I just wish that those creators that publish a pattern book would use a spiral bound format so we don't have to keep breaking the spine just to read a pattern. Please don't come at me, this is just my preference.
@TheOldeCrow Because it's a customization that YOU want. If the publishers spiral bind them, the cost of the book is going to increase anyway. So you have a choice. Either stomp your feet and complain about a book binding not being functional for you while you wait around for publishers to make a more expensive book the way you want it, or head to a Staples where they can customize the book for you for like $5. The choice is yours.
I used to work in a home center store. When trying to decide colors for a blanket I would go to the paint color displays. There are brochures about colors for exterior and interior paint schemes. I just collected them all, then looked at them at home. Helped me a lot with my decisions.
@EliseRoseCrochet they have palettes for all situations. Child's room, beach house, porch options. Especially as I am not too sure of my choices it really helped. Elise I saw that you had a color wheel. Where did you get it?
I make realistic looking amigurumi almost exclusively, and I keep seeing more and more realistic pattern designers. I think you’re absolutely right that it’s going to get bigger!
I really hope mythical creatures do become popular next year! I love making mermaids and satyr dolls and plan on expanding into other mythical creatures. Actually my current project is a centaur since I play one in a current DnD campaign and wanted to make a doll of her. It would be amazing to see new patterns that cover a variety of creatures!
That's a lovely sentiment that I know your party members will love! So far I made my friend's Satyr druid and for Christmas made my party members and the DM griffins since our characters are campers who are part of the griffin cabin but long term goal is to make everyone's character @@jennifernovis916
Hi Elise! I JUST started crocheting and have been watching a lot of your past videos for inspiration and help. I really love your videos and appreciate the tutorials. I have to say that my favorite moments are when Pickle gets up to his hijinks! 🤣Thanks so much for the great videos!
Thanks Elise for the great tips and the heads-up for 2024. The small mini toys are so cute and I can see why they are so popular. There are many mini sized dolls on the market right now. My thirty-three year old daughter collects them. I think this prediction will be right on target.
I've been making amigurumi since before I knew there was a term for it (like...20 years or so), and I'm absolutely one of those gluttons for punishment who would take on a huge project with all black yarn. But...I'm also someone who would find an error in my stitches, shrug my shoulders, and keep crocheting without fixing it (I'm not redoing 100 stitches, lol). 😆 Little tip for those who don't know: use a head lamp when crocheting in dark colors. It makes seeing stitches so much easier!
Elise, what a delightful video! The book by Mama Made Minis is fantastic! Your predictions are fabulous and exciting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for crochet with all of us!!!!
Love your predictions and I feel so on trend. I'm in the process of making a granny stripe throw in shades of blue for my daughters in laws as a Christmas gift. Thanks for a great video, have a great day.
PLEASE start putting out tutorials for realistic crochet amigurumi! I love crochet, but I'm obsessed with the realistic appearance of knit amigurumi. I'm learning to knit, but it would make me SOOO happy to be able to make realistic amigurumi with crochet! You go, girl!! Another fantastic vid as always, thanks for sharing!
I watch you all I can find and want to comment 1st time ,I. Love you said this will be trend this year and wanted to share in 2020 I made a few of these characters.my husband works for this team and asked me to make a “choke doll” for upcoming season I have never made a pattern before (found it hard -fun-challenging) so here it is I am SO proud of these
Mythical creatures are pretty much all I make because I have a building at a Renaissance Festival but I did notice a lot of people asking for woodland animals for Spring 2024
This is great as I’m in process of crocheting my first cocoon cardigan for my daughter and just made a matching wool hat and scarf for my 22 yr old son and he loved it and now wants a sweater.
I HOPE Chenille chunky yarn becomes a big thing. Maybe there will finally be more options for colors and brands in stores. I almost exclusively use chenille chunky yarn for my plushies and finding the right color is such a pain (to the point I've started buying white yarn and dyeing it myself for projects). I know parfait chunky exists but I want to be able to feel the yarn before I buy and they don't sell it in stores :( I don't want to spend all that money plus shipping just to end up hating the yarn!
I just had a thought I wonder if there’s a way to make a realistic eye without it being plastic or glass so it’s safe for all ages. What do you think? I’d appreciate any suggestions you might have.
It's so funny you mention paint companies and color trends, I think the same is true. I happen to love the color blue too. Good thing. Great predictions - will be interesting to see. Can't believe 2024 is so darn close! I did crochet a few things this past year and still have one top on the hook. Hopefully I'll finish it in time for next spring. Crochet has come a long way since I learned eons ago. It's incredibly popular and I think that trend will definitely continue, it's just so much faster than knitting. I knit far more, it's just easier on the old fingers.
Dear Elise, I love your videos! The content is and professional you communicate nicely and to the point. In my opinion you give best information. I have followed you from the begining of your channel and oh boy! Your love for learning and sharing took off from the beginning. Thank you for sharing your like and passion for knowledge, crochet and life. You are one of a kind Elise! 🎉🎉😀❤
Hi Elise! I was surprised that after 8 month I find having bought this 2 brothers book and what a wonderful book this is, the setup, descriptions and beautiful pictures to guide me. Further the granny cardigan, my god, its so easy and nice slouchy garment great for a nice fall evening. Finally your AI statement, its my number one thing that annoys me at this moment. More that at first glance we can't see if it works or not and for beginners this can be a stopper. Thank you again for your great vids!
I love that you mentioned Erinna. I purchased this book last week because of that badger and because my bookstore had a coupon for English books. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Shipping is like three weeks. 😅
@@EliseRoseCrochet Yes, she's great. I got her two previous books and I loved them so much that I didn't think twice before ordering this one! Pretty sure, I will. 🙃
@@EliseRoseCrochet Also, I got Khuc Cay's newest Christmas book with this one. I could only find it in French for now, but it's sooooo adorable. You should check it out when it gets translated. I got to know her patterns when you mentioned her Sweet Crochet Friends-book on your channel which was a great recommendation. 🙃
I love all of your predictions. I wish publishers realized that not everyone is right-handed. I had a 20 min talk with two new left-handed crochet & and knitters on a bus ride to our cars. I shared what tips and tricks I use to make a pattern work. They were passing on pretty patterns because they couldn't get the stitches to look right.
I love the lobster from Pica Pau! He's on my list and I have the yarn for him already. Now if I could stop getting side tracked by cute Christmas patterns! 🦞 🎄
Hi elise I'm getting married on Saturday so my crochet commissions r on temporary hold I'm really exited! We did the rehearsal today! We had to change venue as they mixed with a curry house n misled us, Hope ur doing OK I'm glad I found your channel I've nearly finished the Timburr graphghan n the toy prototype :)
This video is 🔥. So interesting and creative. I didn't know the paint companies did that. Now I'm going to their sites for inspiration!!! I totally agree about that blanket. It is a dream project ..so meditative.
Thank you Elise! This was really interesting! I’m going to order the book: Enchanted Woodland Creatures! I’m new to Amigarumi but not to crochet. I’m 65. Let’s see if this old girl can still learn something new. 😊 Thank you!
I agree about the loveys because I know a lot of little kids in my school see these and LOVE THEM!!! but they can’t make them because of how young they are and it just breaks my heart😣. I try to make as many as possible for these kids, but as soon as I give it to them they go and tell their friends and I had to stop because they were completely breaking my budget. Little kids love loveys and I think it’s going to be a definite trend for 2024.
Oh, C I forgot to mention, I read that email from Cheryl at Crochet 365 Knit Too. Everyone needs to read that email. I am so glad that we have designers like you and Cheryl watching out for the everyday stitchers. Thank you for being a watchman for us.
I love this Elise , the woodland creatures are so cute 😍 I love my book Knotted Loveys , I would have not ever thought to put a knot in my amigurumi . I makes them unique and adorable . Have a great weekend , lots of family time and crochet ❤🤗😊
I think you are right with most of your predictions. I hope so with the larger amigurumi, what I have been doing the last few months and find it easier. I've been seeing sloths everywhere in 2023.
Love this video so much. I was so excited about some of the crochet people you mentioned because I love them so much as well. I absolutely love your channel and creations.
I’m new to crochet, I’ve made two somewhat wonky amigurumis and an ear warmer and cup cozy so far. I hope that you’re right about the lobster trend- I live in Maine and I would love to get good enough to make and sell some lobster amigurumis. 🦞🧶😊
I've noticed some people wearing asymmetrical ponchos or capes and have been considering trying to find a great pattern to make one of those, maybe knit. My fingers work better when I use different muscles and that would be a way for me to switch it up. I wonder what happened to the ponchos I knit in the 60's. I've noticed some cute amigurumi mice on insta lately and wonder if that is a trend that will continue. Fun video to get me thinking about my next project(s).
I love your prediction video. I'm new at crocheting. started learning this past summer when doing radiation treatments. Trying to find a long coat tutorial. Would love to do the Essense street fashion long coat black and white crocheted showing on Pinterest right now. I definitely need a youtube tutorial on anything that's more complicated. Would you know of a crochet creative that would have a video tutorial like that?
I'm working on my first amigurumi. It's Hana the flower fairy from Enchanted Woodland Amigurumi. I'm waiting for the eyes I ordered to arrive. Ran into a few snags but I think I can finish her...we shall see.
Funny that you mentioned the Crotchet Makes For Men book, it's coming in the mail today. I'm planning to branch out to that from amigurumi. One trend I'd like to see is less hate about Woobles, yes, the prices can be spendy, costing what could now get me several projects worth of yarn but they are a good entry point. In early pandemic, I crotched a scarf from TH-cam tutorials and then did nothing with the hobby at all. Woobles kits made it stick and be fun, after a couple, I've made items from other patternmakers. I've had a lot of growth in 3 months from those "overpriced kits". Experienced crotcheters underestimate how much there is to learn and how removing a couple variables can help people stick with it. Thanks so much for your videos.
I agree with you. I learned from Woobles kits and have since branched off into more complex patterns, but I feel like the kits gave me a good foundation. The patterns and videos were easy for me to follow and build my confidence.
You’re right about the black yarn. I did two gorilla face appliqués the size of my hand for two friends and let me say, I regretted agreeing to make it for them. I hope you’re right about the crochet granny stripe. I just started one for a friend.
Hi! I don't really make toys very often, but I love chickens so I had to make a couple! You might want to try to make one, they are so cute! The tutorial is from merrymakes
Dear Elise, Thank you for sharing…I love all that you share with us! I hope 🤞🏼 this years colour is a green teal colour…I just found out “Peach Fuzz” is the Pantone 2024 colour. It is supposed to be Calming and tranquil. Erinna Lee’s books are fabulous! I do hope we get different stitch ‘varieties/styles’ of the granny square, circle, hexagon, heart, etc. I’m probably getting hated right now but I’ve never liked the original granny square stitch style. So I’m all for new styles! I wish someone would create a book full of Eeyore toys, he is one of my favourite. Yes, Sebastian should definitely get more acknowledgment 😂 But I do think maybe dragons 🐉 and fairies 🧚♂️ will be popular this year. End of last year I heard about youtuber Ashley Parker aka “The Loopy Lamb”, talk about her new book ‘Crochet Furry Friends’ - why this stood out to me is that it is all done in faux fur. And oh my they are absolutely gorgeous! (Which also relates to the realistic look of the animal). Thanks Elise. Take care and stay safe and well. God’s blessings to all 🙏🏼💗🧶😻🐶🦋
I'm not even gonna lie, these sound so perfect, because I literally have been planning to make an oversized granny square cardigan and little crochet dolls of my favorite characters. 10/10
Since I started my amigurumi journey 4 years ago, my dream is to work with magical creatures... With your predictions, I think 2024 will be my year! Awesome video as always, Elise! Love you 🥰🥰🥰
THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD VUDEO!!!! Loved it! I have found your channel maybe 4 months ago and im enjoying your videos :) i was just wondering jf i could get the link to that knotted lovelys book? It looks so adorable!
I have been mulling over the idea to try a plushie. Some of them are really beautiful. My girlfriend made a micro crochet puppy and an octopus. She said never again 😂 apparently it was one of the most stressful projects she's ever attempted. She gave them both to me because I adore miniatures and have quite a collection of tiny things but zero interest in trying them. 2.5mm is the absolute smallest hook I will use and that's a rarity.
Hello! I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I don't have much time to help with patterns, but there are some great Facebook groups for crocheters that might be able to assist you! 🦖
I'm so glad you mentioned crocheting with black yarn. I thought it was because my eye sight was getting worse, which it is but I feel a little better now lol I just don't crochet with it at nighttime now.
I love the knotty lovey's. However Im a beginner. Do you recommend starting eith like DK before trying chunky yarn? I know that chunky yarn can be hard for beginners. Thank you 🙏
hihi ! i want to start making amigurumi, and currently need safety eyes, although i dont know which ones to order since i really cant tell depending on like 6mm or 12mm, can you please compare their sizes to everyday items ? thank you so much
I wouldn't be surprised if we also see ami's that resemble the form of the popular squishmallows. Crochet versions would be much cuter in my (probably biased) opinion. 😏 I'm pondering possible unique characters to make myself since my young nieces are so into them.
I’ve been making the (unstuffed) lovie toys with chenille yarn using patterns on Etsy, but I have to say that I just don’t like the knotted feet look. I’m afraid I don’t get it why it’s popular?
I love a good granny stripe!! I’m currently making a granny stripe cardigan for the Christmas season in green, red, and pink and it is so cute. They make such fun, mindless projects. 😊
About AI and Amigurumi, its already a problem. Recently on Reddit, you can see people complaining about etsy stores that uploads AI generated images of amigurumis to sell patterns, and the patterns are not even close to the image, so its being used to scam people around the world. just spreading the news. thanks for the awesome videos you make, it is very inspiring
I just wish that those creators that publish a pattern book would use a spiral bound format so we don't have to keep breaking the spine just to read a pattern. Please don't come at me, this is just my preference.
I think that's a great idea! I'm sure that decision is made by the publisher! 🧶🧶🧶
You can take any book to a place like Staples, and they will slice off the binding and spiral bind it for you.
And why should i.have to pay twice?
I worked at a printing company for years, I’ve cut the spine off and spiral bounds 100’s of books.
@TheOldeCrow Because it's a customization that YOU want. If the publishers spiral bind them, the cost of the book is going to increase anyway. So you have a choice. Either stomp your feet and complain about a book binding not being functional for you while you wait around for publishers to make a more expensive book the way you want it, or head to a Staples where they can customize the book for you for like $5. The choice is yours.
you should make a video revisiting all of your previous years predictions to see how many you've got right!
That's a great idea!!! 🧶❤️☀️
That would be awesome!
I used to work in a home center store. When trying to decide colors for a blanket I would go to the paint color displays. There are brochures about colors for exterior and interior paint schemes. I just collected them all, then looked at them at home. Helped me a lot with my decisions.
That is a really great idea!!! 🧶🎨🖌️
@EliseRoseCrochet they have palettes for all situations. Child's room, beach house, porch options. Especially as I am not too sure of my choices it really helped.
Elise I saw that you had a color wheel. Where did you get it?
Excellent idea!! Love it, I am going to do this.
I make realistic looking amigurumi almost exclusively, and I keep seeing more and more realistic pattern designers. I think you’re absolutely right that it’s going to get bigger!
Yes! They are so amazing and I think it's just going to get bigger! 🧶🧶🧶
I really hope mythical creatures do become popular next year! I love making mermaids and satyr dolls and plan on expanding into other mythical creatures.

So far I made my friend's Satyr druid and for Christmas made my party members and the DM griffins since our characters are campers who are part of the griffin cabin but long term goal is to make everyone's character @@jennifernovis916
Since 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, I agree. I am learning amigurumi, but I also do ceramics, so dragons could be good for both of those!
I have the crochet world creepy creatures and cryptids, it has those
I agree about the granny stripe, Elise. I recently started the Sundance Granny Ripple Stitch blanket by Jessica of Mama In A Stitch. So fun!
Her designs are so gorgeous! 🧶❤️☀️
This was a really fun video! I'd love to see one where you react to your 2023 predictions video, and see what you got wrong or right!
That would be fun!! 🧶🧶🧶
One trend right now is the hexagon cardigan in granny stitch… so easy to make! 😊
Thanks you so much for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
Where can I find this pattern or tutorial?
Hi Elise! I JUST started crocheting and have been watching a lot of your past videos for inspiration and help. I really love your videos and appreciate the tutorials. I have to say that my favorite moments are when Pickle gets up to his hijinks! 🤣Thanks so much for the great videos!
Haha!! He really likes to make his presence known at times!! 🤣
Thanks Elise for the great tips and the heads-up for 2024. The small mini toys are so cute and I can see why they are so popular. There are many mini sized dolls on the market right now. My thirty-three year old daughter collects them. I think this prediction will be right on target.
The miniature dolls are soooo beautiful! 🧶🧶🧶
I've been making amigurumi since before I knew there was a term for it (like...20 years or so), and I'm absolutely one of those gluttons for punishment who would take on a huge project with all black yarn. But...I'm also someone who would find an error in my stitches, shrug my shoulders, and keep crocheting without fixing it (I'm not redoing 100 stitches, lol). 😆
Little tip for those who don't know: use a head lamp when crocheting in dark colors. It makes seeing stitches so much easier!
Great tip! I use a neck light and I can't live without it! 🧶🧶🧶
I also recently got a headlamp and its so amazing.
Elise, what a delightful video! The book by Mama Made Minis is fantastic! Your predictions are fabulous and exciting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for crochet with all of us!!!!
Thanks so much, Michele! 🧶🧶🧶
I loved the woodland fae amigurumi and added it to my Christmas wish list ❤
It's such a gorgeous book of patterns! 🧶❤️☀️
Elise, thank you so much for the heads up about AI crochet pictures! I hadn't known about that, and I appreciate it.
It's going to be more and more of a problem! They are selling AI generated patterns on Etsy as well. We have to educate ourselves about it! 🧶

Thank you so much! I hope you're feeling better now! I will keep my eye out for a pattern like that!! 🧶🧶🧶
I'm working on my first amigurumi. It's Hana the flower fairy from Enchanted Woodland Amigurumi. I'm waiting for the eyes I ordered to arrive. Ran into a few snags but I think I can finish her...we shall see.
That's wonderful!! Such a sweet pattern! 💗
Funny that you mentioned the Crotchet Makes For Men book, it's coming in the mail today. I'm planning to branch out to that from amigurumi. One trend I'd like to see is less hate about Woobles, yes, the prices can be spendy, costing what could now get me several projects worth of yarn but they are a good entry point. In early pandemic, I crotched a scarf from TH-cam tutorials and then did nothing with the hobby at all. Woobles kits made it stick and be fun, after a couple, I've made items from other patternmakers. I've had a lot of growth in 3 months from those "overpriced kits". Experienced crotcheters underestimate how much there is to learn and how removing a couple variables can help people stick with it. Thanks so much for your videos.
Very good point! Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
I agree with you. I learned from Woobles kits and have since branched off into more complex patterns, but I feel like the kits gave me a good foundation. The patterns and videos were easy for me to follow and build my confidence.
You’re right about the black yarn. I did two gorilla face appliqués the size of my hand for two friends and let me say, I regretted agreeing to make it for them.
I hope you’re right about the crochet granny stripe. I just started one for a friend.
I wish I had better eyesight to be able to see dark colored yarns! 👀
Yes, Hooked by Kati does wonderful work...love her patterns!
Love her and her patterns! 🐉
Love the colors of the year❤ blue is so beautiful
It really is!! I love the color Upward! 💙💙💙
Just saw filet crochet cover up at Target
Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
Hi! I don't really make toys very often, but I love chickens so I had to make a couple! You might want to try to make one, they are so cute! The tutorial is from merrymakes
They are so cute!! 🐓
Hello Elise, thank you for sharing. However, what's the brand of the work pants that feels like a yoga pant? Those pants may work for my shape.😊😊😊😊
I'm not sure! ❤️
So glad I watched this. I just started making amigurumi figures and this was so inspirational! I can't wait to start on my next project.
Wonderful! ❤️🐑🧶
my gran was nearly blind and made those large square blankets about 40 years ago ! classic xx
Wow!! 🧶🧶🧶
Dear Elise,
Thank you for sharing…I love all that you share with us!
I hope 🤞🏼 this years colour is a green teal colour…I just found out “Peach Fuzz” is the Pantone 2024 colour. It is supposed to be Calming and tranquil.
Erinna Lee’s books are fabulous!
I do hope we get different stitch ‘varieties/styles’ of the granny square, circle, hexagon, heart, etc. I’m probably getting hated right now but I’ve never liked the original granny square stitch style. So I’m all for new styles!
I wish someone would create a book full of Eeyore toys, he is one of my favourite.
Yes, Sebastian should definitely get more acknowledgment 😂 But I do think maybe dragons 🐉 and fairies 🧚♂️ will be popular this year.
End of last year I heard about youtuber Ashley Parker aka “The Loopy Lamb”, talk about her new book ‘Crochet Furry Friends’ - why this stood out to me is that it is all done in faux fur. And oh my they are absolutely gorgeous! (Which also relates to the realistic look of the animal).
Thanks Elise. Take care and stay safe and well. God’s blessings to all 🙏🏼💗🧶😻🐶🦋
Yes! I have Ashley's book and will be reviewing it soon!! 📚
Aww! That’s excellent I can’t wait to hear what you think of this book 📖 💜🙏🏽
Holding up for sure!
I'm not even gonna lie, these sound so perfect, because I literally have been planning to make an oversized granny square cardigan and little crochet dolls of my favorite characters. 10/10
Oooh! Great projects!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for the predictions. I received my Mamamini book and already made 3 friends. Love it!
Wonderful!
Since I started my amigurumi journey 4 years ago, my dream is to work with magical creatures... With your predictions, I think 2024 will be my year! Awesome video as always, Elise! Love you 🥰🥰🥰
Awesome!!! 🦄🧜♀️🧚🧝🏻♀️
What about crochet jewelry? Do you think is gonna be big in 2024? I was thinking on make some tutorials but I am so afraid to fail...
Don't ever be afraid to fail! You never know, you might be the one who sets the trend!!🧶🧶🧶
Crochet with all black was my first project for amigarumi. It turned out horrible but kinda good. I wish I could share it with you.
Wow!!! My eyes would have fallen out of my head!!! 👏👏👏
THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD VUDEO!!!! Loved it! I have found your channel maybe 4 months ago and im enjoying your videos :) i was just wondering jf i could get the link to that knotted lovelys book? It looks so adorable!
Thank you so much! ❤️ All the links are in the description box!! 🧶🧶🧶
Maravilloso, saludos colega 🎉
I have been mulling over the idea to try a plushie. Some of them are really beautiful. My girlfriend made a micro crochet puppy and an octopus. She said never again 😂 apparently it was one of the most stressful projects she's ever attempted. She gave them both to me because I adore miniatures and have quite a collection of tiny things but zero interest in trying them. 2.5mm is the absolute smallest hook I will use and that's a rarity.
I cannot imagine doing micro amigurumi! They are amazing, but I'm like you, 2.5 mm is about the smallest hook I want to use! 🧶❤️☀️
I have a teeny tiny crochet bear pin made by Tink from many years ago. It is amazing, but not something I could ever do.
Wow!! 😱
Morning Elize, could you please help me with a pattern for a granny square with dinasores in the motive.
Hello! I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I don't have much time to help with patterns, but there are some great Facebook groups for crocheters that might be able to assist you! 🦖
I'm so glad you mentioned crocheting with black yarn. I thought it was because my eye sight was getting worse, which it is but I feel a little better now lol
I just don't crochet with it at nighttime now.
It's soooo hard to work with for me! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for sharing your predictions for 2024. Happy Thanksgiving blessings to you all.
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
I’m making a knotty buddy dino for my nephew for Christmas. I think that style of lovey is going to replace the blanket style.
I think you're right! They are soooo cute!! 🧶❤️☀️
Well done video. Thank you for making and sharing it.
Thank you! 💙
So fun to watch! I hope your predictions come true!
Thank you! ❤️
I love the knotty lovey's. However Im a beginner. Do you recommend starting eith like DK before trying chunky yarn? I know that chunky yarn can be hard for beginners. Thank you 🙏
You're such a talented communicator elise!
Awww! Thank you! 🧶🧶🧶
Thanks for this! I love your channel and all of your content!
Glad you enjoy it! 🧶❤️☀️
Granny square madness. I am in. I want a year of blanket making. Jackets and socks. 😁
Sounds wonderful! 🧶🧶🧶
Oooo I'll check out that book, I hope they deliver to NL 🤞 great predictions Elise, I'm rooting for lobster too 🤣😘
They are such great books! And I would love to see more lobsters! 🦞🦞🦞
I am so excited about this. Love amigurumi. Can't wait to make some.😍🤗
Yay!! 🧶🧶🧶
hihi ! i want to start making amigurumi, and currently need safety eyes, although i dont know which ones to order since i really cant tell depending on like 6mm or 12mm, can you please compare their sizes to everyday items ? thank you so much
If you have a ruler you can measure the sizes! 📏
I always crochet and knit with black. I don't have so much problems with that
You must have amazing eyesight! ❤
@@EliseRoseCrochet no, I have good lights 😂
OMG! THE GRANNY STRIPE BLANKET IS CUTE!!!!!!!!! 😍😻💕
It really is!! 🧶❤️☀️
The coloring book has a lot of pages... and I love it!!!! @@EliseRoseCrochet 😇🥰💖🧵🪡🧶 P.S. I love really crocheting it really gives some me time.
i dont know im just getting in to jumbo blanket hand knitting/crochet and needle felting!
That's great! 🧶🧶🧶
I wouldn't be surprised if we also see ami's that resemble the form of the popular squishmallows. Crochet versions would be much cuter in my (probably biased) opinion. 😏 I'm pondering possible unique characters to make myself since my young nieces are so into them.
Thank you for sharing!! That sounds so cute!! 🧶🧶🧶
I love the little mini dolls! I'm going to try and make those, also the knit realistic animals, they're beautiful!
They are!
I’ve been making the (unstuffed) lovie toys with chenille yarn using patterns on Etsy, but I have to say that I just don’t like the knotted feet look. I’m afraid I don’t get it why it’s popular?
I think a lot of people (including myself) think they are soooo cute! 🧶🧶🧶
I love a good granny stripe!! I’m currently making a granny stripe cardigan for the Christmas season in green, red, and pink and it is so cute. They make such fun, mindless projects. 😊
Oooh! I love that color combination! 💚❤️💓🤍
You should have a look at Megan Lapp, she has two books one all mythical creatures and the other are all Impkins which I think you’d like ❤
Someone else mentioned her books! I will definitely check her out!! ❤️🧶☀️
I hadn't seen the A1 crochet.... Thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
I saw that book with the deer on the cover at Michaels
It's a gorgeous book full of beautiful patterns!! 🧶🧶🧶
About AI and Amigurumi, its already a problem. Recently on Reddit, you can see people complaining about etsy stores that uploads AI generated images of amigurumis to sell patterns, and the patterns are not even close to the image, so its being used to scam people around the world. just spreading the news. thanks for the awesome videos you make, it is very inspiring
Yes! I've been hearing the same things! People need to be careful!! It's really a shame! 🧶🧶🧶
I report them on Etsy every time. Etsy needs to do better than that.
Brilliant !!!! Lets see what comes up 😊
Looks like Pantone will release their color of the year in 12 days! (Today is 11/24). So Dec 6-7 I think
Exciting!! 🧶🧶🧶
Peach Fuzz. Not a fan personally but interested to see the colors that people use with it.
And also the peach is a good compliment to the blues mentioned in this video.
@@carriepinkduck that's how I feel too! It's not my favorite, but it will be interesting to see how it's used! 🍑
I’m so excited for 2024
Crochet pattern get so advanced as time goes on ❤
Yes! They just get better and better! 🧶🧶🧶
I hope you are right about the over sized thing. I am so tired of close fitting, tight clothing 😅
Me too!! 🤣
Great video. I hope all of your predictions come true. Love them all. Thanks for sharing. Hugs my dear friend
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 🧶❤️☀️
So I also study astrology, and I'll tell you you're information is pretty wildly accurate to what I know
That's amazing! ❤
