What to do with all that amigurumi?

[@yarnchickenkim]

I love making amigurumi so much. I think I will end up stocking a toy box of them for grandchildren to play with or take home one by one in the future.

[@uniquelysara]

I donated some of my ami's to a shelter/elderly home around christmas. I think thats going to become one of my yearly ways of "de-stashing". 💗

[@chantaleperron]

Same, I' ve been doing it for the last 6-7 years🥰

[@wolfcara16]

That etsy shop would be also a good spot for those prototypes, duplicates and the ones intended for the market anyway, i think

[@nikibordeaux]

Yes, that's what I thought, too.

[@amara560]

What a gorgeous collection! I'm keeping my fingers crossed you can re-home the excess to people who will truly appreciate it! I'm enjoying this non-crochet content, and admire your perseverance in putting your health first. It's so important.

[@shirleycarter2451]

Try labelling your bags, then you'll know what's in which. Wow you've done so much, and love them all.🎉❤

[@velvety2006]

i make a lot of amigurumi i often make critters for ren fairs to just give away or my friends want them before i can give them away lol, i usually have a charity bag, my mom often finds houses for my bigger pieces and a couple of my mom's friends apparently have a lot of young kids in their circle so I will be giving some of them :3

[@ASquareGranny]

In our house, we are convinced the Furby is capable of independent thoughts, judgments, has a sense of humor, and definitely moves. Just sayin’. Shudder. I loved the “Beach” wreath! Chers! ☺️🫶🏻🧶

[@SkeinSpider]

Yep, definitely agree they're sentient when we're not looking 😂

[@CCgirl2083]

New series, use the repurpose one and see what you can make new out of it. The bags look like market prep.

[@sharonjameson8412]

Love you big fluffy spiders, and it's nice to see the progress you have made. Your Bulby is adorable and the expression, startled and surprise and something else...

[@Merelf]

I have always wondered if its possible to donate amigurumi to kids in the hospital have always wanted to do that

[@RavenXWritingdesk]

The furby put itself in that bag 👀😂

[@SkeinSpider]

It's the only explanation 😂

[@tsunamismommy1]

I just have to say that your hair is so beautiful. I'm so jealous of your curl. Mine is just messy curly.

[@Evie-rp6pe]

I love your videos ❤️ you‘re one of my fav crochet youtubers

[@meiloslyther]

"Somehow...a Furby has ended up in my amigurumi bag?" Furbies are CURSED, I tell you.

[@SkeinSpider]

100% agree! 😂

[@chantaleperron]

You have such a FANTASTIC COLLECTION of amigurumis 🤩🤩🤩🤩 I have to say I would have like that you presented all of them to us, even by groups: ex.: here's the 5 axoloth I made before I got the one I was happy, and those 4 others were duplicates ( for whatever reasons....) . Also , I like to think that after over 13 years of crocheting AND shopping for patterns everywhere ( at the beginning only almost on websites, then all the others places: youtube, etsy, ravelry, ribblr, Instagram, pinterest and Google and also Deviart), I like to think I can tell between a " failed" patterns, a good and an excellent!😉😄 So, apart from YOU, I don't think Nobody could tell that for 99% of yours patterns which one is a " prototype " or not!!!! Come on, even yours first try are looking so cool, you could easy sell them ( or do whatever you want!!) You the only person that know you missed a stitch, or intented to do something else....so, imagine for " non crocheters"!!!!🤩 Finally, if I may suggest, that you sell patterns and / or amigurumis on others platforms then Etsy, it would help some people to buy yours products. Personnaly, for years I was able to buy on Etsy, and one day, not anymore. Afters searching EVERYWHERE for months, and even talking on the phone with them, there is still a problem that nobody seems to be able to fix, and some people told the same to me. So Ribblr, is actually one of the easiest place to sell or by Crochet items ... please continue your excellent channel, you are an Awesome model for those who are starting one ❤❤❤❤

[@felinetherapy4782]

The little ones crammed into a circle would make a wonderful wreath.

[@amberellis4447]

I think the tote bag is my favourite too! (as well as her name)

[@Sharkeyscrochetcarnival]

omg the first blubasaur is so cute and angy

[@kaytiej8311]

Infestation! Ha! They're like wire coathangers that multiply in the dark.😊

[@danielecampbell7850]

I started to make my first amigurumi, and honestly, I just don't think it is for me. Having said that, your market stuff is so very cute. If your sisters don't start up the markets you can always sell them on your same store that you sell the patterns on. I, for one, would buy them premade.

[@SkeinSpider]

I think we're lucky when it comes to crochet that even if you don't enjoy one specific niche, there's so many others out there to try.

[@danielecampbell7850]

@@SkeinSpider, yep. I do tiny things, like Barbie or smaller doll clothes. I am still interested in trying some amigurumi patterns with my cotton thread, and see how they work up.

[@Kalikinsribbit]

Jinx is adorable! :D tiny bulbasaur is also adorable- I wouldn't be able to cut him up! I think its a toss up between the tote bag she made and the beach circle :D

[@ali_b_lush2]

That's a great angry Bulbasaur! You should definitely keep it. 💚

[@cicis.cozy.corner]

I like your background!! ❤

[@angelwhispers2060]

Especially the little ones from the challenges would be a great thing to put on your Etsy shop if you don't intend on keeping them. Because you could literally just put them in a small bubble mailer and send them pretty much anywhere if the person is willing to pay the shipping it's not going to be a lot cuz they're not very heavy or very big. And that would be a great way for fans in other countries outside of Australia to be able to have a little something that you actually made not just your patterns. And a lot of smaller things that would fit in a standard bubble mailer could also have this same solution and you just mark them up a little bit because it's a way of funding the channel without it being patreon and the person gets a little object in exchange which is more appealing to some brains. ;)

[@user-yc4fz7vv6u]

The Red Cross shop at my local hospital has lots of hand knitting/crochet for sale, made by members of the community and the nursing staff. the amigurumi is especially popular, as people buy them as comforts for patients. I was hospitalised for four months and many of us had special mascots. Maybe you could send some of your donations that way? Supporting multiple causes, the Red Cross, patients *and* visitors who want to bring something but they don't know what.

[@blackcat9703]

The surprise furby 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jackie1983may]

Your huge spider is cute and creepy at the same time !😂 Hey Emma great tote bag , stay crafty ! 😊💛

[@dragonskull4102]

omg the chonky cows!!!!!

[@helenm1085]

Is it possible to take parts off the critters in the "repurpose" pile and make a frankencritter? If you don't love it, you can frog and unstuff it at the end anyway!

[@helenm1085]

Also you should chuck a label or a piece of explanatory paper on those bags!

[@kookiemonstarreturns]

I think your Bulbasaur is very cute 🥹

[@Teerae11]

What is your favorite ami yarn to work with ?? Since you had a variety with all those , and where do you buy it from ??

[@vivianbrand4845]

I need the pattern of the koi!! I just try to sell my works if i dont want them on my shelf anymore. But honestly, i dont do that often because i am lazy 😂

[@SkeinSpider]

The koi pattern is up on my channel if you'd like to check it out.

[@TildaHolzberg]

You could donate some to police. Here the police give toys to children in distress to calm them down. I don't know if they do that in Australia.

[@cherachapin3826]

My kids take most of my amigurumi. They play really hard too, so they have to be strong to stand up to all that love 😂 But there are patterns I have made for charity. Mostly humanoid dolls. There is a domestic abuse organization that always asks for dolls of various skin tones. I love making these dolls! But I also like making very simple designs that are just bright colors for babies, and then I had 7 babies that used those 😂 I still need to make a fidget ball. Haven't tried that yet and I keep say I'm going to. I made fidget cubes, and I fmdonated those to the childrens hospital near me. Its the only "fabric toys" they accept. I have a lot of animal and bug amigurumis that I store in totes that I plan to take back to Algeria with me and give away to "the cousins". My kids have never met their cousins, but all together my motherin law has 45 grandchildren. So, lots of cousins to give gifts to when we finally go to see them. Other than the ones I saved up for the cousins, everything gets donated or used, now that I think about it. I should probably put some aside for state fairs or something. But as much as I would like to take part, I also hate to be judged 😅 Wait...do we need to crochet a Furby??? Oh yes.... I think we do 😈

[@winterprism9227]

You might also consider donating some pieces to a local animal rescue/shelter.

[@thayana_2296]

is there a pattern for the tea-dinos? 😭 there are so freaking cute

[@SkeinSpider]

Yeah, they're here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5WypIKQhKl6mac Just a warning, this is an oldie though 😂

The furby was seeking to destroy your stuff and the power ranger was protecting it all defending against the furby

Headcanon accepted 😂

[@cranberry420]

I love amigurumi, but I absolutely hate doing it, as I hate "common stitches" such as sc, hdc, slst, and dc. I love love love doing lace, but you can't make amigurui with lace, it's too holey

[@cc_brii]

Ahh first!! Btw pleaseee due a tut on the mushroom in the back

[@rachelyoung3553]

The Furby wants you to think it doesn’t work. We all know how it got in the bag. 🫣
