Love them all. Each has it's own personality, just beautiful. I still have my knitted toys my Grandmother made for me...over 50yrs ago. I'd love to have a go at making my own.
Your toys are amazing. I only crochet but decided to take a look at your YouTune anyway! I love to see you interact with your Amigurumi. We all regress to being that little girl with her tea set and tea party friends. I love it. All my animals make me so happy. My adult friends as well as the children all grab their favorite critter as they enter my room!.
Thanks Candace, When I started my toys I never knew how much I would come to love them, and how much my family would too. I never played with dolls as a little girl, perhaps if I had had a collection of animals I would have! They are addictive!
I thoroughly enjoyed your review of all of your knitted animal friends - they really are a friendly group, each with characters of their own! I agree with you that the face/expression is the hardest part - I often have to redo the face several times before I’m happy! xx
Pens, I LOVED ALL your knitted friends. Your creations are gorgeous and the history of each of them was so sweet. This is the 1st time I saw you; I’m now a subscriber. I recently came back to crocheting and will be crocheting amigurumis also. Thank you for sharing I throughly enjoyed; looking forward to seeing of your friends. ❤gayle
Thanks Gayle and thanks for subscribing, Can you knit or is it just crochet you do? I don't crochet as my hands don't like it. There is a playlist if you would like to enjoy more episodes.
Oh penny what adorable little knitted animals and you talk about as they are your friends so lovely, a great imagination. I wouldn’t even begin o attempt that kind of work, but have the great admiration for anyone who can understand a pattern so complex, i loved them as i am sure all your friends and family do. I always feel uplifted in my viewing of your talks, you are such an uplifting kind of person, as my friend Julie told me about you, and knew i would like you too, she was spot on, i love julie, from camelia craft designs she makes the loveliest things from such little papers and such, and they turn out so good. She is also blessed with her yorkshire sense of common sense and humour. She always makes me laugh,as you do too. I saw the photo of tommy at 14months you said, and you when you put Pete’s photo of him as a little boy, all i could see was your little tommy, so much alike, it was uncanny. Well i just about to watch more of your chinwags almost gone through so many so keep them coming penny, love pamela hall
Thanks Pamela, Have a go. They're not complicated and the patterns are wonderfully clear and instructions easy to understand. You are a dear watching my episodes and yes of course Julie is fab, her voice is in my head as I craft - 'Job's a good'un!
Absolutely charming, each and every one of them. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video and i hope to see more. I hope to pick up a pair of needles one day to try my hand at knitted amigurumis. Ive tried once before but found it intimidating. Crochet comes much more naturally to me. Thank you so much for sharing😊
Thanks for joining me, I have been bowled over by the lovely comments. I think the patterns are the success of the knitted amigurumis and the animals come to life with their own personalities. They are addictive! Enjoy your crochet.
Hi Pene, I'm so happy that you told me about your channel and recommended to watch this episode. It was a true delight! The way you talk to them and make them alive - it must be so much fun for your kids! I'm a grown up (well, technically) but I wanted to hold them and play with them. I have just started my Tsutsu bear and I know what you mean about it being fiddly. But it's well worth it, isn't it? I'm glad we got connected through Helen and I'm looking forward to more videos like this one! Cheers! Marina
Thanks so much Marina, last night I bought Cynthia's book, I couldn't resist any longer so I'm looking forward to bringing to life one of the animals. Welcome to my channel. xx
@@penelopeschinwag Thank you! I'm sure you will love the book! I have it on my lap almost every day and my girls ask me to read about the characters, they make orders on who to knit next and I love flipping through and choosing new outfits for existing animals or choosing the next adventure. Hope to see your little knitted friends soon!
This was such a fun episode. I love all of your creations but I think Charlie was my favourite. I have the knitted friends book but haven't made anything from it yet, I might have to dig it out and make some things for my niece and nephew
Charlie is everyone's favourite, including the group as he does all the messages, swinging around the place. He sits with me quietly whilst I knit though! Your niece and nephew would love them!
Omg the dancing hippos in Fantasia is one of my favorite parts of that movie!!! 💜💗💜 I can’t knit but seeing all these knitted amigurumi makes me wanted to learn!!! I Cant crochet but i really want to master knitting this year.
You inspired me, Pene, when you created George the dog, so his twin has joined our household and is a firm favourite of my grandson. No doubt he will require a friend at some stage. 21:03
Oh how lovely, I'm so pleased. I didn't imagine that would happen when I showed you my animals but I think George has quite a few friends as a result of his antics. My George loves the hedgehog but then there is Charlie the Chimp and ........ xx
Thank you Dawn @TheWovenAlmanac for suggesting Pene shows us all her amigirumi animals. They're beautiful Pene. I always love how you interact with them 😍
Thank you Penelope for a lovely introduction to all your animals. I have just found your channel and subscribed and so I am catching up with some of your past videos. I had those two books on my Amazon wish list and after watching you my husband has treated me to them for our anniversary.
That was super. They all look so professionally made. And they are hard wearing too because we see them being played with. I think my favourite is the chimp. The clothes are fabulous. Well done for taking up the challenge.
I was a bit nervous when I thought about it but it turned out to be just another episode! They have been very well played with by adults and children, everyone loves them. I would like to tell Louise, the designer how beautiful her designs are. Thanks for watching. I've still to choose the pattern you kindly gave me, just can't make my mind up!
The animal friends were a great choice for toy creating. The details in shaping in the faces and then the stunning outfits are all fabulous. I don't have a favorite because I love them all.🤗 thanks for showing them all again. It is fun to see them all together. I do love the mouse and the tsutsu bear, too.😉
Thanks Karen, they seemed such a big pile when I carried them over. Harry has told me he would like the ram next or was it .... yes, he loved them all! You're never too old!
Your knitted toys are so lovely and the attention to detail is so clever. The little carrots on the cardigan and the pattern in the knickers are so pretty. Just loved to meet them all. xx
Thank you. I think the design of the animals is superb. And it amazes me how they come to life. Charlie definitely didn't want a jazzy cardigan! I too adored the carrots on the cardigan, which is why she was my first to knit. It suits her but the others have tried it on and not really a success!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. Your friends are truly charming. Salam wa sa’aadah
What fun meeting all your amigurumi children! ❤
Thanks Murielle, they do get up to mischief!
Love them all. Each has it's own personality, just beautiful. I still have my knitted toys my Grandmother made for me...over 50yrs ago. I'd love to have a go at making my own.
Have a go Raewyn, they will become heirlooms too. Fascinating to knit and it's fun to get to know them as they appear with each new row.
@@penelopeschinwag I just may do that...I'll start with something little

@@penelopeschinwag Thank you, Pene, I’m on the mend now! x
All your knitted toys are just so cute and cuddly!!
Thanks, everyone loves them, Charlie seems to take everyone's eye but they are all great in their own way. xx
@@penelopeschinwag they’re all amazing
Very enjoyable. Thank you
It was fun sharing. xx
Thanks so much for joining in Pene, all your animals are so adorable 😍🥰
Well thanks Dawn for nominating me, I never knew I could do amigurumi, let alone spell it! Regarding the pattern I will have a look soon!, Thanks.
I love them all, Pene! 🥰
Thanks, so do I!
So cute 😍
They are!
Enjoyed meeting the animal family again. X
Thanks Angela, they're just settling down after being thrown in a heap and then expected to show themselves at their best!

@@penelopeschinwag thank you!!!
I love all your animals so very adorable
Thanks Karol, they are so well designed and so adorable as you say.
So cute! Thanks for sharing, I have made some of the little cotton rabbit animals and love them. I have just started my first wild animal the slothe.
OOh you'll love him, a quiet boy!
You inspired me, Pene, when you created George the dog, so his twin has joined our household and is a firm favourite of my grandson. No doubt he will require a friend at some stage. 21:03

Thanks for joining me. You won't be disappointed with the books I'm sure. x
Loved seeing all your beautiful characters again....I love knitting and crocheting toys for my grandkids...(and a few for myself!!) 🥰
It does become addictive! Very well loved by your grandchildren I'm sure - treasures.

Your little friends are all so beautiful and beautifully put together, each with their own personality. I tried to choose a favourite, but couldn’t.
Just as we love our own families, Deborah!
Your group of friends are just beautiful. I can tell they bring you great joy!😊. Thank you for your podcast. All the best! Sheila
Thanks Sheila, It's amazing what you can do with wool isn't it - make garments and animals!
