pe]

I feel the center pull stich dilemma so much 😂 my yarn always has a yarn baby

[@SkeinSpider]

Same. Even for this video I had to deal with the yarn baby before I could get a shot of the proper centre pull lol.

[@ericathefae]

I adore everything about this!!!

[@knottymarietta]

Thank you, I enjoyed the show. Best host and co-host.😂

[@gemmaoma2770]

I love it with tears in my eyes from laughing i thank you for loving intro and hope i will see all of the Crolimpics😂🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😘😘

[@therumimillcrochet]

Such a fun and creative video!! 😍❤️🧶

[@CandiceOutlaw]

This is genius 👏 🙌 you look fantastic by the way 😀 truly original, I love this ❤

[@meiloslyther]

This is so silly and wholesome and I am here for it!

[@StarshineLegacyFan]

This was such an original and clever video. I got such a good laugh 😂 thank you

[@fidothecdn]

This is wonderful! An Olympics Games I can get behind- sorry, Crolympics :)

[@galiane7365]

I'm late to the ceremony, but that was awesomely hilarious!! Looking forward to catching up with the days I missed XD Thanks so much for this awesome job!

[@piperrose6837]

That was beautiful, I got a lovely laugh out of it

[@michelleellis1290]

Absolutely Loved it ❤❤❤

[@glasslady4360]

Brilliant!

[@knittingwithkitties]

This was by far the best thing I ever saw in my life! I can't wait to watch the rest. I got a good laugh. The dance was perfect. Though for me it's "wheres my scissors?" I keep losing those suckers non stop and guess what............ they are in front of my face on my desk..... I'm not scissors impaired... my scissors hate me. Maybe they should watch the games with me. Might learn a few things. 😂

[@SkeinSpider]

Oh, that's the worst, when you spend ages looking for something, only for it to be literally right in front of you all along 😂😂

[@knittingwithkitties]

@@SkeinSpider I do that too much... I have cats, I forget I have cats so I step on toys non stop...LOL.. Oh and I sent the video to my son and he loved it. He knows nothing on crochet but mom loves it and he said the dance was awesome. He was shocked at how all out you went with the video. Maybe I can trick him into watching more!😁

[@cathrynlisa]

I'm doing the where the #@*☆'s my hook dance right now

[@cindynalieka]

Amazing video!!! Cant wait to see tmws.

[@joanneore2358]

This was great! Loved it ,,

[@kidb8497]

What an awesome video and brilliant idea.

[@ASquareGranny]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!! ☺️🫶🏻🧶

[@oliverrose7796]

Heads up because I don't want you to have to deal with this just in case - the olympic committee has been very litigious in the past and sent a cease and desist to Ravelry for hosting a knitting event named after the olympic games. They ended up having to rename their event. I learned about it from emmainthemoment's first vid about Ravelry. I wouldn't want you and all of the amazing creators involved in this event to have to deal with a big company coming after you, so I thought I'd let you know. I don't agree with this behavior at all, but unfortunately cannot mind-control the olympic committee into being more reasonable people.

[@Snek_Go_Boop]

I thought about this too but I’m hoping since they are a small creator that they’ll go unnoticed this time. I feel hopeful that maybe crolympic should be different enough of a name, but it’s the thumbnail and the general theme that I hope doesn’t end up getting Leigh in trouble. I really want to hope though because it’s such a fun video and idea and she’s put in so much hard work

[@SkeinSpider]

Thanks for the reminder! I've made a couple of changes just to be (hopefully) safe.

[@rhondacollins9991]

You crack me up!

[@GabbingGrammy]

Absolutely adorable

[@NadineL.-xp2wm]

I'm really excited to see all the events! (but worried for you becausw of the litigious olympic committee, you might want to change the name just in case)

[@SkeinSpider]

Yeah, thanks for the heads up 👍. Definitely a good idea to make some changes.

[@aksez2u]

Amazing!

[@lisagauci3354]

That was awesome

[@YarnZombiee]

Well done , so good and funny and well thought out , I also loved seeing my clip !! can't wait for the events to follow, btw is that a Minecraft torch?

[@SkeinSpider]

Thanks so much for sharing your footage with me and yes, that is definitely a minecraft torch lol

[@erinpriest9491]

[@dragonskull4102]

[@dees3179]

I solved my where the f… is my hook problem by putting all my crochet tools in a drawer. Then I forgot I’d done it. Then all my hooks were missing and I couldn’t figure it out for the longest time. Normally only one gets lost. Well done not Leigh.
