Elise! Your daughter is a beautiful bride! Such a beautiful wedding! I love all the different flowers and colors she chose. You are a super hero for finishing those adorable dolls while tackling all the wedding stuff! She will treasure those forever 💖
I agree with adding the veil, but I wouldn't change the bride's hair at all. It's absolutely beautiful. I'm sure your daughter and son-in-law will cherish the set for years to come. Congratulations!👰🏼♀️🤵🏼♂️
Congratulations on gaining a ‘new’ son, and thank you for sharing the wedding photos! Everyone looked amazing, and your daughter was radiant! The dolls are adorable! Now that the wedding is over, you can relax and take your time to get them just the way you want. Enjoy your weekend!
First, congrats to everyone !It was so fun to see and hear a bit about the wedding. And the process for the dolls....oh how easy it is as a designer to set big expectations for ourselves in tiny time frames. 😂 You did it though and they turned out beautifully. ❤
Congratulations to the beautiful couple and to you for getting the dolls done. The dolls are adorable and will no doubt be treasured by your daughter and son - in- law. Looks like it was a beautiful wedding day. Hope you had fun too!
Catching up on your videos since I just found your channel a couple of days ago! Congrats on the wedding! I’m not sure if anyone mentioned this in the previous comments but…. If you put your project containing mohair in a freezer bag and then pop it into the freezer for at least 15 mins it frogs so much easier! It helps the fibers from sticking to each other 😊
hey elise! happy to hear you talk about yarns like this, a lot of yarn is imported from turkey in my country so i've used yarnart a lot for amigurumi and even clothes! it's nice to see channels talking about non american yarns as they're not available here at all 😊
Thank you for sharing not only your thoughts on these yarns, but also your stressful journey to complete the adorable little toys. You deserve a big trophy 😁
2:50 I think it’s really sweet you did that for them. Obvi crochet is important to you and obvi your kids are but I’m sure your daughter knows all the time and love that goes into these things and so I can only imagine the feeling she had when you gave these to them.
Congratulations! Your daughter is a beautiful bride! Thanks for sharing pictures of the wedding. It looks fabulous. Happy times for your family. These little amigurumis are so cute.
Congratulations to your daughter and new son! The bride and groom ami are a lovely way to memorialize their union. They turned out gorgeous, by the way. About hook sizes, Tulip makes a 2.20 mm hook that is perfect for this yarn.
"Thank you for this " in the workshop" video!" "The video had everything perfect in it with great variety!" "We love your intricate tech styles that allows you to make anything you are inspired to create in a snap!" "The married couple dolls are one of a kind designing which is so joyful for the summer, knowing that you made these darlings based upon your daughter's marriage!!" "Much gratitude for featuring your beautiful happy family occasion!" "Very best wishes to you all from Anne Fox, USA!"
I so sympathize with your panic on your daughter’s wedding day. I had a similar day when my daughter was married. In spite of a few little bumps, it was a wonderful, magical day.
Your dolls are so cute and I know every time your daughter and son in law will have great memories of these in the future. You are an amazing Mom. God Bless
Congratulations to your daughter and son in law. The bride and groom amigurumi are ADORABLE! Thanks for your thoughts on this yarn. It's a universal fact that when we have great aspirations for a yarny project with a short time frame we will inevitably run out of time.
Thank you for the wonderful videos! Your daughter's wedding was beautiful! A trick I found with mohair to make it easier to frog an object is to freeze it. I think the doll bride's hair is beautiful and I don't think you should change it. The photo of the couple and dolls is a priceless memory!
I’ve used YarnArt Jeans in a couple of projects. I liked it. I have a lot of Scheepjes Catona yarn that I like too. But YarnArt works well and as you mentioned, it does not split. I love the bride and groom dolls. BTW your daughter is beautiful. All the best to her and her new husband.
Wow, how sweet on the bridge and groom dolls. Love them. What a beautiful bride she was and a beautiful lady she is, like you. Gorgeous dress, I agree. Great video, review and all. Love it. love,hugs,prayers.
Such a thoughtful idea for your daughter and her intended for a wedding decoration and keepsake! Those dolls are just precious!! They will no doubt appear at each happy anniversary celebration for years to come. 💞
Your daughter looked beautiful, and you looked pretty cute yourself. I can't wait to get the bride pattern. I am going to make it for my great-niece for Christmas. Thanks for the review of the yarn.
Congratulations to your daughter! You all looked beautiful, and the venue seemed to be very lovely. And the bride and groom turned out to look adorable! Thanks for this video!
Awesome. Thanks for reviewing this yarn, and specifically for amigurumi. It's been in several amigurumi patterns I've done in the last year. Never tried it, though. Congratulations to your daughter, husband, and your whole family!
Thank you for this review! I get what you mean about color choices! I usually do my amigurumi in #3 crochet thread, Aunt Lydia’s is my favorite. But they only have about 16 colors in #3 (many more in #10!), and a lot of time, certain colors just aren’t available. I’ve looked at other manufacturers, but they just don’t have the same feel. They are way more expensive, or they twist too much, or something else.
Congratulations to your daughter and new son in law❤. Your daughter looked so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Your bride & groom amigurumi dolls are so stinking cute. Elise, you looked so beautiful. Your talent goes beyond words. ❤gayle
🎉 Loved hearing and seeing all the fun images of your beautiful daughters wedding. Ya'll looked so beautiful! The dolls turned out superb! Chef's kiss to you my dear! Love you & all your videos!!!❤❤❤
Both of your daughters looked beautiful, but the one getting married just glowed! Your bride and groom doll are so adorable and looked so much like them. What a wonderful heirloom gift y9u made. The first yarn I ever bought was the yarn arts jeans but I still have not used lol. But I love the rich colors of it. Looking forward to buying your pattern of the bride and groom, I think I now own all of your patterns include the one in the book fairytale.
I’ve been using Yarnard Jeans 95% of the time for my Amigurumis for years and love it. It takes long hours to make a doll or an animal character, but they always look good. The ideal hook size is 3 for me, my stitches have a good tension, so this is the best hook/tension combo for me.
Hi Elise Thank you for sharing these wedding photos with us…the bride and groom looked absolutely gorgeous and so did the rest of the party! Your family has grown by one now 👰🏼🤵🏻May the happy couple have a wonderful and blessed life together. I love that you continued to crochet right up to the ceremony…those dolls looked so cute and I agree the bride and groom will definitely treasure them. I love hearing about new yarn to try, but as it’s not available in my local shops it will have to wait until I’ve used up all my yarn stash before I buy more yarn 🧶 I can’t wait for your patterns to come out, you can just breathe now and relax. Take care and stay safe and well. God bless you all 🙏🏼💗🧶😻
Elise, congratulations to the happy couple!! Your daughter's dress was absolutely beautiful!! She was a beautiful bride. I also love all the gorgeous flowers...very beautiful. The dolls came out sooo adorable...I love, love, love them!! What a special gift❤ I'm glad you got to finish them on time🤗😍
Congrats on the wedding!!! Those pictures/video you shared are amazing. That venue looks incredible. I hope everyone had a wonderful time. I love that you talk about the softness of the yarn. That's a HUGE factor for me since I make so many dolls. If I don't like working with it because it's scratchy or otherwise uncomfortable, I can't expect someone else to want to buy a doll made from it, you know?
Congratulations, you made it through your first wedding of one of your children ❤ . It’s a very sweet and crazy time! I very much admire the wonderful gift you created for them . I think I’ll try that yarn arts yarn , when I’m able to use my thumb. (Take some time to relax now ☺️🌹)
Thank you so much, Karen! I had no idea how much work it would be, but I also didn't realize how wonderful it would be as well! I have felt so tired since we came home!!! 💍🤵🏻♂️👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
YAIY for getting your dolls done JUST on time!!! Hope the wedding was as fun & wonderful as it looked, for you, your daughter, & for your son-in-law!!! Also I'm no stranger to the "why isn't this yarn working" stress, frustration & downright rage!!!
I messaged you about this yarn a few weeks ago. Well I ordered some and it is my favorite. I have never been really good with heavier yarns. I have always worked with crochet thread or even sewing thread and made doilies, table clothes etc. But I fell in love with Amigurumi and this is perfect yarn. My only con is I can’t make the really big critters with it and sometimes people think if it is small you didn’t work very hard on it. Oh well there loss 😀. Thank you for telling us about this yarn. Love your program.
Thank you. I wondered how this yarn would work. I have problems with cotton yarn as well, oh to be non arthritic again , lol. I just live your amigurumi creations. I can spot your work without fail. Your bride and groom are darling . You did a fantastic job basing them on your beautiful daughter and handsome son-in-ilaw. I related so much to your down to the wire panic work on your dolls. I too have thought up grand ideas that I wanted to be perfect causing me to still be working on them right up to crunch time. Oh, the things we put ourselves through in the search for perfection. Truth be told, in my case, perfect rarely is achieved in anything I do. I've learned to cut myself some slack.....okay, that's a work in progress as well. You are so talented and creative. Keep up the great work. A talent by any other name is still amazing.
You are extremely talented, and the bride and groom dolls are so beautiful. Very well done 😃! And congrats to your family. Your daughter was a beautiful bride ☺️!
I have been really curious about this yarn. I am so glad you did a review. I think I will try it on the ami I plan to make my sister. And congrats to everyone!
Oh my goodness it sounds so stressful having it down to the wire like that! So glad you got it done in time for them to take pictures with them on the wedding day (even if the veil wasn’t done!). ❤
Hello Elise , what fun to see and hear about the wedding . Your daughter looked gorgeous , the both did . What a beautiful family . The little bride and groom are so cute , you did a great job . I have never used yarnart yarn , they have beautiful colors I must say . ❤
Wow, dolls look so beautiful and the idea itself is great! Yarnart Jeans is one of the most popular yarns for amigurumi in Eastern Europe and it is also one of the cheapest and the most common in its segment (approx. 1.5$ for a ball). I usually use 2.25 hook for it and it's a great yarn to try a new pattern - it has lots of colours and is easier that 100% cotton due to a little stretch it has.
Thank you for the great review!! Love the wedding photos. The doll’s hair is dreamy and adorable. Hope you make fairy looking dolls. It sounded interesting as you described it. So much thinking goes into amigurumi as you have explained. Lots of trial and error to get to “perfection”. Your work is magnificent.
@@EliseRoseCrochet you’re welcome. I am trying out cotton sprout for dish cloths. So far so good. Using the suggested 5mm on label. I like the yarn and will have to try when I get into amigurumi....want to try your free patterns before I indulge in buying something.
Beautiful family, thank you for sharing your family's special day. Can't wait for pattern to come out for the dolls. Keep up the wonderful work. Hope your husband made it through the big day too. Six of our children have married and we loved the weddings but exhausting 😅🤗
Thank you so much!! My husband and I worked our tails off!!! 😅 And I told our other daughter that she needs to give her dad and I time before we have another wedding!! 💍👰🏼♀️💒🤵🏻♂️❤️🧶
Have you ever tried stylecraft special double knit yarn? I absolutely LOVE it for amigurumi. It's a DK wt yarn. I get it from wool warehouse. Currently it's only £2.14 which even with the conversion to USD and shipping costs, it's still great. 100% acrylic, 100g... and soft but still great for amigurumi projects.
So glad you also like this yarn as it's my fave for small amigurumi & I found it very early on in my crochet journey. I'm glad you did a video about it! Saw u bought some & was wondering how you liked it. That's a GREAT price for it too. I bought mine from Etsy & it was $125 for 33 skeins. I also love the variety of colors. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Ah, the dolls are great❤ Immediately made me think of a previous video of yours (where you talk about gauge ), as I was mentally remaking the dress in Drops Muskat as it's a mercerised cotton & would be shiny. I'd make it more "tubey" & add an over layer of tuille. The hair is fab ❤❤❤ It's my 40 th wedding anniversary this October, so I might make these to celebrate 😂 Great review of the yarn which I have on my list to use. It seems very popular in Europe.
Hi Elise, what an interesting video today. Loved seeing the pics from the wedding! Your daughter was so beautiful. You two look so much alike. That was so interesting about the crochet cotton and how it can hurt your hands. I have had the same problem and thought it must just be me. I few years ago when I was crocheting baby toys for my grand niece, (She loved tropical fish, so I made several brightly colored fish and an octopus) They were just the right size to be thrown into the baby bag and could be thrown in the washer) I fell in love with some beautiful cotton worsted wt. I bought almost every color they had. But when I went to crochet with it I had a hard time enjoying the feel and pull of the yarn. I still have loads of it and am determined to use it in some new amigurumi projects, but I have been avoiding it. Hope you have a wonderful day ahead!
What a great idea! Will you be releasing the patterns after the tweaks? Those are adorable! The hair on the bride!! Lovely wedding photos. Thanks for sharing!
For amigurumi I love to use yarn art jeans, I usually use 2,5mm crochet hook. At Slovakia we have this yarn almost in every yarn shop, or online shops. It is very popular among the Slovakian crocheters. 🧶❤ I love to watch your videos when I crochet 😊
Hi, I didn't even know your page existed! Nice to meet you and I enjoyed this video very much! Beautiful family! I started amigurumi in the past and was not successful, maybe I'll try again thanks!
I use a thicker version of that yarn, Jeans/Gina Plus (Yarnart) to make amigurumi dolls using Carla Mitrani's (AmourFou's) patterns. I use a 5mm hook to get nice dolls that are bigger than what you get with the recommended hook size and yarn (too tiny for me). I'm very happy with the yarn, especially when it comes to the range of colours - great skin tones like you said and nice stitch deffinition.
Hello, Elise! I have always relied on information about recommended hook size, and here it was really disappointing. On the label it says 3-3.5 mm but it was waaaay too big and the one that fitted perfectly for me was 2.5 mm. Thanks for your review!
Elise, your whole family is simply beautiful! I’m also giggling and wondering about their reactions as you sat there the day of the wedding not allowing any one to speak to you, crocheting away. 😂 And thank you for covering this yarn, especially highlighting the skintones. I know I had asked your advice on those because I’ve been stalling out on making my RBG ami because the Skein tones yarn (which may be too thick for the Crochet Iconic Women patterns anyhow. I think the book used the Yarnart Jeans?) had been on clearance and I never could find ivory and the next shade up was ridiculously pink leaning. I’ve never made any sort of crochet doll style pattern but I think they’re so beautiful and have a friend who makes absolutely incredible dolls. Funny enough I actually picked up some tulle for super cheap at Joann’s with their extra 75% off remnants. I’ve also got lace and chiffon (though those I was thinking I’d use just for decor- though I admit I’m a lifelong Stevie Nicks fan and think designing a Stevie Nicks ami would be amazing complete with a little Gold Dust Woman shawl 😂). Anyway, I was thinking maybe I’d make a ballerina because I used to be a very serious dancer until I developed health issues and the tulle would make a cute tutu. But maybe I’ll have to try your bride pattern when you release it! Congrats again to your daughter and her new husband! And to you- though good luck getting used to the fact that one of your babies now has a husband of her own! ❤
I use mainly this one yarn and i like to use 2,5 mm hook. "Yarnart jeans" is a tiny bit thicker than Gazzal baby cotton, DMC happy cotton, Rainbow Hobbii, Yarnart Begonia (100% cotton). I have Begonia just one color and it is little bit slippery and have little sheen, Jeans is matt.
Oh, Elise! Your Bride & Groom turned out so adorable! I'm wondering how that yarn is when knitting. You know, how it affects your hands etc? I love your amigurumi characters and their knit clothes have such a tailored look. 🩷✌️🧶
I like yarnart jeans for my smaller projects. What I like the most is the variety of colors that they have.I get it from an app that ships from Turkey.
Hi Elise, first, the wedding was lovely. Both you and your daughter looked stunning! Yes, weddings are crazy busy, we have been through 2 daughter's weddings. How sweet to have bride and groom amigurumi dolls as mementos, plus now you'll have a pattern too. They're so precious! You pulled it off, but I'm sorry you were so stressed out. It would have worked out had the first yarn not set you back so much. ;-)
HolaI love your tutorials and the way you splaying about the different ways to improve crocheting More fun. Love the story about your Daughter wedding 🤩It was great. Question. I am trying to do the Dr Woh Tom Baker he was the 4th Doctor. I have the pattern, but it calls for a 4 Play yarn. Or is best to us the Yarn Art Jeans. Thank you very much. 😃
For amigurumi you can really use whichever size yarn you want. You'll just need to adjust your crochet hook size for that yarn. The pattern will turn out larger or smaller depending on the weight of the yarn you use! Hope that helps! 🧶🧶🧶
Congratulations to your daughter and her new husband! I live in Canada and finding skin colour is almost impossible, it is usually out of stock! I do have a question, have you ever done a doll, with hair in a bun or ponytail, and have the head go floppy after it is finished? Any suggestions on how to fix without undoing anything?
Thank you! The head on this doll is a little floppy because of the weight of the hair! In the past I've used a rolled up piece of felt to stabilize the neck. But of course that has to be done while you're making the doll, lol. 👰🏼♀️💍💒🤵🏻♂️❤️🧶
no way! this is my absolutely favorite yarn and the shop that I buy it from is owned by such a sweet lady and she sells it for 1.70 usd (transferred from my currency)
What a coincidence, I recently made a set of amigurumi bride and groom for a couple that celebrated their anniversary, and I managed to get the bride hair almost similar. The secret was to make really long the hair straps back on the neck, so you have enough hair to make the hair bun to hold the bride’s veil.
Oh my goodness. What an adventure. They turned out so nice and adding the tulle for her veil will be the perfect touch. I feel you on that time management thing. We've all been there but i was getting anxious just watching your update from the night before 😂
Are we sisters from another mother?????? I DID THE SAME THING 😮😳😳😳 I designed and knit a shawl for my daughter's wedding 😂 WITH KNUPPS! ....idiot. I was blocking it right before we flew out. Phewwww It was beautiful. And I saw the pictures of the wedding day....you looked GORGEOUS, your daughter was GORGEOUS!! everything looked so pretty
What a coincidence! I just made a little toy using a pattern that calls for YarnArt Jeans. I actually don't have it so l used something else, but the pattern called for 2.0 mm hook and that's what l used with my similar weight yarn as well.
Fun fact: Hobinisyarns charges $11 shipping for $0-19.99 for US shipping (rates vary depending on country or "zone"), so that $2.59 yarn isn't such a great deal compared to Amazon at $4-5/doughnut with free Prime shipping. The shipping rate for Hobinisyarns goes up depending on cart total, until you get to $250 at which point shipping is free.
Elise! Your daughter is a beautiful bride! Such a beautiful wedding! I love all the different flowers and colors she chose.
You are a super hero for finishing those adorable dolls while tackling all the wedding stuff!
She will treasure those forever 💖
Thank you so much! 🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
I agree with adding the veil, but I wouldn't change the bride's hair at all. It's absolutely beautiful. I'm sure your daughter and son-in-law will cherish the set for years to come. Congratulations!👰🏼♀️🤵🏼♂️

@@EliseRoseCrocheti've got to say though it's a lot cheaper in my country 😳 it's around a dollar here
Czechia here and I, too, was happy to see a video about a yarn that I've actually seen in shops in my country!
my country also has a lot of yarnart at shops! would love to see reviews on some of the others (jeans plus, baby cotton, dolce)
Thank you for sharing not only your thoughts on these yarns, but also your stressful journey to complete the adorable little toys. You deserve a big trophy 😁

Thank you for the wonderful videos! Your daughter's wedding was beautiful!
A trick I found with mohair to make it easier to frog an object is to freeze it.
I think the doll bride's hair is beautiful and I don't think you should change it. The photo of the couple and dolls is a priceless memory!
Thank you so much for that tip! I have actually heard that one time from an experienced friend, but have never tried it!! 🥶
I love Amygerumy and granny squares. I totally agree with you that granny squares Are amazing
The bride doll's hair is so so beautiful!
Thank you! 💍🤵🏻♂️👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
I would love a video tutorial on crocheting hair. I love making amigurumi dolls but I always dread the hair.

I can’t wait for your patterns to come out, you can just breathe now and relax.
Take care and stay safe and well. God bless you all 🙏🏼💗🧶😻
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet 🙏🏽💗😻
Elise, congratulations to the happy couple!! Your daughter's dress was absolutely beautiful!! She was a beautiful bride. I also love all the gorgeous flowers...very beautiful. The dolls came out sooo adorable...I love, love, love them!! What a special gift❤
I'm glad you got to finish them on time🤗😍
Thank you so much!! 🤵🏻♂️💍💐👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
Congrats on the wedding!!! Those pictures/video you shared are amazing. That venue looks incredible. I hope everyone had a wonderful time.
I love that you talk about the softness of the yarn. That's a HUGE factor for me since I make so many dolls. If I don't like working with it because it's scratchy or otherwise uncomfortable, I can't expect someone else to want to buy a doll made from it, you know?
Thank you! It was an incredible day!! And I totally get it about how the yarn feels! 👰🏼♀️🤵🏻♂️💍💒❤️🧶
Congratulations, you made it through your first wedding of one of your children ❤ . It’s a very sweet and crazy time! I very much admire the wonderful gift you created for them . I think I’ll try that yarn arts yarn , when I’m able to use my thumb. (Take some time to relax now ☺️🌹)
Thank you so much, Karen! I had no idea how much work it would be, but I also didn't realize how wonderful it would be as well! I have felt so tired since we came home!!! 💍🤵🏻♂️👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet 🌹👍🏼
YAIY for getting your dolls done JUST on time!!! Hope the wedding was as fun & wonderful as it looked, for you, your daughter, & for your son-in-law!!!
Also I'm no stranger to the "why isn't this yarn working" stress, frustration & downright rage!!!
Haha!! Thank you! It was such a beautiful wedding!! 🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
Love the dolls. Thank you for sharing the yarns, will have to check out the yarns . Congratulations to the bride and groom 🎉
Thank you so much! 🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
Congratulations Elise! I enjoyed your ramble about yarn! I myself am a rambler as well. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, from one rambler to another!! 😅👰🏼♀️🤵🏻♂️💍❤️💒🧶
Congrats to your daughter and also those dolls are beautiful! I lOVE her hair!!!
Thank you so much 🤗
I messaged you about this yarn a few weeks ago. Well I ordered some and it is my favorite. I have never been really good with heavier yarns. I have always worked with crochet thread or even sewing thread and made doilies, table clothes etc. But I fell in love with Amigurumi and this is perfect yarn. My only con is I can’t make the really big critters with it and sometimes people think if it is small you didn’t work very hard on it. Oh well there loss 😀. Thank you for telling us about this yarn. Love your program.
I'm so glad you like the yarn as much as I do!!! It really is ideal for amigurumi!!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for more insightful information! Gorgeous bride and mother of the bride!♥️
Thank you so much! 🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
Thank you. I wondered how this yarn would work. I have problems with cotton yarn as well, oh to be non arthritic again , lol. I just live your amigurumi creations. I can spot your work without fail. Your bride and groom are darling . You did a fantastic job basing them on your beautiful daughter and handsome son-in-ilaw. I related so much to your down to the wire panic work on your dolls. I too have thought up grand ideas that I wanted to be perfect causing me to still be working on them right up to crunch time. Oh, the things we put ourselves through in the search for perfection. Truth be told, in my case, perfect rarely is achieved in anything I do. I've learned to cut myself some slack.....okay, that's a work in progress as well. You are so talented and creative. Keep up the great work. A talent by any other name is still amazing.
Thank you so very much! It's a great yarn, but I could see it causing some hand soreness for people who are susceptible to it! 🧶🧶🧶
They both turned out so cute! Your daughter looked so beautiful! I'm definitely checking out that yarn..the colors are amazing!
They really are! Thank you!! 💒👰🏼♀️💍🤵🏻♂️❤️🧶
You are extremely talented, and the bride and groom dolls are so beautiful. Very well done 😃! And congrats to your family. Your daughter was a beautiful bride ☺️!
Thank you so much! ❤️
I have been really curious about this yarn. I am so glad you did a review. I think I will try it on the ami I plan to make my sister. And congrats to everyone!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the review! And thank you! 🧶🧶🧶
Oh my goodness it sounds so stressful having it down to the wire like that! So glad you got it done in time for them to take pictures with them on the wedding day (even if the veil wasn’t done!). ❤
Haha!!! It was a little stressful and I did it to myself, lol! 🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
Hello Elise , what fun to see and hear about the wedding . Your daughter looked gorgeous , the both did . What a beautiful family . The little bride and groom are so cute , you did a great job . I have never used yarnart yarn , they have beautiful colors I must say . ❤
Thank you! They do have gorgeous colors and so many to choose from! 🧶🧶🧶
Congratulations! On the wedding and the dolls!
Thank you so much 😀
Wow, dolls look so beautiful and the idea itself is great! Yarnart Jeans is one of the most popular yarns for amigurumi in Eastern Europe and it is also one of the cheapest and the most common in its segment (approx. 1.5$ for a ball). I usually use 2.25 hook for it and it's a great yarn to try a new pattern - it has lots of colours and is easier that 100% cotton due to a little stretch it has.
Thank you so much for sharing! It's not as easily accessible here, but it is available online! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for the great review!! Love the wedding photos. The doll’s hair is dreamy and adorable. Hope you make fairy looking dolls. It sounded interesting as you described it. So much thinking goes into amigurumi as you have explained. Lots of trial and error to get to “perfection”. Your work is magnificent.
Thank you so much! 👰🏼♀️💍🤵🏻♂️💒🧶❤️
@@EliseRoseCrochet you’re welcome. I am trying out cotton sprout for dish cloths. So far so good. Using the suggested 5mm on label. I like the yarn and will have to try when I get into amigurumi....want to try your free patterns before I indulge in buying something.
Beautiful family, thank you for sharing your family's special day. Can't wait for pattern to come out for the dolls. Keep up the wonderful work. Hope your husband made it through the big day too. Six of our children have married and we loved the weddings but exhausting 😅🤗
Thank you so much!! My husband and I worked our tails off!!! 😅 And I told our other daughter that she needs to give her dad and I time before we have another wedding!! 💍👰🏼♀️💒🤵🏻♂️❤️🧶
Have you ever tried stylecraft special double knit yarn? I absolutely LOVE it for amigurumi. It's a DK wt yarn. I get it from wool warehouse. Currently it's only £2.14 which even with the conversion to USD and shipping costs, it's still great. 100% acrylic, 100g... and soft but still great for amigurumi projects.
I have used it for blankets but not amiguurmi!! It is a fabulous yarn and soooo many colors!! 🧶🧶🧶
So glad you also like this yarn as it's my fave for small amigurumi & I found it very early on in my crochet journey.
I'm glad you did a video about it!
Saw u bought some & was wondering how you liked it.
That's a GREAT price for it too.
I bought mine from Etsy & it was $125 for 33 skeins.
I also love the variety of colors.
Hope you're having a great weekend!
Thanks so much!! Yes, the price from Hobibisyarns is fantastic!! 🧶🧶🧶
@LePetitSaintCrochet Thank you! Couldn't make out the name in ur video but SO happy you posted it! Will buy from there next order.💕
The bride and groom are so cute❤ whew that was cutting it super close
Way too close for this momma!!! 😅👰🏼♀️🤵🏻♂️💒💖❤️🧶💍
Yes congratulations. This is elegant. Thank you
What a beautiful family, the dolls are cute af!
Awww! Thank you! 🤵🏻♂️👰🏼♀️💒💍❤️🧶
Ah, the dolls are great❤ Immediately made me think of a previous video of yours (where you talk about gauge ), as I was mentally remaking the dress in Drops Muskat as it's a mercerised cotton & would be shiny. I'd make it more "tubey" & add an over layer of tuille. The hair is fab ❤❤❤
It's my 40 th wedding anniversary this October, so I might make these to celebrate 😂
Great review of the yarn which I have on my list to use. It seems very popular in Europe.
Thank you!! And happy upcoming anniversary!! 🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
Super cute dolls.
Thank you 🤗
Congratulation ❤ my grand ma😊good jop i learns a lot from each video ❤😊
Thank you so much! 🧶🧶🧶
I just bought some of this yarn to make some amigurumi and I LOVE IT!
It's so great for amigurumi! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet it definitely is! 🧶
Hi Elise, what an interesting video today. Loved seeing the pics from the wedding! Your daughter was so beautiful. You two look so much alike. That was so interesting about the crochet cotton and how it can hurt your hands. I have had the same problem and thought it must just be me. I few years ago when I was crocheting baby toys for my grand niece, (She loved tropical fish, so I made several brightly colored fish and an octopus) They were just the right size to be thrown into the baby bag and could be thrown in the washer) I fell in love with some beautiful cotton worsted wt. I bought almost every color they had. But when I went to crochet with it I had a hard time enjoying the feel and pull of the yarn. I still have loads of it and am determined to use it in some new amigurumi projects, but I have been avoiding it. Hope you have a wonderful day ahead!
Yes. I've had a lot of problems with cotton yarn because it's less stretchy and my joints need the stretch! Your fishies sound adorable! 🐟🐠🐡
What a great idea! Will you be releasing the patterns after the tweaks? Those are adorable! The hair on the bride!! Lovely wedding photos. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! And yes, once I'm done tweaking I will release the patterns! 💍👰🏼♀️💒🤵🏻♂️❤️🧶
Congrats! Such a beautiful family!
Thank you so much!! 🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
For amigurumi I love to use yarn art jeans, I usually use 2,5mm crochet hook. At Slovakia we have this yarn almost in every yarn shop, or online shops. It is very popular among the Slovakian crocheters. 🧶❤ I love to watch your videos when I crochet 😊
Thanks for sharing! ❤
2.5 mm?
I used this hook number but I see my Amigurumi has holes in it .😢
@@nildadel9795 I have some not branded hooks from china, when I use different hooks ist from 1,5mm to 2,5mmm
Hi, I didn't even know your page existed! Nice to meet you and I enjoyed this video very much! Beautiful family! I started amigurumi in the past and was not successful, maybe I'll try again thanks!
Thank you so much!! Yes! Don't give up one it! Once it clicks you'll be crocheting amigurumi up a storm! 🧸
I use a thicker version of that yarn, Jeans/Gina Plus (Yarnart) to make amigurumi dolls using Carla Mitrani's (AmourFou's) patterns. I use a 5mm hook to get nice dolls that are bigger than what you get with the recommended hook size and yarn (too tiny for me). I'm very happy with the yarn, especially when it comes to the range of colours - great skin tones like you said and nice stitch deffinition.
Thanks so much for sharing about that yarn! 👰🏼♀️💍🤵🏻♂️💒❤️🧶
Hello, Elise! I have always relied on information about recommended hook size, and here it was really disappointing. On the label it says 3-3.5 mm but it was waaaay too big and the one that fitted perfectly for me was 2.5 mm. Thanks for your review!
You're welcome! 🧶🧶🧶
Elise, your whole family is simply beautiful! I’m also giggling and wondering about their reactions as you sat there the day of the wedding not allowing any one to speak to you, crocheting away. 😂
And thank you for covering this yarn, especially highlighting the skintones. I know I had asked your advice on those because I’ve been stalling out on making my RBG ami because the Skein tones yarn (which may be too thick for the Crochet Iconic Women patterns anyhow. I think the book used the Yarnart Jeans?) had been on clearance and I never could find ivory and the next shade up was ridiculously pink leaning. I’ve never made any sort of crochet doll style pattern but I think they’re so beautiful and have a friend who makes absolutely incredible dolls.
Funny enough I actually picked up some tulle for super cheap at Joann’s with their extra 75% off remnants. I’ve also got lace and chiffon (though those I was thinking I’d use just for decor- though I admit I’m a lifelong Stevie Nicks fan and think designing a Stevie Nicks ami would be amazing complete with a little Gold Dust Woman shawl 😂). Anyway, I was thinking maybe I’d make a ballerina because I used to be a very serious dancer until I developed health issues and the tulle would make a cute tutu. But maybe I’ll have to try your bride pattern when you release it!
Congrats again to your daughter and her new husband! And to you- though good luck getting used to the fact that one of your babies now has a husband of her own! ❤
Thank you so much! These really have nice skin tones!! And your Stevie Nicks idea sounds fabulous!! ✨
I use mainly this one yarn and i like to use 2,5 mm hook. "Yarnart jeans" is a tiny bit thicker than Gazzal baby cotton, DMC happy cotton, Rainbow Hobbii, Yarnart Begonia (100% cotton). I have Begonia just one color and it is little bit slippery and have little sheen, Jeans is matt.
Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
Oh, Elise!
Your Bride & Groom turned out so adorable!
I'm wondering how that yarn is when knitting. You know, how it affects your hands etc? I love your amigurumi characters and their knit clothes have such a tailored look.
🩷✌️🧶
I haven't tried knitting with it, but that's a really good question!! 🧶🧶🧶
congrats on your daugthers wedding :) she look so pretty and a lot like you :) your bride and groom are so cute
Thank you so much!! 🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
A little advice for frogging mohair yarn, if you pull it while having the working end at 60° angle it comes apart very easily! :)
Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
I like yarnart jeans for my smaller projects. What I like the most is the variety of colors that they have.I get it from an app that ships from Turkey.
They have soooo many colors!! 🧶🧶🧶
Congrats to your daughter. Your dolls are gorgeous, you did an awesome job. Will sign up for your email . Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you so much 🤗
I think it's soft. A lot softer than 24/7 for sure
Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
Hi Elise, first, the wedding was lovely. Both you and your daughter looked stunning! Yes, weddings are crazy busy, we have been through 2 daughter's weddings. How sweet to have bride and groom amigurumi dolls as mementos, plus now you'll have a pattern too. They're so precious! You pulled it off, but I'm sorry you were so stressed out. It would have worked out had the first yarn not set you back so much. ;-)
Thank you so much!! It was worth the stress!!! ❤️❤️❤️
That’s obsession at its best!!!
Totally obsessed! 🤣🤣🤣
Those plushies are so cute I still think you should try yarn bee you are so amazing
Thanks for sharing!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching! 👰🏼♀️🤵🏻♂️💒❤️💍🧶
HolaI love your tutorials and the way you splaying about the different ways to improve crocheting More fun. Love the story about your Daughter wedding 🤩It was great. Question. I am trying to do the Dr Woh Tom Baker he was the 4th Doctor. I have the pattern, but it calls for a 4 Play yarn. Or is best to us the Yarn Art Jeans. Thank you very much. 😃
For amigurumi you can really use whichever size yarn you want. You'll just need to adjust your crochet hook size for that yarn. The pattern will turn out larger or smaller depending on the weight of the yarn you use! Hope that helps! 🧶🧶🧶
Congratulations to your daughter and her new husband! I live in Canada and finding skin colour is almost impossible, it is usually out of stock! I do have a question, have you ever done a doll, with hair in a bun or ponytail, and have the head go floppy after it is finished? Any suggestions on how to fix without undoing anything?
Thank you! The head on this doll is a little floppy because of the weight of the hair! In the past I've used a rolled up piece of felt to stabilize the neck. But of course that has to be done while you're making the doll, lol. 👰🏼♀️💍💒🤵🏻♂️❤️🧶
no way! this is my absolutely favorite yarn and the shop that I buy it from is owned by such a sweet lady and she sells it for 1.70 usd (transferred from my currency)
That is wonderful!! It's such a great yarn!! 🧶🧶🧶
What a coincidence, I recently made a set of amigurumi bride and groom for a couple that celebrated their anniversary, and I managed to get the bride hair almost similar. The secret was to make really long the hair straps back on the neck, so you have enough hair to make the hair bun to hold the bride’s veil.
Thanks for sharing! 🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
Your daughter is so pretty congratulations
Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness. What an adventure. They turned out so nice and adding the tulle for her veil will be the perfect touch. I feel you on that time management thing. We've all been there but i was getting anxious just watching your update from the night before 😂
Haha!!! I was feeling so stressed!!! But it all turned out amazing! 👰🏼♀️💍🤵🏻♂️💒❤️🧶
Are we sisters from another mother??????
I DID THE SAME THING 😮😳😳😳
I designed and knit a shawl for my daughter's wedding 😂 WITH KNUPPS!
....idiot. I was blocking it right before we flew out.
Phewwww
It was beautiful.
And I saw the pictures of the wedding day....you looked GORGEOUS, your daughter was GORGEOUS!! everything looked so pretty
Lol!!! Why do we do this to ourselves???? 😂
What a coincidence! I just made a little toy using a pattern that calls for YarnArt Jeans. I actually don't have it so l used something else, but the pattern called for 2.0 mm hook and that's what l used with my similar weight yarn as well.
That is a coincidence!! Thanks for sharing! 🧶❤️💒🤵🏻♂️💍👰🏼♀️
Great info!
I'm so glad!! 👰🏼♀️🤵🏻♂️💒❤️💍🧶
Congratulation 😍 ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
Thank you so much! 👰🏼♀️🤵🏻♂️💒💍❤️
thanks for vid pretty lady. congrats. be safe
Thank you! You too! 💍🤵🏻♂️👰🏼♀️💒❤️🧶
Fun fact: Hobinisyarns charges $11 shipping for $0-19.99 for US shipping (rates vary depending on country or "zone"), so that $2.59 yarn isn't such a great deal compared to Amazon at $4-5/doughnut with free Prime shipping. The shipping rate for Hobinisyarns goes up depending on cart total, until you get to $250 at which point shipping is free.
Thanks so much for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
