100%. What she did was really impressive but 3hrs of work isn’t “last minute.” She could have gone to the store and back multiple times with that time. But handmade things are more meaningful of course 🫶🏼 impressive either way.
Ive been crocheting for years and its such a good craft, really helps me keep my hands busy when I need to focus. Ill give u the same advice I give any beginner, find a way to keep count of rows & stitches. Its so common and easy to skip or add stitches, definetly isnt the end of the world tho just something that improves with practice. I skipped several stitches on my first project (a table runner) and it ended up being wonky, but I still loved it.
A gift like that would mean 10x more to me then if you bought something. I would still appreciate the other gifts but the fact you made it for me means more
Agreed but sometimes people don't care if its handmade.I make bracelets as gifts or home made cards but people wanted something buyed rather than made.I low-key will love that handmade gift than a buyed one♡
@@Priv251 I've noticed that the people who almost exclusively got homemade gifts growing up prefer store bought ones now and vice versa; tho there's also a hefty number of people who prefer homemade gifts simply because gifts in the past haven't been personal, store bought or not.
@@rosaliac.386 I prefer handmade just because they're thoughtful and personal (it was made *for* me and or with them thinking of me)... I don't know, they always felt more special to me. Either that or something from my favorite series, my zodiac sign or anything like that (bought or not)
My grandmother crocheted and made so many wonderful things that my family still fights over who gets to keep what, whether it's her blankets, or Christmas stockings, or even little pot holders. They are so treasured in my family. Even my kids are arguing now over who gets to inherit what when they're older! Crotcheters of the world, you are wonderful! Keep putting out your beautiful work in the world ❤
I'm 33 but I've made so many things in hopes that my kids will appreciate it one day. They all have a blanket and a stuffed animal, christmas stockings the list goes on.
Same😭 crochet is NOT a last minute gift for me lol, I have to plan that stuff months ahead of time. Now if you've got an easy sewing project? 4 hours no problem
@@rosaliac.386Help I followed a beginner friendly tutorial on how to make a cat, was doing good up to the edging part because instead of a round, chubby and smol body I created a giant square instead. When I was following a granny square tutorial I made a circle that formed into a tiny sock.
When 2 years ago I was unemployed and broke, my 2 teen cousins kinda wanted Christmas gifts, so I told them, that I couldn't buy them anything, but crochet or knit them something. So I gave them 2 handmade bags, and fantasy jewelry.
Wow, I didn't expect so many likes. The 18 yo one was so happy about her bag, collar and earrings with pearls and smiley faces, as extra as she wanted. The 13 yo asked me for a kawaii duck bag big enough for her phone. They were both very excited, also they were special gifts cause I made them precisely for them.
I'm very happy to read all these comments from many kind hearted people... I'm practicing crochet for the past 20 years... I taught it to many friends too...but whenever I gifted crochet gifts which i thought useful to them, many people thought they were cheap because its handmade...i was demotivated n stopped making crochet gifts...now I'm making things only for myself n my daughters... Kudos to you dear for taking this art forward...the world needs persons like you... keep up your good work...❤
Hey, just want to spread the love. Also, I’m not sure what you made before, but if you’re worried about how they think it’s cheap but still want to make it, maybe just try to make something that is used in the home, like a throw blanket, doily or coasters. I would stay away from things that people have to wear to use. I bought many people silk scarves and ties from my country and they don’t end up getting used. Everybody’s fashion sense is different.
If someone doesn't appreciate a gift because they think it's cheap, they've lost the meaning behind gift giving as a whole. Handmade gifts are what people really hold onto when they look back later in life, not some fancy store bought trinket. Someone made my dad a blanket when he was sick. When he passed, my oldest child got attached to it. He doesn't sleep with it anymore, but it's still there in his room waiting for him to grab it and take a minute to remember. When he has kids, he plans to pass it down. All because someone took the time to make a blanket by hand. Your friends and family are lucky to have someone who loves them enough to make them a memory they can hold.
My girlfriend commissioned a friend to make her a crochet fox hat, and gave the friend $50 for it! Which, considering that the Canadian minimum wage is $17.30 an hour, isn't super unreasonable. I bet if your friends realized how much your crochet gifts would cost if they'd actually had to go out and buy them, they'd be changing their tunes really fast
If someone gifts me a crochet anything I'll cherish it for the rest of time because I know that first the yarn isnt very cheap and although it's not an overall expensive gift it has a lot more thought put into it than a book or something from the store
My wife is an expert knitter/crocheter. I was very skilled in woodwork until arthritis hit my hands. We both learned very early that you only gift people with your own work if they're capable of appreciating what went into it. Too many friends - even family - can take a week's hard work, or even a month's - and simply think you're being cheap. Next time, really DO get them a cheap gift.
Beautiful work! Can I give you a tip? When you insert safety eyes into a project with blanket yarn, they can pull through. If you take a square of material and place it against the crochet work, slip the safety eye through both the crochet and the material, and then put on the safety back, it stays better. :)
I would scream (silently) and cry tears of joy if I received that as a gift. Then I’d ask for a consensual hug. What I’m trying to say is: fantastic job, Uyen.
Totally agree!!! One of my friends crocheted me a scarf that looked like a roll of sushi when it rolled up. I still have it like 15 years later and I still love it :)
@@shellymills8105 this is such an amazing idea (the sushi scarf). I mostly make plushiest or keychains for everyone but the scarf seems like something I’d wear 🥰
This is simply the most beautiful thing. You are so talented! I don't care what anyone would say. You dedicated 3 hours to a gift That says so much about how important that person is to you. Sometimes going out to dinner on someone's birthday is only an hour or two. As a person who crafts and tries to make special things for the people I love this is so wonderful to see. Now I got to go finish a quilt for my dad! I'm on hour 18 but day 42 LOL
My mom had been crocheting a baby blanket with paw prints for it. She didn’t know who it would go to, but made it waiting for it to call to her when it was suitable. Recently someone we know became pregnant, and her family used to raise puppies for a living. The blanket now has a home to go to when the lady is ready.
Yay Uyen! I love your crochet videos 😍 As a crocheter myself, im super impressed by how quickly you have learned! Keep up the great work and please make more crochet videos 😆
That looks so good! Here in Australia we have volunteers that make those octopus toys to give to the babies in NICUs, they hold on to the tentacles and it comforts them as it reminds them of holding onto the umbilical cord in the womb. My premature baby had a beautiful pink one that was donated to her while she was in the NICU and I still have it 5 and a half years later
Speaking for myself, I much prefer a hand-made gift over a store-bought one. And the more dorky, quirky, funny or pun-y, the better! A gift's 'value' is about your friendship, not how much it costs.
I can’t knit or crochet to save my life but I’m quite good at embroidery! Monogrammed table napkins are usually well liked! That said I think people usually prefer my baked goods lol. Can’t go wrong with food 😂
Handmade gifts mean so much too. I have a beautiful quilt that my best friend's mum gave me. It's always in pride of place in my living room, and it always makes me think of her and my friend, and smile. ❤️
@@jiminiechubbycheeksj6296 I'd still say start on UA-cam. There are tutorials with small amigurumi or granny square projects. You can try it out with one of those and see whether you actually enjoy it. And often there are tips on how to go in the video itself or in the comments.
Pro tip: use a piece of felt about twice the size of the eye inside the plush to help attach the safety eyes. That will prevent them from being accidentally pulled out!
This is amazing but be careful!!! I made a bag of 32 granny squares in four days and developed carpal tunnel 😭😭 stretch constantly and take frequent breaks. After you reach a certain skill level where you're able to push further and go faster it feels amazing, but just remember to nit go overboard
No emergency gifts for me, I either have to plan it weeks in advance or someone is getting good tea and nice hand cream 😂 I'm the weird person who loves giving carefully planned and useful gifts (I love giving gifts in general) but I hate getting them, however if I would get something handmade I would be so happy, even if someone made it 2 hours before they gave it to me.
Uyen, seeing you have so much fun crocheting made me finally stop putting it off! I went to the dollar store and got some cheap hooks and yarn to start out. I’m nowhere near as good as you yet but I made my first granny square the other day and I’m really proud of it! :)
Amazing!! I would cherish this present. My favorite things in life were made by my friends or cook artists ive found. Always means more, way cooler, and unique!!
No, crochet for sale is completely unsustainable. It's hard on your body if you do too much (carpal tunnel, etc) and almost impossible to charge a fair price for. That's why the only crochet things you see in stores are made in third-world countries where labor costs a lot less. Otherwise, people who sell their own stuff generally do so as a side-gig without really charging for labor. I would have to charge hundreds of dollars for a tiny stuffed animal to match what I would make hourly at my day job, and I am sure it's the same for her.
Best part is that it counts as thoughtful since you made it.
Exactly as a person who can crochet i do this all the time!

German bf as labour was low-key expected XD
LOL good catch! I didn't even notice the suddenly hairy arms and hands 😂
My German bf unravels yarn for me as I go 😂
I use my dad to put on safety eyes every time lol.
German fiance* 😂😂❤
usually its the other way around
I'm gonna be so honest crochet doesn't really feel like an emergency gift 😭 takes so much time, effort, and skill
Yeah I'm doing a similar project rn and it's taking me like 2 weeks cuz I take so long in between sittings 😂
Agreed cause I would just go to Target and get a gift card & balloon. But don’t get me wrong the crocheted gift is amazing!

I made Ame and Kangel (my pfp) and kangel’s hair was so hard😔
That’s not an emergency gift. That’s thoughtful. Gift cards are emergency gifts.
True, but I would argue that gift cards for craft stores are both emergency gifts AND thoughtful lol
she just wants us to feel bad
@@bintagmina3755 not really. Learn to crochet if you feel so bad. It's not hard.
The urgency is the emergency? I have been in this situation 😂😅
@@bintagmina3755 how

Do it. I started learning last year. The start was hard but I’m so glad I stuck to it. You can do it!!!

You're endearing, creative, talented, resilient, what's more? Your bf german is so lucky to have you! What's not to love
Wow you have become so good at it! Love it!
Me watching you progress into crochet just makes me want to be your friend more. CROCHETERS UNITE
Look at all that beautiful yarn!🎉
Love your videos, so fun😂. Got motivated and just started my own channel from last week onwards. 🤞
What is your channel about? So e cited for you, good luck!
Amazing!! I would cherish this present. My favorite things in life were made by my friends or cook artists ive found. Always means more, way cooler, and unique!!
I always prefer someone making a carefully handcreafted gift then a bought one.
Omgggg this is the cutest thing ever, I would love to receive a gift like this!!! I need to learn how to do this!!
You should sell these on your channel. They are beautiful! You are very talented. ❤
No, crochet for sale is completely unsustainable. It's hard on your body if you do too much (carpal tunnel, etc) and almost impossible to charge a fair price for. That's why the only crochet things you see in stores are made in third-world countries where labor costs a lot less. Otherwise, people who sell their own stuff generally do so as a side-gig without really charging for labor. I would have to charge hundreds of dollars for a tiny stuffed animal to match what I would make hourly at my day job, and I am sure it's the same for her.
@@ariadne0w1 I guess that's why I'm not a business woman! Thanks for the explanation. It's a really lovely skill to have though.
Very talented, and what an adorable gift 😊
you are awesome!!! and your boyfriend being your helper...this is adorable, absolutely adorable. bonus
