    The book is cheaper on kindle and whenever mamamademinis release new patterns is the best time to buy from their website because they have great deals for the first 24hrs of release day. I’m currently making a dinosaur in a stuffy which I prefer over loveys

    I love my Loveys! Dela is adorably adorable! 🥰Della is always a big hit! Your eyes look great! The puppy is cute!! I've made Loveys in parfait chunky to get a smaller size. MMM terms are different. I have yet to make a giraffe. I like your lovey. They are all adorable!! 💖

    I sell most of my Loveys for $45 each. And I had no problem, and I've just finished having a order of 5 lovey's for Christmas. No problem with getting that now I did give this 1 person a discount on an on there of 10% off. Because not only was she an acquaintance, but she had ordered several stuffies from me for Christmas but they sell fine for me at $45. You might love The friendly Red Fox free patterns, they also use a neck strengthener. It is a great addition you crochet a small tube you stuff and sew into the neck area, she has several tutorials.
    You did a great job. The terminology was confusing to me as well.

    I love how the mallard turned out. You did a fantastic job on all the eyes! The MMM terminology is a bit confusing, but after you use their patterns a few times it will get easier. $35 US I think is a good price on most. The harder ones go up a notch or two on the price.

    Hi Heather, I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and just subscribed based on this video and your honest opinion of the lovey patterns!
    After being inspired by Robin from Knotting Hook Crochet and you, I finally learned amigurumi over the holiday break and the third item I made was a duck lovey for my granddaughter from a tutorial on UA-cam & I love it and so does she!
    You did an AMAZING job on all the loveys and I will definitely look up some of those patterns you mentioned. However like you I will wait for a sale for the momma made minis because $8 US is too expensive so I completely understand your frustration with paying almost $14 CA.
    Keep up the beautiful work, and hope to take part in one of your lives soon 😊

    I just started my lovey journey as well. I've made the baby Della and I thought the pattern was great!. I used premier Basix chenille brights and they are actually quite small but I think they are perfect for newborns... I contacted the designer and asked if she was going to be releasing a cow and she said yes in the Spring. I really like the way she does the head right into the body. I tried a dog pattern by someone else and you had to stitch the head on later. Not a fan of that. I'm hoping she will do more as I really do like her style.....

I like the method of working down for attaching but agree that the legs get a bit tangly.. I’d love to see how you go working up instead.

    Hi Heather,
    I think you did a fantastic job on all your eyes!! Really nice. 👀 I have the Mamamade minis book and like you, struggled with the terminology. Now I know to count the stitch count out first to be sure I end up with what the row should be. I spent too much time ripping out at first. But all your loveys are just as sweet as can be. ❤
    I don’t sell, so can’t help with pricing. Awestruck Crochet makes loveys so that could be a good source for pricing.
    I made the Myrtle the turtle after watching a recent video of yours, but mine did not come out with that nice ridge around the shell. How do you get that?
    Also, The Friendly Red Fox has free lovey patterns. I haven’t made any, but you may want to look at them for ideas.
