Wow that was so many plushies! You smashed it in February! You're plushies all turn out so cute. Mine are kinda special most of the time.

You are a rockstar!!! I’m a stay at home mom of 4 kids, I started January 1st making stock for my Etsy, I’ve crocheted 50 different plushies, 6 baby hats, 6 ear wraps, 8 crochet quilts (one is a pixelgraph of BMO, I’m obsessed!) and 3 baby blankets. Still working on making multiples of things for back stock as things sell but I’m pretty proud of what I have accomplished!

Omg!! How are you so underrated?? As someone who loves to make amigurimi, I absolutely love and enjoy every one of your videos! You are one of my favorite TH-camrs. I recently started a crochet business and I am always looking for new business tips and tricks! I love your little whale plushies, personally, I can hardly even notice the flaws in the pink ones and I would definitely sell them as keychain clips!
Btw, your lucky cat plushy is freaking adorable omg! Love your work! 💜

I crocheted 1 part of top and 1 tiny vest for my son’s owl )) you are the ROCK

I loved Mew!

You could always sell the pink whales as B-grades or something

This is amazing, you nailed this ☺☺☺

I would try with a soft brush ( small art brush to paint....or a make up brush) and see if it's working to clean the little whales.
The other option is to gently wash them in the sink by hand, with regular or gentle shampoo then rinse with not too warm water, then put a little bit of hair conditioner., rinse and squeeze them gently, and put them on a plane surface on à towel. Let them dry 3-4 days or until you are sure they are dry.
I did washed amigurumis many time like this.
If you look on TH-cam and type how to wash my amigurumis, I'm pretty sure I already seen some tutorial!
Good luck !🤞
And CONGRATULATIONS on quitting your job and dedicated your time enterely to your shop! I'msure you are gonna have a huge succès!🤩

To prevent the slant in colorwork try crocheting the project in FLO. Also making sure the floats on the back of the project are loose helps too.

I just saw a blog post yesterday cause I saw something on reddit talking about yarn under for color changes and looked it up. Looks like before you finish pulling through the loops of the color you are on before you have to change it, you bring your new color and finish it but using yarn under instead of yarn over.

I look so forward to your videos! ❤congrats on the new job change 😊excited for you

[@82salvarez]

I have the same issue with my color changes. I love that Totoro, he’s adorable!

[@mandiconnell3311]

I love your plushies! I do the same thing with sewing, I have a big mushroom guy like a month ago and I just need to sew on his spots and fit some reason I would rather die haha

[@nancypal]

Do you have compressed air to clean your keyboard and pc with, maybe try that on the little whales

[@mylenerominswan4107]
