The Last Of My 2024 Plushie Makes Crochet Amigurumi Plushie Patterns

[@SCARFvr16Drawz]

I just added that snake tutorial to my watchlist… glad you talked about it & saved me 38 minutes lol

[@craftysue519]

No hangover here! New Years has never been a big deal for me! That Momo, he is so cute! Great job. I have to make a snake one of these days, never have. Sounds like it’s time for a trip to Michael’s so you can feel the yarn before buying it! Send that crap back and we’ll go one a Michael’s shopping extravaganza!! 🦋💖🦋💖

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

In person would be ideal if the stores actually had a yarn section. They have all cut back so much there is not much to choose from. Yes MoMo did turn out great!!

[@bratsmom6749]

No headache for me! My cat and I were in bed at 10:15 and fell asleep with KZbin! We are real party animals! 😻

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

[@acraftyseason1007]

Old soul crochet does the twist with slip stitch’s and single crochets. She has the coolest octopus pattern ever with this technique.

[@debbieward-crochet]

OMG that MoMo is beyond adorable! Happy New Year! 🎉 I am glad you have embraced the larger eyes. That has always been my preference. 😊

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I can't say I have embraced them fully, yet, 😂

[@debbieward-crochet]

[@helpmeplease3735]

Happy new year 🎉😃

[@HoofnIt03]

No hangover here. I went to bed early to watch my yarnie friends on KZbin, and was crashed by 9:30. Love the Orange Crush dragon! I need to find that yarn! 🧡 Momo! Oh my gosh!!!

[@margaretcummings8272]

Great dragon 🐉 lovie, and all the rest are, of course, as usual, Adorable!!!.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thanks, I think the dragon is my favorite too! 😄

[@sarahschreffler5407]

I love the dragon ring. Going to see if my daughter would be interested (to sell other fellow junior high students)

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

She should do it. I think it will be a hit.

[@camillescrochet777]

Happy New Year! ❤ Mo Mo 😊

[@donnajacobs2158]

Happy new year

[@BarbaraBachinskie]

Happy New Year!!🎉😊

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Same to you!

[@shannanbogner5459]

I have seen other KZbin channels reporting the same issues. Happy New Year!!!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Yes! I’m hoping this is a temporary issue! 😊

[@beverlyhickey2705]

Happy New Year!!! I am late… but I love seeing all your things! I got my book yesterday, can hardly wait to make something. Thank you for sharing.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I am so glad you got the book and hope you enjoy it!

[@michellethrelkeld4801]

That would be adorable on a water bottle. A bit bigger. Or on a wrist using the slap wrist bands 😁

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Yes!!

[@CherylDathome]

Happy New Year to you and your family. No partying here we stayed home. Lol

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Hope you had a fun night in!

Same to you!

Happy New Year! Love the Chickens!

[@Beeknottycrochet]

I love the dragon ring. Everything is adorable.

[@sk13507]

Too funny, I was a good girl and no hang over here. Happy New Year!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

😂

[@Jennifer-oi8ni]

Robin, great video. I like that dragon ring! Didn’t do anything for the new year. I’m making a temperature blanket. I started the 1st of January. Tfs Jen in South Dakota.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Current year or historical?

[@Kristytompkins-yn4iy]

Happy New Year! Crocheting on NYE

[@conniemiller4693]

Yes the body

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Turn the head upside down with the nose pointing away from you then you will surface crochet no magic ring nine single crochets in a circle using rounds five and seven of the head as a guide. I know they say magic circle but that’s gotta be a typo in every single one of the patterns in the book you don’t do that.

[@conniemiller4693]

Robin I am making a lovely the body part with the 9-12 on back of head help

[@conniemiller4693]

The Dash Dino patteren

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

@@conniemiller4693 is that from the book?

[@conniemiller4693]

The Dash Dino patteren yes from the mama made mimi

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

@ what is the question

[@dawnbaranski701]

MoMo ❤️❤️❤️

[@jackieschneider7354]

The ring dragon is adorable. I can see that being very popular at markets, especially at the school event. I have been switching from parfait chunky to sweet snuggles lite but keep watching everyone telling how bad it got! Thanks for demonstrating as I didn’t realize how bad. I have to pop into Michael’s and see if Canada has just as bad yarn. No hangover here, strongest drink was a Pepsi 😂. Good luck at market! Now have to rewatch video as “someone kept talking to me!”

[@judymckinstry8130]

29:22 Happy New Year! 🎉 Love your makes. Especially Momo. So cute!

[@dawnbaranski701]

Rooster ❤️❤️❤️

[@michellethrelkeld4801]

I have made spirals using sc inc and slp st. On one side you increase the other side you slip stitch. But I have no idea the combination she used to create the snake. I am waiting for the pattern too.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Tomorrow!!

[@Lorrainebreternitz]

Happy New Year! I’m not a drinker or partier so same as any other day for me. Love that you are trying more of the MMM loveys from the book! Your Dusty turned great in that yarn color! I think that dragon ring will be a hit with the kiddos for sure! Sorry to hear your Michael’s order was disappointing. I can’t believe that made it out of the warehouse like that!!! There has to be some sort of quality control right!? I just got my Herrschners Catalog in the mail and they have a new yarn called “Skwishy” on the front that looks like parfait chunky. I’m totally going to have to try that next time I order from there!! They have some nice colors too! Check the website to see what it is all about. I don’t know why it is so hard to get the yarn somewhat consistent!! Color I can almost forgive, but not texture differences!! I hope you have a great weekend.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I will definitely take a look at that but order like 1 just in case it’s awful 😂. That order was very disappointing. I love how my dragon lovey turned out.

[@Lorrainebreternitz]

@ Oh, for sure! I’ll order 2 of one color so I don’t run out in the middle of a project, but will make sure I like it before ordering every color! 😂🤣

[@melissastewart5838]

Try burnt sienna joanns has it in the 430 yard ball you can order it.

[@jackiebechler8823]

Happy New Year!! Your dragon lovey is cute!! That colorway played out very nicely!! Oh my goodness on the MoMo, how adorable!! Good to know on snake pattern coming out. You know, I haven't bought any snake pattern yet, I just really don't like snakes. I know my grandsons would like them. I feel the same with the spider.

[@AntisocialAuntie]

Your makes are freaking adorable (of course). I was online trying to learn how to do a color spiral to make a candy cane whale and could only find people using double crochet. I think I figured out how to do it but the holidays at work has me not touching yarn 😭

[@conniemiller4693]

Happy new year 🎉love your stuff

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Happy New Year to you too! 🎉

[@allyson5712]

Had a nice quiet evening with hubby, no hangover, but did enjoy some beer and pizza! Held up my left foot right before midnight, went to bed shortly thereafter. I don’t know what’s going on with the yarn industry, seems to be across the board with the plush yarns, do they think that we don’t notice???! Prices going up, quality going down. I think we really do have to go to the stores and pick it out to know what we’re getting. And call or send emails to let them know that yes(!) we do notice. Happy New Year everyone!!! 😊 Edit: meant to mention how adorable Momo is!!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Yay for no hang over. You’re right but it will take the masses to speak out about the yarn just a few complaints will do nothing!

[@allyson5712]

Premier knows they have had quality issues and admitted so when I called. They sent quality replacements at no charge. Their CEO is Hal Ozbelli. I’d have to research the others but we, the yarn community, do matter to them they just need to hear from us. I hear ya about the masses, but I believe that every time one of us speaks up we are contributing to being one of the masses and who knows, we might just have an impact. I do believe they try to market products that they may know are inferior all for the sake of money, but when they hear from their consumers that we noticed and aren’t happy about it, they may work to resolve the issues. Just my opinion, but I’m not afraid to speak up, whether it’s positive or negative feedback. They need to hear the positive too, when they improve. It’s a pain in the butt because it’s time-consuming, but hopefully it helps facilitate good quality control and has them paying attention. Edit: just thought of a couple more points - contact the yarn company NOT the resellers or third-parties (ie Joann), keep it professional, saying “Your yarn is crap and I won’t be buying it anymore!” is not nearly effective as explaining exactly which yarn it is, including lot numbers, and what exactly is wrong with the yarn (thickness, texture etc) and that the difference from what it used to be is very noticeable, along with who you are and how you use their yarn. Robin, you and other KZbinrs may have even more of an impact because you’re reaching thousands of people and quite possibly influencing their yarn buying choices.

[@Amygurumi_Stitches]

NOOO! I literally have that tutorial paused as I crochet the 15 round of HDC and am watching you. It's looking cute, but I didn't realize we're moving to DCs after this. Argh. CrochetGrove's pattern looks amazing, but I have to work tomorrow and wanted to work on a snake today so thought I'd give this one a go.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I was writing the pattern down as she displayed it on the screen, I'm glad I didn't jump right in. I'm sure it would be fine if you were making it for yourself but not to sell. It looked very cute in her thumbnail.

[@Amygurumi_Stitches]

@ Started Crochet Grove’s pattern and it is spiraling beautifully. I hope you review next video! She recommended a 4.5 hook for Bernat. I’m doing it even though it is much smaller than what I normally use. Wondering if it would not look as good with a larger hook. Also worried I might be overstuffing.

[@nancywilliams798]

The Mo? Not sure I’m spelling right 😂 is very cute 😊 I have vowed not to buy anymore patterns until I make the ones I bought several months ago 😮 14 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, hope you’re having a great new year and don’t forget to eat your black eyed peas ❤

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Good luck with the pattern challenge! 😂 I try and fail all the time 😂 Yuck black eye peas! Not me!!

[@michellethrelkeld4801]

Happy New Year! Lol i was relaxing and crocheting Emma, the elephant. Lol no drinking for me! Lol

[@Stacymakes]

Happy New Year 🎉. Lovely makes! Lots of people complaining about the Michaels. For those that love Chenille yarn I'm wondering if Hobbii is the way to go? It's more parfait chunky weight but I e never seen anyone complain about the consistency. Just have to get it on sale. 🤷‍♀️.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I’ve used it before and I like it. Just don’t like the price!

[@DeannaCrochetMagician]

Happy New Year to you Robin. Nope no hangover for me. Was in bed by 7pm. I have a custom order to do then want to do the scrappy bear. I so like him.I do hope they get the yarn problem fixed. It’s crappy quality but yet they want to charge the same price. Hoping the new year bring better yarn.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Happy New Year! I hope you have fun with the scrappy bear!

[@kristaj1392]

Happy New Year 🥳 no hangover for me! I also don’t drink, I stayed home with my dog, he gets spooked by the fireworks so he usually likes to cuddle up with me ❤ I had ordered Michaels yarn to make my nephew a minion for Christmas and the black yarn looked just like your pink yarn like rats chewed on it or something 😅 it was flat and felt weird, it also stained my crochet hook blackish blue not sure if that’s normal or not since this was the first time for me using black chenille home slim yarn, it is very disappointing when the yarn looks like the way it does and then still have that expensive price of $11.99 CAD 😭

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I haven't had a yarn stain my hook (metal) but I have had some reds stain my fingers and nails. Yes it stinks they still charge premium prices for inferior quality yarn.

[@AntisocialAuntie]

I took a Benadryl and watched anime. Because I am a wild woman. 🤣

[@theresawest5647]

I just made 3 of the finger dragons. I love them???

[@jillanderson1948]

I love your dragon Lovie. The ombré yarn is awesome. I can see kids loving the ring dragon. Great makes! I have been disappointed with the Michaels yarn. I used the rhubarb color for a dragon and it took forever. The yarn dragged on my hook and seemed like it got stuck on itself. Does that make sense? It was hard to pull the stitches through and wouldn’t frog. I’m thinking I’ll try Alize Velluto after I use up what I have.

[@lisapettit7403]

Crochet by Janina pronunciation is: Yeah-neena. The way that the light was hitting the Momo I thought that his inner ears were buffalo plaid! It is very cute. No hangover here. I stopped drinking many years ago. I just went to bed. Happy "non-hangover" New Year!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thank you!!

[@tammyturner5507]

Only “hang over “ is from being up listening to all the gunshots!😂😂

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

We had a lot of that here too!

[@dianecummins4168]

No hang over here 😂 I am going to have to make a dino ring. Hilarious! I am floored with difference between those 2 yarn batches. The new looks so cheap. How dare they!!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Right!!!

[@mommajessiesboutique]

I'm not a drinker either. I spent the evening with my family at home and building my cabinet with my hubby. My brain couldn't think how to do the ring on with the dragon. Maybe once my craft area is clean I can think.

[@ayanadixon4763]

I just made the dragon ring yesterday! I used posh, and it still came out fairly small. How did you do the tail piece, because I want to add it to mine.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Surface crochet dc, hdc,sc,ch, then around the other side in reverse order

[@Grammys_Crocheting]

lol no I fell asleep and woke up at 12:05.

[@rachaelwhite2805]

Dec and inc on opposite sides is my guess

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

mine too but how many regular rows between them is the question. Will find out tomorrow 😂

[@rachaelwhite2805]

@KnottingHookCrochet we will indeed

[@kathyadams3366]

What size hook do you use for your turtles?

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

6mm with sweet snuggles lite and home slim

[@jayc6159]

Oh good it’s not just me. I ordered a bunch of terracotta for projects and was like what is wrong with this? It was thinner, slippery and almost like a velvet. I kept it but I was a little disappointed with the texture.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Velvet was my thought too!

[@beverlyrosson3026]

I totally agree with you on Michael's changes....I'm sooo disappointed and angry...I'm on a quest to find as much of the old yarn as I can. If you need another voice to add to the complaint to Michaels...please add me in. I'm not sure what I'm going to use ....there really isn't a comparative yarn out there. If there is, please let me know.

[@TheXena173]

it is done with short rows

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Is what done with short rows?

[@conniemiller4693]

Where do I buy the circle on the back is my question

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

@@conniemiller4693 for attaching the body?

[@TheCelestialHomebody]

I just drove an hour to my nearest Michael’s today because they finally had the terra cotta in stock and every single skein was AWFUL! You can tell just by looking at it that it has a shine and is SO thin. Big twist Baby Bear has changed the formula too and I’m so bummed. It’s my favorite worsted weight chenille. 😥

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I don’t know what’s going on with the yarn. I can’t imagine that all the companies decided to lower the quality on their yarns all at the same time. So frustrating!

[@kimberlyhelmick386]

I recently got orders from Michaels and I was very disappointed with the pink, agave and terracotta. Considering they’re always out of terracotta, I feel like I’m going to keep it.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Same colors as mine, very disappointing!

[@jessicareynolds2036]

I'm sad about the sweet snuggles light its horrible now! From what Ive heard they changed how they make it and that's what were going to be stuck with now!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Gosh I hope not!!

[@kathyadams3366]

I never order Bernat anymore, to much inconsistency. I always buy it in store now so I can feel it.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

It’s like that with all the brands any more.

[@Earlytimes2350]

The yarn looks like the quality control was bad. Maybe a new manufacturer.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Maybe

[@ashleystrauss6883]

I run into the same with Bernat Blanket. I will only buy in person anymore.
