You should never apologize for this. You’re more endearing than ever in this vid. I’m so very glad you started and have really stuck to it despite the insane amount of extra work. One thing I’m curious about because I don’t think you actually said…what IS your full time job if not crochet instruction and pattern making? Also, much respect to your dear partner who supports your endeavors! He is an unsung hero of this channel I so enjoy.
"Everything is just a series of balls and tubes." That needs to be on a t-shirt! Thanks for all the work you do to make your channel great, it really shows!
I binge watch your videos these days and love all your little whooly creations :) but this answer about being "that type of weirdo" I cannot not subscribe. I like your personality and humor a lot!
You're fun ^_^ I think your origami hobby is a huge factor in your ability to create amigirumi patterns. Plants vs Zombies is a favourite of mine, so if you wanna make that Cattail or Chomper *hint hint*. Avatar The Last Airbender has some great animals in it. Turtle Ducks are cute AF. The blanket you're working on is gorgeous! LOVE the yarn you're using. And yeah, blankets are kind of boring. I've been working on a cabled blanket for nearly a year now. It just doesn't hold my attention, even with the cables.
I've tried to explain the link between origami and crochet to people before, so it's really cool that you get it! The turtleduck is actually a goal of mine, kind of like the owlbear. But I need to psych myself up for mash-up animals first for some reason 😂
I just that I found your channel. Your patterns are so easy to follow. And I love making them for my grandkids. I love to see the way there little faces light up when they get the hand made items. Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary. Keep up the great work and you'll have an avid watcher here.
Ahhh, I want to be like CraftyIntentions too when I grow up!! And also, I want to be like ComplicatedKnots when I grow up, because you've already joined my crochet designer pantheon!! (I'm 28, been crocheting for 5 years, but I haven't designed anything myself, so... I'm crochet teenage I guess? crocheteen? crocheteern? no? ok I'll show myself out now) I love Heidi's designs too, she really is amazing, but I almost drove myself insane making the turtle (44 motifs! 44!), so the technique might not be for me! I also used DK weight instead of thread (which was recommended) so the turtle is huge and very huggable, so... worth it? Please take care of yourself, your schedule sounds so intense! If you need a break, or to take it easy for a few weeks, we understand and will be here when you come back, and cheer you on!
I don't think I've ever been on a pantheon before, so I'm honoured. I made the same mistake with the Happypotamus and he's honestly as big as the rainbow llama!
I'm also a huge fan of David Edding's, and never met anyone else who liked him, started reading his books 📚 when I was 12/13yrs old and I lost myself in them through my teens....( now 50yrs old and every 10yrs go back and re- read them.) Only just found your channel today while scrolling through TH-cam, and your so inspirational and hard working it's great to see. If you ever do get any haters, then delete them and move on as some people are jealous and sad. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
Just want to share this… so the weirdest thing I crocheted but utterly satisfying is the “ hot potato “ that I even made bumps and eyes (not the seeing kind) on… I made it for my grandson so the kids could play hot potato on his birthday and it was such a hit because of obvious reasons that they were tossing a potato that wouldn’t hurt or rot!
Hola soy de Mexico . No solo me enseñas excelentes técnicas de crochet . También estoy aprendiendo y recordando el idioma inglés . Me encanta tu trabajo , te toca traducir🤭. Tu ranita fue un proyecto que reproduje y es todo un éxito . Fue un reto para mí, pero tu forma de enseñasr es lo mejor. Eres muy divertida . ❤ Gracias
¡Me emociona saber que estás tan lejos y que todavía te gustan mis videos! Gracias por mirar, estoy feliz de estar ayudando. (Traté de traducir, ¡espero que sea correcto!)
I started crocheting around Christmas 2020. Although I had been taught the basics of crochet before when I was a bit younger. This was the first time I successfully completed a piece. I was making an Among Us plush for my brother and I wanted to make the fried egg hat for it. So, I decided to crochet the hat. But it had been years since I had tried crochet and I had never been very successful. So, I started looking for a simple pattern to refresh my memory. The first successful plush I ever made was a baby octopus I followed a tutorial by All From Jade and I have happily lived in the Amigurumi rabbit hole ever since. As I am watching this video I am working on a green frog using your dart frog pattern. 😉 I look forward to future projects. 😊
You're so sweet😭 I loved hearing you talk about everything. Thank you so much for creating this channel. Your schedule is so intense. Please take rest when you feel like it.
Thank you for sharing! I’m in the middle of the coping from workplace bully that’s why I started crocheting. I just discovered the fun part of amigurumi and can’t stop to do it now 😄
I’ve been a subscriber for awhile and I haven’t made anything yet. Your Mimic is a fav so I may start there. Your crochet talking is just fine to me, keep it up.
Hello and omg thank you!! I have been hunting the tube to find Aussie content and you are the first! Its so exciting to see someone who goes to Spotlight (Omg those mill end bags!) & Big W for yarn. It makes it easier to source and access for a project. ( overseas product are difficult to find or cost an arm, leg, kidney or firstborn grandchild!). Thank you for your time you put into this channel and I'm currently working on the Platypus (plain version) for a gift. Dont forget to give yourself "you" time too!😆
I have recently found your channel and I love it and have even shared it with my sister. You are amazing 👏 I was so happy to join your patron😊 you are so easy and relatable. Thanks
Thank you so much for all the wonderful tips and just general friendlyness. Funny enough I'm using the same yarn to make a mermaid blanket (with crocodile stitch) right now and I'm the same way. I hate doing blankets because it's the same stitch over and over again and I like more instant gratification projects like hats or amigurumi. But I'm also the same where I need mindless fidget projects.
Wow 😮 that’s a lot of work you do and full time job as well 🤩 thank you ,thank you ,🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼for doing all that work 👍🏼 I love 💖💞all your videos and I have made a few of your patterns so far I haven’t had any problems with any of the patterns 👍🏼 good job 👏🏻 and oh happy 1 year anniversary 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I hope 🤞 you have many more years to come 😊 stay safe and heathy ✌🏼out for now 🙋🏻♀️
Can't wait for that make your own amigurumi pattern video! Especially thinfs like realistic feet, legs and torso. What's the math behind the increases, decreases and their placement. Thanks again for a great video!
I love this video! You remind me of me.... Crochet is so therapeutic for me as well. Amigurumi is also my thing. I have learned a lot from you. By the way.... I call it needle sculpting!
Loooool I really enjoyed your honesty and easygoingness. Thanks a lot for sharing with the world your talent! But also your encouragement to keep on going with everything we do and love, I really appreciated it. I must say I've been learning amigurumi on and off for some time, with some proyects here and there and I've found your tutorials and tips really helpfull, like more helpfull than any other I've seen. Congratulations for such an amazing proyect!! With love and hugs from Mexico, Dana :)
Oh wow. I had no idea you could maintain a channel such as this one AND have a full time job. That is really impressive. I've been whatching your videos for about 2 weeks now and I'm just done with the second animal. So the time you use to design, crochet, film, edit, write the pattern and distribute it, is about the time it takes me to make one amigurumi 😅 But I hope your partner will stay as understanding as he was, when you recorded this video, because I'd love to see more of you ❤ But if you ever feel like taking a break, then take one and just come back, when you're your happy, enthusiastic self again. We can wait, and we'll be here 😉
on the next video can you show your notebook with pattern? or do an example? i want start desing my own amigurumi but i don't know how to write them (i'm pl and i hope i did write nothing wrong ;w;)
My fiance lives in Australia (I live in the US) and his mum is always telling me about spotlight. She's really into crafts like me and wants me to show her craft stores here. I've inspired her to start to crochet again (even though I've only been at it for like 2 months)
I woched this yesterday but am only commenting now because, I'm a criter as well as a verry big fan of yourself! So verry excited about the D&D videos to come! I would love to see your take on the feairy Dragon Even if it was just a sketch! Thank You so much for the time and effort you spend making videos, we appreciate you! Your life advice is spot on for me at the moment.(putting off starting/re-starting so many things) As always I love your chatty videos, and it's really cool to find out we have lot in common, hope you are well meg from Vic
Your schedule is so full! Is there a reason why there has to be a pattern every Thursday? You shouldn't feel obligated to release a literal free pattern every week! It's free! And even just 1 every month or less is plenty considering how many other things you also do! I remember being shocked seeing how much you interacted with viewers, which is amazing! It's rare to see such dedicated creators. If you're feeling burnout it's 100% okay to take a break rather than put your health at risk, again thank you for the amazing content!
I appreciate the kind words. I do genuinely love what I do here, and while I was a bit melodramatic in the video Complicated Knots actually helps me unwind from the stress of my day-job :) I promise to take breaks!
Hello, hope you are having a wonderful day. I was just wondering, what is that ladies channel name who makes crochet animals out of African flower squares?
Oh! A Juliet Mariller fellow fan! Hiiii! *waves* =D Oh! Idea for a DnD creature? A monodrone! They're so cute! ... Not sure if easy to make one though...? Those skinny limbs would probably be a pain. Or you'd have to use wires or something. Anyway, now I got you thinking about it ;P
@@ComplicatedKnots Well, I'd say you're close enough to have an opportunity to meet her. But guess what, I've met her too! And I live in Portugal! lol She came here twice, if I remember correctly. I went both times. We gathered the fans and took the lady for a walk through some pretty places around here. It's was awesome! She is indeed a lovely lady! ^^
@@ComplicatedKnots awesome thanks! Are you going to release a video on how you sew your peices together? You sew it differently to how I was taught and I find the way I learnt a big more tricky…
Ok ok ok... Halloween? Cut-i-fied versions of iconic horror movies? (How cute would Jason's mask be in crochet? Or a Dracula bat? Or have they been done already?)

Loved this Q&A! Very interesting to learn more about you and your process. Thank you for including my questions💚
That fish is amazing!
Thanks! He normally has a curly plastic moustache too!
Tamora Pierce books for the win! My very favorite is Sir Terry Pratchett, but my own novels are probably closest in style to Tammy
Just want to share this… so the weirdest thing I crocheted but utterly satisfying is the “ hot potato “ that I even made bumps and eyes (not the seeing kind) on… I made it for my grandson so the kids could play hot potato on his birthday and it was such a hit because of obvious reasons that they were tossing a potato that wouldn’t hurt or rot!

I think your first new was better. I love how floppy it is. Great job for a first try

I hope I can create half as good amigurumi as any of yours one day!
And thanks for all the advice! 😁👍
You've been here since basically the start, so thank YOU!!! And this video should have come with a warning "follow advice at your own risk" 😂😂
“I’m never going to make something like this fish again”
Me, from the future, staring at Marigold:
😂
Have you tried rainbow loom it’s a great craft
I haven't, but I'll check it out!
I love that goldfish!!!! Did you design it yourself or follow a pattern?
He was completely free hand, I don't think I even sketched him properly.

Can you help me with understanding whether you leave the 'wrong' or 'right' side out?
I was wondering if I join your patreon do I get access to all ur patterns or just the pattern for that month?
Hi! My patrons currently have access to written versions of all my youtube patterns, and I usually add 2 to 4 new ones every month.
@@ComplicatedKnots awesome thanks! Are you going to release a video on how you sew your peices together? You sew it differently to how I was taught and I find the way I learnt a big more tricky…
Ok ok ok... Halloween? Cut-i-fied versions of iconic horror movies? (How cute would Jason's mask be in crochet? Or a Dracula bat? Or have they been done already?)
I've seen jason-cats done, and they are really cute! Dracula bat is a great one!
Idk... Waiting a couple years after pattern sale to do a video sounds fine. Its like paying for getting it right away vs having to wait ages.
For Halloween will you make a skeleton dog
I always thought "bone dog" would be a good partner for "ghost cat". We'll see!
I know this is a late comment. But... I went to opposite of you and made a mini llama no drama. XD
Never too late to talk about tiny llamas. Those chain loops must have been a pain at that size!
@@ComplicatedKnots I'm pretty sure those chain loops are a pain at any size :P
