You can tell who is a parent when the pillow comes and and the immediate thought is, that’s a Boppy!
I literally just came to the comments to see if anyone else thought this as well! It's a nursing pillow! I think I still have my boppy from 25 years ago lol!
Hahahaha😂 I’m sure that would work too!!
Love the colors you chose
Yes the Valari pillow is so nice! I crochet, game, cross-stitch, and diamond paint while using it and it’s so comfy. Your octopus came out so cute!
OMG! I am new to the crochet world and really have to add plushies to my list! That giant octo is epic! And I am obsessed with manatee's so I will need to do that too. I better live to be 273 years old...I have a lot of stuff on my to-do list! HA HA!
Anchor the Octopus! Love it! I found and bought this pattern AGES ago and I can't believe it has taken this long for the crochet community to take notice.
I have not made the full size Anchor, only the mini size, and it is awesome. Looks so complicated but is totally doable.
Also I'm with you on the Bernat Blanket. I have scads of Parfait Chunky but lately I have been so into BB that it's just sitting around! Agree on 6.5mm for the hook size.
I love your colors - I may have to make my first full-size Anchor in those colors!
I absolutely love this pattern! Also very excited to have a new use for my old nursing pillow 🙃
I clicked on this so FAST! I’ve made 5 of these last week 😅 it’s such a fun pattern!
Hahaha I'm obsessed!! And thank you so much for watching!
After watching this I bought a valari pillow, got it today and let me tell ya...Life changing!! I've been using it while I game and crochet and so far it's taken stress off my shoulders as well as helped keep my elbows more neutral to help with my cubital tunnel! Thanks for the code for the pillow and sharing good tips for staying comfy while crafting!
It looks cool on the couch 👏🏻
I don’t think the tentacle mistake was noticeable, but I can understand it bothering you since you noticed it.
I have this pattern. I haven’t made it yet, but now I can’t wait to.
You’re going to have so much fun, it’s a great one! 😊
SOOOOOOOOO COOL! Love the colors, too! Like you, I’ve been digging blanket yarn lately, too! ☺️🫶🏻🧶💚🤍
Thank you so much!! The blanket yarn is definitely growing on me! (:
So big! I love it so much! Just watched the premier and LOVED IT! 😊
Thank you so much!! 🥹🩷
@@hooksandheelers OMG thank you!
I bought the mini version of this pattern and I can’t wait to make it! I might need to purchase the bigger one too now. Yours turned out beautiful ❤🐙
WHY DID NO ONE GIVE HER APPLAUSE?!
Here u go 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ty🤭🩷🩷
Your Anchor is amazing! I have the pattern, just need to get the right yarn 🥰 Thanks for sharing about thevalari; I placed an order for one because I NEED to take care of my back ❤ I used your code 😉🥰 also your doggies are adorable!
Those are really good colors for him! 😍 He turned out great!!
thank you so much!! ❤ I thought you'd be proud I'm using bernat blanket 😂
@@hooksandheelers I am! 😂 I was cheering you on the whole video! I'm also impressed with how well you handled having to frog and redo all those tentacles. I would have been so mad 😂😂
I made the patchwork moose version of this in blanket yarn and hes pretty close to 4ft tall from tentacle to head. Hes huge! Took me probably 30 hours to make
Im in love with this and the colours you chose! I definitely have to get this pattern! ❤️
It turned out really cute! Blanket yarn kills my hands, so I gravitate towards chenille yarn.
So cute I think you should do more of them and each one a different color like a rainbow 🌈 ❤😊
I was so intimidated to start but now it looks so easy
I just randomly stumbled across this video and I can already tell that I love all your videos :p
I feel you on the bad habit of reading the bare minimum of instructions. I do that all the time.
Most recently, I had to frog half the head of an amigurumi I’m working on three times. It looks so much better now that I’ve read the pattern. 😅
I have had this in my cart since @Staceymakes showed hers. I may need to buy it now
WOW this worked up amazing! Those colors are gorgeous. GG :D
Just wanted to say, I love the cardigan you're wearing at like 5 minutes in.
Thank you so much!! The pattern is the Poppy cardigan from Evelyn and Peter (:
So cute!!!!! Feel u about the tentacles, It will just bug you in the future if you don't fix it. ❤
I did not realize this pattern only needed one skein of the main color. Good to know
It’s actually 2 skeins of the main color, I just forgot to show it in the video!
@@hooksandheelers Thats even better to know. Thanks for telling me 😄
Great video! Now excuse me while I go buy this pattern. It’s so cute and now I need one for my couch!
I want to make one of those!
They’re so fun!! (:
I want to make this so badly!!!!!🎉
You have to, they're so fun!
Great job!
thank you so much! (:
Ahh! I also just made a big octopus! Yours is bigger though
Those are arms. They do not have tenticles. 👍🏻
Awesome ❤❤❤😊
I just bought this pattern!
It’s such a fun one!! 🩷
Did you make the cardigan you’re wearing?? It’s so cute & intricate! 🥰💖🌸
For the life of me, I cannot get my tentacle to work out straight like yours. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! Maybe tension?
You could try going up a hook size. I'm working this pattern too. I started working the chain with an L/8mm hook then switched to a K/10.5 hook. You could always spray/pin block the tentacles over night to see what happens. Its my first time working with Bernat Blanket yarn its tricky. Best of luck, hope this helps.
I love the sweater you are wearing. Do you have a link to the pattern?
So im curious... I bought the pattern and im sure i made the same mistake with the tentacles that you did. All the videos I've watched that have bobble stitches say to pop them out. Am i not supposed to do that? Also on the other side i did put the wrong side out too lol
Super cool how much yarn did you need
Beginner here, so apologies in advance for the silly question, but is there a benefit/difference to using a 6.5mm hook vs. the 7mm hook suggested by the pattern? Or just preference? I purchased the pattern a few days ago and am gathering my supplies and tools and I want to use the size that is best. I have both. Thank you!
Hi everyone,
someone can help me? I bought the pattern and I don’t understand if I buy one of each yarn ( I found the reference) . Are they enough for one octopus? Thank me I’m not english so I hope I don’t misunderstand something.
This is off topic but what mascara do you use?? Your lashes are lovely it makes your eyes pop!
Thank you so much! I use L’Oréal telescopic. They have a few different ones but I just use the original black and I’ve been using it for like ten years now, I’m obsessed with it!
I’m 😞 where is your pattern at the top?
i love it! do you think you’d be making more? even if it was with different yarn?
Thank you! 🩷 I definitely want to make more with chenille yarn! The designer also has a smaller version that I might try!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hola y cuánto se vende uno así?
How many skeins of each color did you use?
One of each
I would not know the difference.
If you can’t wash chenille yarn how are ppl gonna clean their baby stuff made with it like blankets or loveys
That’s a good point! I think people tend to use blanket yarn for those things because it holds up really well in the wash (:
@@hooksandheelers true dang I wish I had thought of that when making stuff cuz i just think about softness. I always wanna use the softest yarn but for washing purposes ig that’s not good to go by.
Great job! Quick question what do you use to design and make your patterns?
Thank you! I design them in canva and work with a tech editor (Sweet Bird Crochet) (:
How many skeins of yarn did you use?
2 of the main color and 1 of the contrasting color! (:
@@hooksandheelers Thank you!! I can’t wait to make this Octopus!
For anyone who has made this pattern, how much sewing is involved?
There isn't much sewing at all! Just the back of the head and the underbelly
Who made this pattern?
Humble Child co on Etsy! Linked in the description (:
It's not that massive. I was expecting it to be as big as you at least. And you're pretty tiny
So what... There is no reason that you would have to frog them or throw then out.
I didn’t throw them out! I reused the yarn to fix it (:
