I crochet for my anxiety too. I have only been crocheting for a few months, but I have learned that I don't really like amigurumi and kinda suck at the decorative sewing for eyes etc. Reading, processing, watching and then writing the pattern down in a way that makes the most sense for me helps that. I never put time or quality pressure on myself, and double check with pictures/video when needed (including to make sure I'm doing a particular stitch correctly). That often helps me with patterns. E.g. the virus shawl pattern looked SO intimidating, but now I can make it without referring to the pattern after I've done the first few rows. Mostly because the counting is not too bad, it's a nice repetitive pattern with regular changes so you can't just accidentally add and drop stitches as easily as you could on straight rows.
I literally could not make anything without a pattern, but I bet I could if I could learn. But you did very good for a pattern beginner! You will learn, and I love your crochet videos!
I saw a post on reddit I think where someone washed a granny square blanket, all the ones she started with a magic circle came loose in the middle. The ones she started with four chain stitches slip stitched together did not come lose, now I always just chain four 😂
Ahh!!! I LOVE that they give all 12 patterns. I am a lover of patterns 😂🤣. The only things I do without patterns are blanket and scarves. I prefer to knit those items though. Other than that I love patterns
I’m watching this while my cat Waylon is sleeping on my legs. He is a proper little snuggle bug, which considering he is named after Waylon Jennings is really funny. Here in Scotland I can’t get the advent calendar but I’ll definitely have a look at the patterns, I really want that candy cane.
I was just watching The Sorry Girls and I had an idea for you! Temperature blanket but pot holders! One pot holder per month. Or granny squares but I don't think 12 squares is enough do be usable
I think the advent calendar is nice! I found your channel like yesterday and im rly enjoying ur vids! Idk abt everyone else, but GIRL UR HAIR IS SO PRETTY!? Also ur kitty is sooooooooo adorable❤❤❤
My exact question was why would you want someone else to make your decorations if you had this kit? Bonkers. I love how you went from a nervous wreck to having a blast, it was wonderful to see your confidence grow. Also your cat, awww, she is so smart, ours never do anything they are told. Lol.
I find it so bizarre that they give you premade crocheted ornaments in a crochet advent calendar. I started my comment here halfway through but was all 'OKAY GOOD SHE ALSO THINKS IT'S WEIRD' when I got to the end, hahah. Also I call it the Magic Ring, actually, not magic loop or the magic circle. I often see it shorthanded as 'MR' in patterns so I think that's a common phrase for it.
When I started using patterns I did a very tedious process of putting a stitch marker on every stitch that was like an increase or decrease for that row if that makes sense I also color coded the stitch markers so I knew what to do at that stitch
Do you know the video you made about how to crochet two years ago I was wondering if you could make a video about all of the different types of crocheting like all the different double stitches or etc.
I was wondering the same thing why are there premade ornaments? Then I thought maybe it’s aimed towards beginners or just simply those short on time. Or it’s just a little surprise to have some already done. Tilly is adorable❤ my cat Binx does the same thing he loves laying on my arm or anywhere on top of me. He’s such a snuggle bug
When you crochet amigurumi you need to use a hook that is at least two time smaller then the hook the yarn calls got. You want tight stitches as you figured out to keep the stuffing from showing. You did really well. I was not impressed with this advent calender. The Google's calender was a much better ca II ender. I know it is way move expensive. I didn't like the traded on the bell either.
What’s the google advent calendar!? Yeah I’m glad I sized down hooks by the end it really helped! Yeah I like these free patterns but don’t think the calendar is worth buying

I started crocheting about 6 months ago and I love watching your videos while I do it ❤

Happy holidays, Holly! I use the term magic ring.

I love that the patterns are free so you can just do the advent calendar without buying anything (if you want) 😂 great way to use scrap yarn!
@HollyAuna oh, yes! I absolutely love that too 😍🥰. And they cute patterns too

I bet they meant woobles!
I wish it was all kits and no pre-made. For me, the whole point would be to have kits to crochet.
Agreed!!!
Totally with you…I make a LOT of plushies…I’m not a fan of faces on inanimate objects. I only like them in animals/dolls. 🤷🏼♀️🧡
Like sometimes, I love it??? I like the snowflake I thought was adorable with a face but so much of the time I’m like no this is not the vibe for me 😂
كل سنه وانتي طيبه عيد سعيد
Lol, this kit is selling for $6 on walmarts website. I orderes one for the fun of it
Wow after holiday sale!
Under 1 hour gang

Yaaaaas
How are you doing coaster cozmo robot 😂😂😂
Go Tilly!
shes the real star!
It’s a great gift, but I wouldn’t buy one for myself.
I feel this!!
I also don’t use patterns, they’re just so hard to follow?!!!
Right they’re so difficult I keep hoping they’ll get easier!
AHHHH! I FORGOT THE LIVE AGAIN! NOOOOO 😭😭
We’ll see you next week!
