I just sat down to work up your Deaths-head Hawkmoth. That is until I made the mistake of checking KZbin and saw THIS AWESOMENESS!!

[@ASquareGranny]

I love seeing your video pop up in my feed! I think of you as “Thursday”, ngl. Thank you for your hard work (I KNOW a LOT of work goes into each and every video, not “just” crochet), and for sharing yourself with all of us! Hugs from your “mum” across the pond! And ADORABLE as always!!! 🎃🧡 xx - Lisa 🫶🏻☺️🧶

[@ComplicatedKnots]

I'll take a mum hug! Mum hugs are the best :)

[@akizaichihara2286]

I saw this project and my crochet bug came back! Thank you so much! I stitched it up for the kids ward at the hospital I'm working it just in time for Halloween and they loved it (and the staff loved it even more lol).

[@owllover813]

[@JillyMae89]

Yesss back to weekly!! But you don't have to be super strict about it if you're feeling burnt out 🤗

[@lindajeanhouse6443]

I'm so happy I found you recently. I have learned great things by watching your methods. This entire project is fantastic, but I must say the bat is my favorite.

[@muzzycosmos9400]

Nothing to say. I comment just to help the algorithm, since it's a awesome video

[@stayshiny4775]

If yall like halloween crochet projects I'm following crochet day by day and she is doing a halloween project each day! It's been really good. Loved this video! I don't think I'm going to make a tree but definitely the pumpkin stack!

[@kayleighfitt1293]

This would make a good postbox topper! 🇬🇧

[@susannechinn647]

I just found your channel, I subscribed as I was amazed at your being able freestyle crochet critters. Your drawings are talented and it a treat to hear an Aussie artist.

[@kaylab1157]

[@bethanywilliams1550]

My brain just exploded! Watching you stich the branch with the increase/decrease magic for a slope - omg yarn sculpting ensues!! I get it! I GOT IT !!!!!!!!! OMG . I understood and am so inspired and excited. Thank you so so so much.

[@nixhixx]

A few random tufts of grass sticking up here and there would add a great texture change!

[@nixhixx]

As well as a fallen branch maybe.

[@ComplicatedKnots]

At one point I was going to add grass all over the base!

[@poppykitten6138]

Cool❤ thank you 👍🏾

[@nicolemaxwell2943]

Oh my goodness! I’m so excited to make this! I can’t wait to get started! Right now I’m making your giant frog!

[@ComplicatedKnots]

You can never have too many frogs!

[@fionam5707]

You should do a challenge where you design a piece without planning anything, and no undoing rows, basically just making it as you go (if you think it would be enough of one). Also I love this pattern it's adorable!!

[@boxerdogsmom]

Amzing❤

[@jackieschneider7354]

That’s amazing but my fat fingers would struggle. I love the teeny tiny bat🥰

[@alisongeorge3089]

Am I going to make this? Not this year, but I'm enjoying watching you work as I wind yarn into balls for next year's fall fair entry

[@ianis2714]

oooo casper will be happy. :)

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Gotta keep those ghosts friendly :)

[@drawacrab]

Crispy triangles! 40:32

[@Crocamian]

L❤VE IT❣️

[@Anne5440_]

I'm so excited by this make. It's something I really want to do. I dont understand the pokémon game at age 76. But I watch that to see how you form the creatures creatures. This one, I will adapt to my own use and learn in the making of it myself. I so enjoy watching you create shapes and creatures. I dream of making impkins and have that and her other books. Your method of creating makes very good sense to me. You are also very fun to watch.

[@Anne5440_]

PS I have forgotten the meaning and purpose of the combined totals.

[@ComplicatedKnots]

When I'm stitching "5 rows of 10 stitches" I don't count to 10 five times, I just count 50 stitches. I include combined totals in case it makes it easier for anyone else to do it that way :)

[@Anne5440_]

@ComplicatedKnots Thank you. I understand now. I just adore this pattern and got ideas for variations. I intellectually understand your design design directions. I'm still enough of a beginner at amigurumi. I don't trust my ability to execute patterns, much less change them. I began traditional crochet in 1963. The crochet world has come a long way in the last 20 years, I believe.

[@Mountlougallops]

OMG ❤❤❤❤❤

[@LoriWolfcat]

Can you make a pattern for the giant pumpkin you made a few years ago? With the sinked in eyes and mouth? I’d like to know if there’s a way to do that as a normal sized crocheted pumpkin.

[@jenny4444js]

Can you please crochet both Pikachu and Pachirisu and put the pattern on your patreon? Also do you have the eeveelutions on your patreon? I really want to crochet them myself! Also we need more videos in your amigurumi course series!! Xx

[@ComplicatedKnots]

The eeveelutions I've made (I'm missing glaceon, leafeon and sylveon) are on Patreon!

[@jenny4444js]

Awesome! Thank you! Xx

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

*AWESOME* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I freakin' love this! This is Fa-BOO-lous! (see what I did there, lol!)

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

Should we be yarning under instead of over? Or, rather, will yarning over change the look of the project??

[@millyboop2047]

the tiny teddies cereal box 🗿

[@sondostalgana395]

جميل جدا. احب هذا. واريد المزيد من أنماط الهالوين شكرا لك.

[@katelynhansen4388]

Little Harry the bat

[@lorih.2853]

Does anyone else see the brown (brown marble) used for the tree trunk as a gray color lol

[@florencefullen9456]

can we use 4# medium weight acylic yarn and what is 8 ply dk yarn

[@rebeccalane5610]

So amazing, do you think using metal wires and magnets would make them removable ? Or would the magnets need to be really strong to work through the yarn?

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Probably strong magnets, but you'd have to test it to know for sure...I've seen people use magnets successfully with crochet before!

[@cassandraking6773]

Where can I get this yarn you're using in this video? I only have red heart acrylic yarns 4ply

[@Miru_Man]

I want to eat the lemon sorbet yarn

[@laurejohannesen1024]

True human experience. I relate

[@omri9252]

Can u make a Coraline doll please ?

[@FanFav101]

I was hoping for some more spoopy music lol

[@Cute._.kreationz]

Hi, I would like to know if people can sell the finished product, with also crediting you for pattern?

[@ComplicatedKnots]

Yes you can :)

[@Cute._.kreationz]

@ComplicatedKnots okay thank you for replying!

[@JillyMae89]

Wait you don't have fall down there????

[@ComplicatedKnots]

We have Autumn? I just don't think it's quite at the level of what I've seen on TV for the US/Canada.

[@shellykearney7821]

🥰🧶🎃

[@juanitadaniels7511]

Love the projects however that background music was hard on the ears. It's a higher pitch and honestly made it a struggle to proceed. Is there a lower tone you could consider? Thanks

[@ComplicatedKnots]

No worries, sorry about that. I try out different music all the time, I think this was my first time using that particular track.
