    Marsha, darlin', thanks for the mention! And oh my goodness, you are adorable in that hat! It's such a great look - beanie, glasses, tresses over the shoulder! Plus the overalls! I wish you could hear this in my Grandmother's voice - "How cute you look!" (Of course, I'm partial 🤓😂) I'm loving learning about loveys from you! I can see why you have an affinity for making them. 💓💞💕

    I agree, not all blanket yarn is made the same... definitely love the softer, silkier ones. 😊💕

    I don't use blanket yarn much, but I do love seeing projects made with it so much! Definitely nice to know your tips for it! Looking forward to the fall Collab 🤗

    I’ve never used blanket yarn, but I’ve started collecting the Premier Chenille from the Dollar.25 Tree. I’ve purchased some Bernat Velvet yarn. I’m loving those lovies you made. We don’t have grandkids yet, but I may make some to donate.

    Enjoyed your video again 🌸 I don't use velvet/chenille yarn a lot, but they are for sure not all the same. I think I will always prefer cotton or acrylic to the blanket type yarn, but will use it every now and then.
    I'm looking forward to the Fall collab 🥳

      Thank you!! I change up yarn often, and I’m learning to love cotton since I've tried other brands! 🥰

    I am reassured that you didn't make all those loveys in a short time! Beginning to think you had some Crochet Elves helping you.
    Love your hat! You look great. Thanks for the input about blanket yarn.😊

    I just bought thier pattern book and im in love! it isnt expensive and it is great quality. i expected a flimsy thing. but they give you photos and directions for everything.

    I understand your frustration. All the blanket type yarns are different and you have to just plan to the changes. I use a resin hook and it will be no bigger than a 7mm just in case the yarn changes from skein to skein on me.

    What pattern did you use for the cute pink dress on your little mouse lovey? Love it! Also what was the book you paired with it. Thanks!

      Hello! Thank you! I used the Mamma Made Minis Maeve Mouse Pattern and did the pink color change on the second row ( I think ) of the body and when I got to where I wanted the ruffle I crocheted in the back loops so I could go back and used those front loops to build the skirt. I went back and added the straps and collar for the dress with needle and yarn. The book was Angelina Ballerina.💖🥰

    What is easier to use? Clover plastic or Clover Armour aluminum? Why would someone want one over the other?

    • @MimiMakesKeepsakes
      @MimiMakesKeepsakes  Місяць тому +1

      I prefer the aluminum. I have used the clover plastic for larger hook sizes because they don’t have them in aluminum. I think it’s 6mm and up.

      Hello!! When I started crocheting, I watched a lot of tutorials and found what worked for me. It took me a while before I began to read patterns. I will try to get a beginner tutorial video out soon! Don't give up. I am trying to learn to knit.

    I have washed stuffies in a lingerie bag, on gentle, and lay flat to dry. I have not had a problem doing that.

    Bernat changed their formula for blanket yarn. All blanket yarn is not the same. You have an older formula for your brown that you are struggling with. 😊

    Baby yarn just means it went through more safety (chemical) testing. It doesn’t refer to the yarn thickness and such.
