I ♥️ your Chile Man! He's so fun. Love the eyes and thank you for sharing your source. I am glad you showed how the 💚green goblin yarn worked on your plushie.
There are scammers everywhere!! I can't think like a scammer, so I am always afraid I would make an easy target 🎯. Love all of your makes. Your little elephant trunk looks just like a baby elephants trunk really looks like 😊❤
Love your makes this week Robyn, especially your Moose and Mona pattern. Scammers are just everywhere now, can’t believe people do it . Have a great week coming up 😃
Love senior 🌶 pepper Maybe a Jalapeno for some Hot Stuff. YOUR WORK AMAZIBG. New patterns great, just perfect. So glad you set people staright on the yarn buying issue. Your work your money your choice
Love moose and Mona, like their shape, hoping you make more styles especially a cow. I'll be getting all of them, but have to wait till next month. I think k their so precious.
Be sure to dispute the $75 as well. If your bank has excellent customer service they should have no problem with it. The worst thing that can happen is that the bank cannot recover the funds after the investigation.
I deal directly with the organizers that I know. I got scammed a little over a year ago and learned the hard way. Got my money back from bank. Sorry that happened to you. Best of luck ❤
We have a lot of market scammers around here. They will make a fake flier they look legit. But there is always something off. If you are ever in doubt all the place the event is supposed to be held and ask if the have an event for that day and do they know the people.
Sorry for your encounter with a scammer. I do many shows, consign to shops and have never been given a tax form or had to share personal info like a SS. I made your monkey. Love her so much and will be making more. I did sew on all the parts as for me it was like being on sleeve island. I just wanted to get to the body so for the next I'm going to make up lots of bodies and then make the parts a few at a time. So worth it though, cute as can be. Thx for sharing your creativity. Love the bear with all the random colors. Take care and hope your week is peaceful!!!
Love this info. The only amigurumi yarn I have used is Dollar Store Chenille or Bernat blanket because of the price and availability locally (I only have a Dollar Store or Walmart within 3 hours, lol.)
First I loved everything! That pepper is amazing! I just ordered Fluffy Flex and I am so glad it is good yarn. Whew! It is scary ordering yarn you have yet to see and feel but I trust your opinion so woohoo! Cannot wait to try it! You are 100% correct. The product is only as good as the materials used to make it.
Oh I hope Joann’s figures it out too! I just did a huge yarn order, over 100 skeins. It makes me sad that I may not be able to do that again. Such a bummer. I absolutely love Baby Bear, wish they had more colors.
Very cute makes!!! The patchwork bear is adorable 🥰 Looking forward to buying Moose and whatever your third pattern is - you have been busy! You have had a week! I have a low limit credit card I use for all my orders because I hear a lot about identity theft from my motel guests. When the cc upped my limit I called them to put it back down to the lowest allowed. It will be declined before the scammers get too far.
Omg!!! Omg!!! I love love love the tiger!!!! The monkeys are all so adorable. Love the pattern. The patchwork bear is precious! Moose is darling. I am such a slacker compared to you. Can’t wait for everyone’s reaction to the “third one”.
Hello Robin. So sorry for what happened. People are just horrible. You can’t trust anyone. But on the positive side, I love your new patterns. I’m so excited to see the “secret” one. I’m sure it’s awesome. The squirrels are very cute.
I have heard about this scam when I lived back in MD. It is suggested that you contact the venue before sending any money this is happening a lot now. 😢
Moose is very adorable and I can’t wait to make him! So sorry about your craft show. It’s just not right that individuals are so dishonest. Try contacting the bank to see if you can get your $75.00 back. I signed up for my first show in October. So thanks for the warnings about scammers. You inspired me to make a lovey dragon in the ombré yarn. He turned out cute, but I sure need more experience sewing pieces together. It’s harder than it looks. Thanks again for all you share with us.
Never w-9 in 25 years doing shows. Gift card at grocery store for the payment for event. Money orders plus. But yes we had a scammer here planning event without being an actual coordinator. Be careful!
Double check the e mail to make sure the manager person is the right person. I've never provided a w-9 to sign up for a festival or show. Most people will either give you a link to a website or square quote to pay with and last if it feels off listen to your gut. I love asking a ton of questions to check it out. ❤ hope this helps. Scammers are just ridiculous out there. 😢
The squirrel came out so cute in that brown! And I’m sorry to hear about the festival issue… I can’t believe there are people that would go to such lengths to scam people! Besides Joann’s issues, I heard that Michaels is pulling the sweet snuggles and home slim lines because of the quality issues. If both companies take away those choices, the corn hey community will suffer greatly with the lack of yarn choices. ☹️
Wow, sorry about the scam situation.... I totally agree with you regarding yarn quality. If we don't start letting these companies know that we "notice" that the quality has changed then they will continue to cut corners on quality. I've returned yarn for very same reason... On a lighter note, purchased your monkey pattern and looking forward to making him. The tiger is adorable! I'm definitely heartbroken about Joann's. I had placed a big order 2 days ago and they cancelled the whole thing. Love the giraffe, hoping you'll make a horse pattern and a cow pattern. The bear is adorable!
Loving all this content. Hope you get your $ and market/festival figured out. I purchased Rose & Lily-Evie the Elephant last summer. I think you’d love her pattern. I used Sweet Snuggles and it worked up so cute!!! I am excited about your new patterns. Running to your Etsy… Also, I used to be a banking center manager, and ever since that experience I use a credit card versus debit card for all my purchases. Fraud protection.
I've never had a market request a W9. However, I was almost scammed out of a $200 market. Thank goodness the coordinator contacted all of us letting us know not to pay through this person. I ended up going and paying cash.
I will be getting the new patterns Wednesday! (social security payday!) ive only been scammed once. i bit for the USPS scam and it bit hard! almost 700.00 bucks! but all was reversed minus one overdraft charge, SUCKS big time. Loved all ur makes! im working on a Yeti now! 💜💜💜
Love the chili pepper 🌶 and the tiger 🐅 everything you make looks adorable 😍 I have gift cards for joanns, so I'm going to spend them as soon as I can get to a store ( I have to travel since my local store closed last year). I hope they can stay open....all other options are very limited. You should be able to get your money back for the market since it was a scam. 😊
I was scammed last spring for $125 for an "inside market" in Spring Hill. I paid on PayPal, but it was put on their secretary's "donation" account. I saw their ad on a market facebook group and we communicated via messenger. About a week before the market, I sent, or tried to send, a message to the guy...it wouldn't go thru. I called the "venue" where it was supposed to take place and they had no idea what i was talking about and they sing, etc at real venues. Their place is not an actual venue. I contacted my bank, nothing they could do and contacted PayPal and there was nothing they could do either. I worked hard to scrape up that $125. I don't have extra money just to throw away. Alot of crocheting and giving up a needed thing. I shared on that Facebook market group and also contacted the admin. They pretty much said it sucks to be you. I am usually very careful about these things bc of scam artists, but I got excited at the thought of being indoors during the heat of July and disregarded my instinct. So yup, sucked to be me.
I have never been asked for that form. You could contact one of the radio stations to get the phone number for the coordinators then contact them and find out for sure. I use Venmo and Zelle and I’ve never had any issues. Love how the Chili Pepper turned out and even if you don’t do that market I bet it sells ❤ Oh and 🤫 😂. Have a great day 🥰🧶
you must be constantly crocheting (when you’re not writing patterns! You get so much done! I’m too laid back! Love the bear and jungle animals! Great colors. Now you have me curious about that Flecks yarn. I really want to try the frosting yarn. I have $100 in gift cards for Joann, I’d better use them before they aren’t good anymore. I think they will be ok tho, it would be horrible for us if they closed. Sorry about the market and what you went through. Lesson learned I guess. 🦋💖🦋💖
Too bad about market but…if not far away I would be tempted to show up at set up time…just in case. Your monkey and giraffe are so sweet. I am guessing you are making a baby hippo😂. No no, elephant with a better trunk…that’s my final guess.
Sorry to hear what happened and hope you get your money back. It's too bad you can't report this to police or event organizer. I stopped using my debit card because I heard of two friends who got scammed like you. Anyways love Mona. I have put it in my Etsy cart. I hope it's beginner friendly. I have made simple plushies. My last one being Patrick Star. 😊
I keep wondering about joanns exclusive brands like Big Twist, will Big Twist try to continue business and partner with other craft stores? or go with just an online store? I kinda hope Big Twist continues even if Joanns folds.
I would find it helpful if you said what price you might put on items that you’re bringing to market I have a hard time knowing what to price items at thanks
Thanks for the forecast! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
That chili pepper is adorable! I also love your monkey..so cute! I asked before but don't know if you saw...is there a pattern for the cow that is on the shelf behind you? I just love it!
I would consult your Chamber of Commerce. they should have info on festival ,if it is in your area. Such as who collects, rates, etc. I don't trust the apps either. shouldn't your bank reimburse you?
@@KnottingHookCrochetthere have been so many issues recently with debit cards, think everyone is trying to get in our pockets; am surprised your bank is helping you.
I've seen vendor groups on facebook warn about people saying there are people saying their are going to host a market and once they get all the payments from the vendors they will cancel and say no-fundable...its really scummy
I ♥️ your Chile Man! He's so fun. Love the eyes and thank you for sharing your source.
I am glad you showed how the 💚green goblin yarn worked on your plushie.
That 🌶️ is adorable. I would love to try someday. Very impressive and a truly stupendous mustache. Thank you for the scam info as well.
So glad you shared this info. Please everyone be vigilant and protect yourself.
There are scammers everywhere!! I can't think like a scammer, so I am always afraid I would make an easy target 🎯. Love all of your makes. Your little elephant trunk looks just like a baby elephants trunk really looks like 😊❤
I absolutely love the red pepper oh my to the squirrel, and love ❤ the monkey! Fantastic hooking Robin
I love your tiger - the color makes it so, so, cute.
Robin sorry to hear you had that scam happen. You were quick to catch it and get it stopped. Way to go !
Perfect Tiger for our Detroit Tigers! 🐯 so glad Parfait is seeming good!! So sorry to hear about your scammer. 😡🤬
Love all of your makes! You are very talented!

What a bunch of cuties. The tiger is so cute and the chili pepper is hilarious. The patchwork bear is very pretty.

Love your Moose and Mona patterns. I need to make a tiger sometime soon for my grandson who loves the Bengals football team!
I am loving your patchwork animals they are so pretty
I deal directly with the organizers that I know. I got scammed a little over a year ago and learned the hard way. Got my money back from bank. Sorry that happened to you. Best of luck ❤
That fluorescent tiger is awesome!I love the brightness.
We have a lot of market scammers around here. They will make a fake flier they look legit. But there is always something off. If you are ever in doubt all the place the event is supposed to be held and ask if the have an event for that day and do they know the people.
Wow, it sounds like you had a heck of a week. That tiger is adorable as all of the makes you showed are.
Crochet by genna talked about getting almost scammed in a market setting!
Love all your makes
Thanks for sharing my Mona Brown !! I can't wait for the next one!

A zebra would look fab in your pattern style. Maybe with fur yarn for the mane?!
W9'S are used as proof of who you are when you are starting a new job as part of your HR. I worked for a CPA.
I never got asked for a tax form. But I have been scammed twice. My very first time I paid for a craft show and the other was Amazon.
Very cute makes!!! The patchwork bear is adorable 🥰 Looking forward to buying Moose and whatever your third pattern is - you have been busy!

Nope nope nope never
