What It's REALLY Like Being a Crochet YouTuber (One Year in Review)

[@melliebelle6541]

You're among the crochet KZbinrs I watch because it's just honest crochet =) You're not hiding behind anything or giving false expectations, and I appreciate that.

[@Tfwcrochet]

So glad you appreciate my content. I try to be authentic and myself and I’m glad that comes across.

[@dibs2992]

I really appreciate your honesty in this video (and all the others) and idk what some people's problem is, i love your voice. You sound like a real person talking to us verses the fake over hyped voice a lot of KZbinrs use. Much love 🩵 congrats on one year 😊

[@celarts5752]

I absolutely cannot get how people can hate you, you have such a lovely voice and personality and your voice sounds NATURAL rather than being this practiced speech that other content creators have, you feel like such a lovely person and when I watch your vids it feels like I'm just crafting with a best friend! Congrats on one year, hopefully you get to 10k soon, you deserve it and so much more!

[@Tfwcrochet]

You’re so sweet 🥹 I don’t like sounding like I’m reading from a script which is why I don’t really write scripts just notes I can reference. I’m glad that comes across to you! Happy to continue to keep you company as you craft ❤️

[@taylorthurmond9445]

Congrats on one year! I love the channel and I am working on knitting a Moby sweater from PetiteKnit that I started in September of 2023 😂 I’m hoping to finish by the end of January. 🧡

[@KnottyBearCrochet]

Heyyyy thats's meeee!!! Wow what a nice surprise, I was watching along agreeing with everything you were saying and currently feeling the YT grind/low views so this was the perfect pick-me-up!! Congrats on 1 year, I can't wait to see what this year brings for us both!!

[@Tfwcrochet]

You when you saw yourself (in Elphaba’s voice): It’s meeeeeeeeee 🤣🤣🤣

[@hopelisacreations]

Congratulations on your year! You will get negativity but push them aside and think of the positive things that you of done and accomplished. I enjoy your videos and your honesty.

[@MyCrochetBasket]

This is so encouraging! I’m a new channel (about 2 months old now) and it’s been a crazy learning journey so far. I’m glad it gets easier on the technical side. I’ve really enjoyed following you this year. I had no idea that your channel was only a year old. You make it look easy! Thank you for sharing your story ❤

[@Tfwcrochet]

It gets so much easier! I am glad to hear I make it look easy but it definitely hasn’t always been easy. So many technical difficulties and they still happen for sure. Keep going though! You’ve already done the hardest part which is starting :)

[@smoore18]

Congrats on your youtube journey so far and Happy one year! I love watching your videos in the mornings cause you are so nice to have on while crocheting and it's like having a friend while doing so! Also I am currently working on a moon themed spider this afternoon

[@LizNameth]

Latest 30s is young! I went to college at 47. I'm 55 and getting ready to start my own KZbin channel. Thank you for sharing your experience. ❤

[@Tfwcrochet]

I still FEEL young but then I see some of these 20 year olds and I’m like… oh THAT is what young looks like lol

[@mrswendyrob]

Congrats on your first year!! I’m currently making a pair of fingerless gloves for my son. 😊

[@ElainefromPenguinPlaceCrafts]

My channel is coming up on two years... imagine learning the new tech in your 60s! I can relate to so much of what you say! Some people lose their filters when they're making KZbin comments!

[@Tfwcrochet]

Congrats on almost 2 years! Tell me about it. While pulling comments for this video I found a truly unhinged one I had never seen. I had to laugh so I wouldn’t cry. I have never understood commenting mean things.

[@bookwormuk2039]

Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary! Please do ignore any nasty comments - I agree that those people have a problem, not you. Most of us appreciate your work, and look forward to each new video. Keep being yourself.

[@hirundo_rustica]

I am so grateful that your channel exists! ❤ It's my favourite craft-related channel for various reasons: Your editing! I love the little faces and text you put in, it makes me smile and laugh. Your vibe! Your voice is so comforting and you come across as honest and really loving your craft. Your video ideas! Will it Ami is my favourite and I also love the videos where you try out free patterns! You inspire me to get better! I only started to learn crochet a month ago but seeing what you make motivates me to keep learning. May 2025 bring even more success for you and your channel ❤❤

[@Tfwcrochet]

Thank you for such a sweet comment! Really encourages me. I bet you’re going to accomplish a lot of great things in crochet this year!

[@stacytwite3851]

I love your videos! Congratulations on one year! Projects together would be fun! I know you don’t like the crochet mystery series much (which was the first video of yours I watched) but I like the idea of people working together on a similar goal. I’m currently working on a lego pillow for my grandson and hoping he won’t be too critical! It’s probably going under the “never do it again” list! Happy new year and am looking forward to more videos!

[@sarahpeterson2813]

I'm 38 too! ❤ You're fabulous and I love that you're enjoying making videos as another art form. You go, girl! And ... I'm up late at night, putting away Christmas tree ornaments and smiling at all the memories. 😊 Happy New Year's to you!

[@Tfwcrochet]

Awesome! It’s funny because looking at my age demographics I would expect more people our age but it’s actually skewed more young!

[@vickiscales3755]

I think you are a natural actually. I really enjoy your content. I am working on making Snoopy while I am watching your video. Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary! I hope to see you for many more years to come!

[@kathrynshrader3842]

I’m one of those people who is quite picky about voices on podcasts and KZbin videos. And when I first watched your videos, I had a similar thought of, “Oh, I don’t know if this voice is for me” (which says NOTHING about you!). But what does say something about you is that the energy and creativity kept bringing me back and, because of increased familiarity and perhaps shifts in microphone levels, I stopped thinking about your voice at all and was just drawn into the content. I just want to confirm what you already know, that people making those comments are describing their own preferences, but also demonstrating an inability to simply choose other content without making it about someone else. That’s a them problem, but you are great.

[@Tfwcrochet]

Thank you for your perspective! I appreciate the honesty. I don’t care what people’s voices sound like as long as I like their content but I know it is a personal preference thing. Glad you gave me a chance!

[@kathrynshrader3842]

@@TfwcrochetI actually was watching a bunch of videos in a row and realized that it is actually way more about the early mic!

[@LyraStitchery]

Congrats on one year. I am totally planning on starting a craft channel. Sewing, quilting, crochet, and maybe knitting.

[@Tfwcrochet]

Awesome!! I want to learn quilting one day. Definitely on the bucket list. I’m sure your channel will be amazing!

[@HoofnIt03]

🥳🎊🎉🪅 Happy One Year!

[@samleblanc2236]

I love your channel! I find you so relatable! Im also a mom in my mid thirties, and I find you inspiring! I'm starting a quilting business this year and you just gave me the confidence to stop second guessing myself. I love a crochet channel, it's fantastic that you represent the craft so well. Keep going! Can't wait to see what you do next. Happy new year! 🎉

[@Tfwcrochet]

That’s amazing! I wish I could quilt. Maybe one day! I’m sure you’re going to thrive in your new business!

[@lisajones918]

Thank you for your year review. I am market prepping. I went to 7 markets last year and love it. Getting out and talking with people was fun. 2025 I am not sure what will happen, no plans as of yet. I am taking one day at a time.

[@lisapettit7403]

I'm very glad that you decided to start this channel. I like watching because you are so genuine and passionate about crochet. I also like that you are not making the same 5 patterns that all of the other content creators are making. Originality keeps it interesting. As I was watching I was making a googly-eyed monster. I made one for each of my students for Christmas, but 4 students left early for the break so I saved theirs to do later. Well, later has come! We are back to school tomorrow so I need hurry up. Luckily they are quick to make.

[@aprilballard4798]

I have really loved your channel and your Target kit video was what made me find your channel. You have a pretty chill voice, and sometimes I find some of the high-energy crochet KZbinrs to be a bit overwhelming. Keep it up!

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

Congratulations on one year! 🎉 you have done so well 😊 I will be coming up for one year late March and can relate to most of what you said. As an ‘older’ Crocheter my audience is a little different, but like yours, so awesome 🤩 I really enjoy watching your videos, and I too use my iPhone and CapCut. I also love the process of making and editing videos, I never thought I would.. it’s also one of the things that put me off starting. I totally agree that you just have to START ❤ For anyone else reading this comment that is considered starting a channel, there IS and audience for you, you’ve got this 🎉😊 I’ve been working on a square for a CAL I’m participating in ❤

[@Tfwcrochet]

So glad you’re finding joy in making videos as well! It really feels like finding a brand new side of myself I didn’t know existed!

[@jacksyarn]

Congratulations on 1 year!! 🎉 I really enjoy your videos. It was nice to hear that KZbin has given you a boost, I'm starting to do more with channel and it's still a little daunting, so it reassuring to hear it gets easier 😂😊

[@Jessofthecheese]

I really enjoy your videos, thank you for sticking around! I've seen people do community projects where people send in granny squares they've made, and the person makes a blanket or something with them. you could also have people send in scrap yarn and make a plushy or something that represents the community. Or have people make "parts" and you assemble them into some crazy frankengurumi! I'm working on the dragonfly shawl pattern in the Bag O day channel and I'm using Carron Blossom Cakes in the color Blossoms.

[@silkeijntema8798]

Hii I’m pretty new to your content. I really love everything of it! I watch a lot of crochet content, but I go in phases. So I watch one created for a view weeks and then go on. But I have the idea I going to like it for a long time!! I’m from the Netherlands and can’t buy much of the yarn in the states. I really like the honesty about the yarn and projects! I really really love your videos😊❤

[@Tfwcrochet]

I’m so glad you’re sticking around ❤️❤️❤️

[@silkeijntema8798]

@ ❤️❤️❤️

[@shannonh.1861]

Congrats on your 1 year youtube-a-versary :) While I watched your video I was working on finishing the border on a blanket. You are great company while I work!

[@MichelleHartzPhZ]

You're my favorite crochet KZbinr! You feel like a friend that I'm just crocheting along with. So many other crochet KZbinrs give off a superiority vibe, and you're open that people might have other opinions than you and they're still valid. Now when I'm hunting for a new yarn or I see a new kit, I like to check your channel to see if you've reviewed it, because I value your opinion. That doesn't mean I always agree (I like Woobles more than you do, lol), but I can always see your point of view. I've thought about starting a KZbin channel before, but one of the things holding me back is how badly I sometimes take criticism. I also have thin skin, so it's comforting to hear that someone that I look up to (that's you) has problems with that too. If there's any piece of advice I'd give is that there's no such thing as too old to learn something new. I'm a serial hobbyist, I now own two small businesses, and I'm a performer which is almost a business of its own. I'm 43, and I have no plans to slow down. I'm finishing up a small pink kitten for a friend who just found out that she has cancer.

[@Tfwcrochet]

Thank you so much for all your support ❤️ While making this video and pulling comments to show I actually ran across one of the most vile comments I have ever seen. I didn’t see it when it was posted and I’m glad because it may have kept me from continuing. But now I have learned to not take it personally. It is HARD for me but in the end worth it overall. Start that YT channel and I’ll tell the haters off for you 🤣

[@Sang15Mitang]

Congrats on your 1 year! I was really surprised when I realized your channel is so young. I discovered it randomly at work one day when just trying to find something to listen to and it got recommended to me. Your channel is my favorite general crochet channel that I follow :)

[@Tfwcrochet]

So glad you’re here! Thank you for the sweet comment 🥹

[@JoannThomson-s1f]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉 on the anniversary. Your content is awesome, and you were up for the Yarn Award.

[@Tfwcrochet]

Thank you so much!! And what do you mean the Yarn Award?

[@JoannThomson-s1f]

You were up for the Yarnie Awards a couple of months ago.

[@christagregg9363]

🎉 on your 1 year KZbin anniversary! I was actually playing a board game solo while watching. I’ve been overdoing the crocheting recently so I’m needing to give my hands a break.

[@Tfwcrochet]

You sound like my husband. He will sit and play board games himself all the time 😊 I do puzzles so I guess it’s not too different

[@SapphireFairy]

Congrats on your first anniversary! I’m so glad I came across your channel this past year. I love working on my crochet projects while watching your videos. I’ve been thinking about starting a channel myself, so this is definitely helpful!

[@Tfwcrochet]

Glad to keep you company. Start that channel! Let me know if you have any specific questions.

[@maryyumm]

i’m usually a silent observer, rarely - if ever - comment on videos, but i want to congratulate you on the anniversary! i don’t crochet (nor do i live in the us) but i really enjoy your videos. i’d even go as far to say you’re my favourite youtube recommend find this year. i love your attitude, your personality, your honesty, even your ‘vocal fry’ (sometimes people make me wonder lol) i agree with people: you’re a natural. never would’ve guessed your channel is only one year old. you’re amazing. keep up the great work 💗

[@Tfwcrochet]

It’s so good to hear that you like my channel even though you don’t crochet! Thank you for giving me a chance and for sticking around. It means so much ❤️

[@Heatherknitcole]

I just started my crochet/knit KZbin channel late last year! I’m having a lot of fun with it. I hope I can get to where you’re at one day!! Congratulations on 1 year 🎉❤

[@Tfwcrochet]

Keep going! It’s a labor of love but I really think starting is the hardest part.

[@ShannonTalksYarn]

Very relatable video, I loved it! And thanks for the shout out too! I still film on my phone too. I think keeping things simple helps me get more done. Like you said, it’s hard to lean all the video production aspects! But you’re doing amazing 🤩

[@Tfwcrochet]

Thank you Shannon! I really appreciate all the support and advice from you over the last year!

[@justclaycrochet]

Happy 1st Birthday. Here's to many more.

[@ayanadixon4763]

Happy 1 year anniversary! I just started learning to crochet a year ago as well. It was my 2024 New Year resolution. I just discovered your channel 2 or 3 months ago, and you are one of my favorite content creators.

[@Tfwcrochet]

Glad you stuck with your resolution! That’s awesome!

[@laurenhahn]

I’m so glad you kept going! I love watching your content. Thanks so much for your vulnerability and for being honesty about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Hate commenters can eat dirt 😊

[@TheNMDavis]

Congrats on your 1 yr anniversary! You're doing a fine job. I enjoy your videos. I was crocheting a bunny ear while listening to you.

[@jenbrooke403]

Congratulations on one year, Rachel! 🎉 The video that brought me to your channel was the one where a socially anxious girl crochets in public. I related to you so much and think you and your style are absolutely precious. I love hearing about the confidence KZbin has brought you! I’m so proud of you! Thanks for all the great content over the last year! Look forward to what the next year brings. ❤

[@Tfwcrochet]

You’re so sweet. I really appreciate all the support you’ve given me this year. That video was one of the most anxiety producing to film but in the end I was glad I did it! I am going to be making another crochet in public video soon and feel much more confident now!

[@jenbrooke403]

@ Can’t wait to watch! Maybe this one will inspire me to actually go for it myself! 😊💕

[@jenbrooke403]

Actually, I shouldn’t say inspire, the last one did inspire me. Maybe this time I’ll get the guts to do it. Lol

[@readingwritingrebellion]

Congrats on a year on YT! I keep going back and forth on starting a real YT channel because people don't read blogs as much any more and that makes me sad. I haven't updated my blog in so long....However, my biggest constraint right now is time. I am going to university full time to get my MFA in creative writing and a M.ED in secondary education (I already have a BA in English and Religious Studies and a MA in English (literature and folklore)) and currently working full time teaching 10th graders. I have no extra time at the moment. Maybe one day. What I am working on is actually inspired by you. I've been looking at the Caron Halo yarn for a while and couldn't come up with anything to do with it. Then you made your video where you made a hexagon cardigan out of it. That is what I am doing. I picked the color granite frost. My brain was all "It will go with everything". That was all the further I thought. The shade of the greys in it make it look like I am crocheting with dryer lint. No joke. After making a trip to Joann's to pick another color because I couldn't unsee the lint, my best friend encouraged me (if you call saying thing like "you could make lint chic a thing" and debating with me if it would be 'lint chic' or 'lint core' encouragement) to finish the link cardigan. I'm almost done with the first hexagon.

[@Tfwcrochet]

I didn’t really mention it in my video but yes making a channel is a time suck for sure. That’s so funny about the lint chic cardigan 🤣 I bet you will pull it off!

[@rosea9375]

My videos that I post on KZbin SUCK, but I still post them. I need to learn how to edit videos. I just work a full time job and its hard to do it all. I have learned that posting shorts are better for me. Love your videos.

[@Tfwcrochet]

It’s a learning curve for sure but I’m sure they don’t suck! I should have talked about the amount of time it takes to edit because you’re right it is a lot.

[@CrochetByRoseB]

Congratulations on 1 year. My family is trying to get me to start a KZbin channel. I have not decided yet. Currently I am bad about just taking pictures of my finished projects. So I am worried I will forget to record.

[@Tfwcrochet]

It takes a lot of dedication as you don’t have a boss to remind you to do things lol. But once you get used to it you’ll be golden!

[@heatherr9201]

Congrats 🎉

[@HuskyMama1009]

I love that you are "real" and true to yourself -- it's fine to take the best tidbits from others and integrate them into your style, that is part of learning, but you do not take on the persona of others, which is why I subscribed and watch! Plus you are very beautiful and I guessed your age to be 6-7 years younger 😊

[@Tfwcrochet]

You flatter me! The camera definitely doesn’t show my wrinkles as clearly as in person so don’t be shocked if you ever see me lol

[@Wumbo_Wumbreon]

Congrats on the one year! 🎉✨It can be so difficult to defy that anxious part of your brain; you're amazing for sticking through and continuing on! I really love watching your yarn testing videos as I work on my own projects. Looking forward to seeing more in the future 😁 (also man, what's the hate with vocal fry?! You sound great!)

[@Tfwcrochet]

Fighting against anxiety is so hard. I get a little anxious every time a video goes live but it’s getting easier over time. And yeah some people HATE my voice. I’ve always liked it so I’m just like 🤷‍♀️

[@Haekellok]

Dear Rachel, I am in the middle of watching your video, but I have to write my comment now! I love the way you do your videos, you are so natural and honest and I really enjoy that. When you sit on your couch and crochet, I just crochet along and it’s really great. I do have a recurring depression (on meds now and on menopause HRT as well, that really helps!) and know a lot about self consciousness and self confidence. I so glad to hear that it helps you a lot! I am 46 and starting my channel, so you really give me hope that I am not too old for the adventure. I’ll watch the rest and finish the leg of the unicorn dog (I have a video up with my daughter, it’s in German, but you can see the dog in there) Take care and keep it up! Jules xx

[@Tfwcrochet]

Thank you so much for being here. So sorry to hear about your depression. I was diagnosed when I was younger but the older I get the more anxiety takes over. Mental health is hard but I’m glad to hear you’re taking care of yourself ❤️

[@HoofnIt03]

I first clicked on your video because of crochet, your cute smile, and gorgeous eyes! Then I sub'd. I'm old enough to be your Mom so I can say you are cute as a button! And I love your happy voice! Keep up the great work! 😁

[@Tfwcrochet]

Thank you so much. Happy to have you in my community. ❤️

[@LyraStitchery]

I want to say I really enjoy your channel because it is crochet but not about selling crochet. I am doing crochet as a hobby and so the most I would do as far as making money is starting a KZbin channel. There are so many market videos I can watch and I don't want to watch to see how many leggy frogs or whatever ami is popular you can make in hour. So I really appreciate your content and that it isn't all about selling and how much you can sell.

[@Tfwcrochet]

I’m glad you appreciate that. I do have some perspective on selling as I have been doing it for years but starting this channel has truly brought back my love for crocheting just for fun!

[@LyraStitchery]

@Tfwcrochet I get the selling videos but when the channel is only selling videos I realize I am not their audience.

[@binewhite2978]

Well done 🎉 I love your channel ❤

[@binewhite2978]

@ I am just watching your anniversary video & I wanted to say I love everything about your videos. If people don’t like it or your voice they don’t have to watch. I sometimes think there are very bored people out there & they love to do nasty comments. Just be yourself & carry on doing your videos the way you love doing them

[@tkgosselin]

I do have a suggestion for a community project. County run nursing homes have the poorer and sometimes very lonely elderly especially Alzheimers patients. I was thinking granny squares to be made into lap blankets. Fun happy colors and such, or even graphgan squares. I love your voice just how it is, real. Lol! Love the videos.

[@Tfwcrochet]

Love this idea! Especially the part about the bright colors 😊

[@Ocean-Gecko]

I’m not a crocheter at all (knit and spin yarn), but your videos have come up to me a few times and I always enjoy them! I’m also sorry people comment about your voice and other things about are who you are that you can’t really control. That’s just shitty.

[@Tfwcrochet]

That’s interesting to hear! Although I do watch knitting content sometimes myself as a crocheter 😁

[@debbieward-crochet]

Congratulations on your first anniversary! I have recently found your channel and do enjoy watching you. Thank you for sharing! 😊 I wasn’t crocheting, but taking care of my dog’s breakfast! They would not let me watch in peace, and now they are both snoozing 💤

[@SammyCrysD]

Honestly, what I've gotten since finding your videos, trying to make more plushies. Minus making some rabbits, never really into it. Right now I'm making a dinosaur from a pattern I got from a kit. The kit was Hardicrafter, but it didn't come with a crochet hook (interestingly enough 2.5mm was the only size I didn't have). So, I grabbed my own yarn and the appropriate hook for it and started it. Honestly love the color I chose for this than the cotton yarn they have (using a pastel orange baby yarn for this one). Did get the hook (had to go to my local Japanese dollar store to get the size). As for what I'm working on... My custom diamond painting of Vulpix from an image I created.

[@Eight-for-a-Wish]

Happy New Year and congratulations on one year! You are so relatable and so much fun to watch, and I'm grateful for the niche you've found in the crochet KZbin community. I'm getting into Tunisian crochet, so during this video I was practicing some of the basic stitches.

[@salleyheldt2461]

I love ur videos and I love watching crochet videos while I also crochet😂 my fav r the yarn or kit reviews! Ur doing great!

[@Yarningproblem]

Thanks for adding the tools you use . I would like to start my own channel just holding myself back thinking I have nothing more to offer . Going to try though.

[@Tfwcrochet]

I think everyone has their own voice and their own perspective when it comes to making a YT channel. I hope you’ll give it a try!

Congrats on one year ❤

It's amazing and inspiring to see how much you've learned and accomplished in a year! Also, your voice is lovely and real! The project I worked on during this video was winding and sorting my stash so I can breathe again lol. Here's to another great year for you! 🎉

[@Tfwcrochet]

Thank you 🥹

[@StitchesGonnaStitch]

Happy 1 Year!!! I totally get it with the actual critical comments - I seem to only get them when I'm already having a bad day so I have to wait before I can respond reasonably. I notice "lazy vocal fry" more than your natural consistent undertone. If that made any sense. I mean the people who really need to just take a breath and finish what they're saying and then if they feel the need just edit the breath out. I started with a different channel and discovered I was doing this and it's been a process trying to correct it. I am correcting it because I needed to learn to breathe and regroup my thoughts and run on sentences. And I was starting to "feel" the vocal fry and it was bothering my throat so obviously I needed to start working towards speaking more clearly. I just finished filming going through my ridiculous amount of WIPs so I'm not actually crocheting at the moment - just getting my video files in order. I'll work on my Basic V-neck Sweater from Heart Hook Home here in a bit. I can't wait to see where you're channel goes - I love your kit reviews and I even picked up a series of Woobles during Black Friday to give my opinion at some point. That might even be a fun collab but that was a SPEND to get their 3 kit series. The camera I usually use is not bad at all - I think with tax around $700 with a mic and some accessories. But I totally used my phone for my original channel for ages and intentionally bought a better Samsung so I could get by on my phone for a while - I couldn't stomach needing to replace a dying phone AND get a big girl camera at the time. Even now I'm sometimes like eh, my phone is already out I'm just going to film and nobody notices. Capcut on desktop has some amazing voice features and worst case videos under 30 min you can run through Adobe podcast for free and it really improves a lot of phone mic/background sins. Congrats again and thanks so much as you are one of the ones who helped inspire me to switch to having a crochet/knitting channel 😊. It's way more fun than a decluttering and organizing channel lol.

[@Tfwcrochet]

I'm happy you were inspired to start your channel! I like watching organizing videos too though! I don’t know if I’ll ever film myself doing that though because I cleaned this room last week and it took me 5 hours and I was a sweaty mess by the end 🤣

[@StitchesGonnaStitch]

@Tfwcrochet fair. My most popular series was doing five minutes at a time only. It's shocking how much can be done in 5 minutes.

[@sk13507]

OMG... ppl can be so mean! I love your voice.

[@BaileyButton11]

Congratulations on 1 year of KZbin! I cant wait to keep watching you in the future 😊 i always thought you deserved more veiwer and subscriptions and youll definitely get there 😊 im working on a granny square purse i started for myself

[@maryb6872]

Congratulations on your one year anniversary! I'm glad that you decided to continue on youtube despite the occasional nasty comments. I am also very sensitive and would find it difficult to deal with negativity. I enjoy your content and PS...I thought that you were in your mid twenties! While watching I was working on my dirty dishes haha.

[@Tfwcrochet]

You’re too kind! Mid twenties is 15 years ago for me which is when I learned to crochet. Wild.

i have no ideas but would LOVE to do a project with everyone this year! 🖤

[@beverlyparrish4452]

I'm really glad your channel popped up in my feed a couple of months ago. l like every one of your videos I've seen so far. I especially like your "Will it ami?" series and the videos where you try the different kits. I'm currently working on Snoopy from a kit I bought several ago at Barnes and Noble, I think. It's a kit that comes with a book with 12 pattern and materials to make three of the projects in the book. I think it would be cool if you found a similar kit and reviewed it.

[@Tfwcrochet]

So glad you’re enjoying my videos. Those are my favorites to make too. My video tomorrow is me trying out a Stranger things kit so you’re in luck. I haven’t seen the snoopy one but I should look that up.

[@warmandcozycraftcorner]

I really enjoy watching your videos! You are doing a great job…btw I have read the first two crochet mystery books you talked about…they are cheesy but I enjoy the easy read! Happy New Year ❤

[@darktastee]

I like that you show the struggles as well as the successes. Everybody fails and struggles at times and it makes you feel real. As for CAL’s - I’ve been meaning to make a large pillowy plushy for my son. I don’t make amigurumi very often and any pattern suggestions would be awesome!

[@Tfwcrochet]

When you say pillowy do you mean kind of squishmallow shaped?

[@darktastee]

@ he’s not picky about the shape, as long as it’s big and soft. His grandma gave him a big plushy snake for Xmas that he adores.

I only recently started watching/following your channel but i really like your videos ^^ also, for a community project, maybe a granny square community blanket?

[@Do.alittle.crochet]

I really like ur channel and girl ur at almost 8k subs 🎉 keep doing u

[@BarbaraMundy-zr6ez]

Love your channel. And the little rat is adorable

[@pixelapocrypha]

I picked up crochet specifically because I wanted to learn amigurumi, so I've loved watching your videos about it! Two weeks ago I actually completed my first ever ami, a little badger with a tutu and a flower crown. :3 And don't listen to anyone about your voice, they're not worth giving the time of day.

[@Tfwcrochet]

That sounds incredibly adorable!

[@abbyzinger]

Yay I love your videos and I'm so glad you decided to make them! Its wild to me you don't have like 100k+ subscribers, and I think your growth is inevitable. I can't wait to see what comes in the new year, love all the ideas you have for the future!! (During this video I was working on an ear warmer headband because I'm going to NY in February and I live in Los Angeles so I really didn't have any warm weather clothing and I am gonna try to make matching gloves too!)

[@Tfwcrochet]

You are too sweet! I have also been making ear warmers like crazy because it suddenly decided to be winter here!

Hi Rachel. I enjoy watching your reviews . I wanted to let you know the Colorama halo is available on the Mary maxim website on clearance

[@LennyLefebvre-qb6qx]

So glad most of your comments are good. I hear people say that the crochet community is so mean and that is not what I see. I’m starting to think the KZbin crochet community is more positive? I see a little bit more crap on Insta and I’m not on TikTok yet.

[@Tfwcrochet]

I think any group of people has the potential to become toxic. It’s just the nature of people being by people. I haven’t personally had overtly bad experiences but I recognize some might.

[@THATSmE4EVA2u]

I really like your channel because you're just so... normal? You seem like a genuinely nice person whom I would like to hang out with. Your eyes are so friendly. Don't know why people hate on your voice. It's just a normal voice... Mine's definitely worse. When I used to be on teamspeak back in the day people would mistake me for a little boy even though I was an adult woman. My voice has lowered ever since but I still sound like a boy in the beginning of puberty. 🙈 I'm so happy for you that you can love yourself more now than you used to. Maybe you could do a crochet along that's splittet into different parts? I've never done Amigurumi before and maybe I would try. 😅 I'm excited for the upcoming months. I was working on the Solanum Shawl by MorbenDesign. It's my best friend's birthday on February 1st and since we live so far apart that we only see each other once a year, I'm making her this triangle shawl. She's into casual goth style when she's not working and I was looking for hours for the right pattern. And now I just can't stop. 😂 If anyone is reading this far and is actually interested in the yarn I use: It's Sultan Shadow in the Color Purple from Hobbii.

[@Tfwcrochet]

I’ve never been so flattered by being called normal before 🤣

[@THATSmE4EVA2u]

@Tfwcrochet there's nothing wrong with being normal. 😂 Most of us are not as strange as we want (or don't want) to be.

[@JeanelleKammerzell]

Every other video of yours I crochet but today I was cleaning my daughter’s room 😊

That’s a big job. I cleaned both my kids over winter break.

[@reesy6176]

I'm working on my second plushie ever. The first one came out so crooked. And if you know me that wouldn't surprise you. I have 1 eye that looks higher than the other so I literally can't see straight. Until I saw this video I wouldn't have guessed that you have only been doing this a year. I'm sensitive too and what helps me is to try to imagine the person's voice saying what they have typed.

[@Tfwcrochet]

Good luck with your second plushie! I was born with a lazy eye and have had lots of physical therapy to correct it but it does sometimes affect my depth perception so I totally get that.

[@Margot_Lazarus]

I think your voice is fine! Some people are silly. Can I ask where you get your music from? Also, I'm working on a scarf for charity

[@Tfwcrochet]

I just use what’s on the CapCut library! I have been thinking of branching out but haven’t yet.
