    Never give up Elise. I love watching your channel. Even though I am a Master Crocheter and taught Crochet for a number of years. I am now retired. I still love to knit and crochet and your enthusiasm is infectious. When I get finished with some other projects, I intend to order your Wolf Amigurumi pattern. I made the Unicorn and Dragon Amigurumi from the first book of Pica Pau. I sent them to my Grandnieces in Michigan. They were thrilled. I included my old Dance recital costumes so they could play Princesses. This all happened because you inspired me so much. Thank you for just being informative and sharing your joy.

    Wow! Such great questions from everyone! One thing I really love about crocheting (knitting, too!) is the local community of other crocheters and knitters. If you have a local yarn shop, stop in and ask about meet ups. One of my local shops has ladies in there all the time who are sitting around a table working on stuff and chatting. I've met so many cool women (and a few men) just going to random gatherings. Some stores allow you to show up any time and hang out. Also, seeing all that beautiful yarn will inspire you, I promise!

    I don't know how I missed the call for questions, but I'm disappointed I did! :( I have no idea what I would've asked, but I don't doubt I would have come up with something. I do love how you emphasized that taking a break if one needs it can be just as important as kicking yourself in the pants to get motivated. Too many people are willing to keep grinding away at things, even if the joy is gone, and they need to learn that it's important to step back sometimes and remember why they fell in love with this hobby in the first place.

    • @EliseRoseCrochet
      @EliseRoseCrochet  2 роки тому +1

I've hit many pot holes along the way this year and find myself struggling with what works and what doesn't. At the end of the day I think we all have to give ourselves some grace (which is easier said than done!) -- it's the only way to get where we're going and put our best foot forward. Thanks again for another great video.

      You're so welcome. You're right, we all go through times of discouragement. When I'm feeling that way I try to think about how far I've come in my making journey. If you had told me just a few years ago what I'd be able to make now, I would be so excited. It's amazing what we can make with our own two hands. Try to remember that when the discouragement settles in. Hugs to you. ❤️❤️❤️

    Thank you for answering my question. You made some points I hadn’t thought of. I do both knitted and crochet amigurumi. Currently I enjoy knitting more than crochet, overall, but I always have at least one project of each going.
    I, too, was a homeschool mom. My youngest graduated last year. I am still highly involved in the homeschool community as I am a homeschool evaluator (PA law requires homeschoolers to be evaluated at the end of the school year by a certified teacher.)
    My oldest daughter got engaged NYEVE midnight 2022 and married 6 weeks later Feb 12, 2022 in our home. It was a whirlwind but a wonderful day (my husband, a pastor, performed the ceremony.) They were in a hurry to be married and live 45 minutes from us. No grandbabies coming . . . Yet.
    Due to the short time between engagement and wedding, she didn’t get her knitted blanket she requested until months later. 😝
    When I watch your videos I feel like we could be friends. Thanks for putting out great content.

    Its funny about your question on burnout from the lady that had the etsy shop. That is exactly what got me to crotchet!! I own a handmade soap business that I love, but making soap is no longer a creative outlet for me like it was when I started, its business. I have always wanted to learn crotchet. My grandma used to crotchet and she taught me how to do a chain and I could make mile long chains but thats it lol. I fell in love amigurumi and i wanted to make some dolls for my grand babies for Christmas. So my journey has begun!! And I am loving your channel and all your information. Very Inspiring!!

    I alternate when I start having pain from crocheting to loom knitting. Looming, for me, uses different hand muscles so I can do it while resting from crocheting. I loom for a day or so then go back to crochet! Also- I tried different yarn weight-needle combinations to get the right ones that do not hurt but give me tight stitches! Took me awhile but dk weight with B hook is PERFECT for me.

    Hi Elise, I really enjoy watching your channel and the help you give is priceless. You are so upbeat and cheerful which brightens my day and I can tell how much you love your craft. I find getting the right yarn for a certain project can be a mine field. I’ve recently completed an amigurumi baby doll and I used a 100% cotton but I think I used wrong yarn as doll had no give when stuffing and the clothes etc I made from the included pattern to fit her were too big. I’m determined to get it right by making another one but I’m really struggling with the best yarn to use. Could you please advise me on best yarn to use for a amigurumi baby doll, she has joints and wired limbs for movement. Thank you in advance for any help and advice and your encouragement.
    Nicky

    • @EliseRoseCrochet
      @EliseRoseCrochet  2 роки тому

      Yes, cotton has very little stretch to it. You could make the clothes in a smaller size hook so that they fit better. There are soooo many good amigurumi yarns on the market. I have a lot of videos about amigurumi yarns on my channel. I also always share what yarn I'm using on a project so always check the description boxes for that information as well! Good luck! 🧶🧶🧶
