I agree with others. I have had no desire to make a dragon until I saw yours. Nicely done! I’m prepping for first market so didn’t apply for tester but I hope you do some more calls for other patterns through UA-cam. Congrats! I think you have a real hit on your hands.
Thank you so much!!
Oh Robin, WOW! Your dragon is just PERFECT!🥰 *swoon 😍😍😍 Im clapping over here in excitement 👏👏😁😂💕💕💕💕💕
Yay! Thank you! that means a lot to me!
I’m glad you finally got the Genna dragon pattern figured out!! I love the way your mind works through things! How many people bought it and gave up because it wasn’t working? Now, I still love your version you did with the purple dragon you showed last video. Your new dragon pattern is amazing!! First I’ve seen of an upright style! Your color combos are always on point too! I agree that IG testing is nearly impossible to get picked for. Especially for those that have smaller accounts or are just starting out. Do you enjoy working with the Little Bunny? I’m trying to pick a fur yarn that isn’t super fuzzy so that it’s hard to work with, but fuzzy enough to make it worth changing yarns. 😂😂
I've only used Little Bunny the one time so far and I liked it. I think for a bigger item you might need to double up but other than that I think it worked well.
Wooohooo you go girl! Your dragons are absolutely amazing! I am so excited for the pattern. I have all your patterns and can't wait to add this to my collection. I know my 3 grandsons are going to love the dragons I make for them.Thank you for all the hard work you put into your patterns. I really enjoy them.
Thanks Kathi! 🥰
Oh my, what a beautiful dragon….well done! I’m so looking forward to your pattern coming out.
Thank you! 🥰
Wow! Your dragon is amazing. Watching you figure out what works in patterns and what doesn’t is very cool. She’s a pattern designer in the making. When people see my projects and tell me that i am so talented, i say it’s not me, it’s the pattern designer.
It's only half the designer the other half is the makers execution of the pattern. Take the credit!! 🥰
Robin, I just absolutely love your dragon. I have to say I think yours is the best I've seen so far. Such wonderful hard work you have done. Very pretty colors. You are my absolute favorite one to watch. also look for Heather and Sue's videos. You all are great!
Thanks Deanna!
Thanks Deanna :)
Being 100% honest, I love your dragon and it is the first one I have ever seen that I actually want to make!! He looks very sweet while some dragons look downright scary. Terrific job!!🙌🏼❤
Thank you! 😊
What a unique way to announce a tester call! I can’t wait to give him a try!! 🦋💖
You know me I have to be different 😂
This is so exciting! Your Dragon came out amazing! Great job Robin.❤
Thanks so much! 😊 I am very excited about this one!!
❤️🖤 OOH, I love the Red and Black dragon. I'll need that pattern. Julie 💜
Thank you!
I will not request to be a pattern tester, but wanted to send a "good vibes" comment. That dragon looks amazing and congrats on the pattern.
Oh thank you!
I'm so in love with your dragon. I basically use just #4 weight! I would love to do one in that weight.
Hello. Thank you for sharing your beautiful dragons. I can't wait to see who is up being a tester.
Me too!
What an adorable dragon! You do incredible work developing patterns, Robin. 😊 I also appreciate the unique way you're approaching the pattern tester call. I tried emailing an application.
Thank you! 😊
@@KnottingHookCrochet You’re welcome! ☺️
You made a beautiful dragon. Wish I had time to test it. I have to do volunteer for epilepsy camp next weekend. But maybe next time. Love the way you are doing the test call! 👍
Thank you!
Looking at your live at the moment you inspire me. I live in Ontario and started doing markets myself
Markets can be really fun!
I absolutely LOVE your dragon! It's gorgeous! Lovely work!
Thank you so much!
Your final dragon is perfect.
Thank you!
Your dragon is beautiful. My daughter would absolutely love that blue one.! can’t wait to see your final pattern
❤❤
Thank you! 😊
The smaller dragon could be a baby one. The blue dragon is fantastic.
Thats a good Idea!
Very beautiful! I can't read a pattern, because I learn by demonstration. Hopefully one day I will be able to crochet like you!
Thank you! 😊
I love how you are reaching out to help folks who are struggling to become testers ❤. Btw put the sand in a double ziplock baggie so it doesn’t leak out the pores of your bags.
Thanks so much! That is a great idea!!
I would love love love to test your dragon!!!! It’s so unique and different! ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Robin, I am asking to be a tester BUT I definitely will be among the first to purchase the pattern!!!! My husband handle is YellowDragon and NEED this one for him! LOL Im soon to be 69 and he is 76!
Thats cool, Make him one in yellows!
I'm delighted to have stumbled upon your channel. I find myself doing more and more amigurumi than usual lately. I'll be around!
Welcome to the channel!🥰
Your dragon IS fabulous! I am very new at this -- only made two things so far -- and you inspire me to keep going! 😀
Wonderful!
I tried to make Genna's dragon too after I seen it on your channel and I had to completely fudge it. I do my decreases like you do too so that is probably one of the problems. I am a loose crocheter and am a yarn over girl and always have to adjust bobbles a little bit but I was off almost a whole round! It took me about 6 hours to finish and I'm not sure it's worth the frustration with fiddling. It still turned out cute, albiet wonky! All of yours came out adorable!! I LOVE your own dragon!! I can't wait for the pattern to come out!! Blessings!
The decreases are a huge part of the problem and I did need to relax my tension some.
Hi Robin, love watching all your sharings. Wish there are more like you who considers giving a chance to crochet artists who have been trying to apply for pattern testing. I hope to be able to make it next round for pattern testing as this time will be busy preparing for 2 big markets. Love your dragons and thank you so so much for being so kind ❤ Do consider market friendly patterns for your next creation😉
Good luck on your up and coming markets!
@@KnottingHookCrochet Thank you! All the best to you too on your new pattern! Congrats!
The dragon is adorable. Thanks for the tips on the other one. I purchased the pattern when it was released and have not tried it yet.
I hope it helps with it.
That dragon is amazing! I love that it's standing and has wider feet. That's great for little ones to play with! How you're choosing testers is great. I appreciate that you're trying to give others a chance because getting chosen on IG is definitely difficult!
OMG, being selected on IG is almost impossible and can be very disappointing!
This looks amazing! This is the kind of dragon pattern I've been looking for! I just started learning to crochet and I've only completed one project so far. I wish I had the yarn to apply for the tester call.
Thank you! 🥰
Wow wow your dragons are beautiful you do beautiful work love them ❤
Thank you Connie!🥰
Omg your dragon design is amazing! I don't have time to be a tester but I will definitely be buying it when it comes out and make it when I have the time.
Thanks Zesha!
Totally agree....that red dragon 🐉 is "fabulous " 🎉🎉 Good luck with your pattern 😀
Thank you! 😊 the red one is my favorite so far!!
I'm so excited about this one. He's adorable! 😍
Me too! It was a big thought process but totally worth it!
Thank you for letting us know about the way she does her decrease I just made this plushie with her pattern and I had such a hard time because nothing was lining up. I’ll try again with her decrease way and see how it goes.
Mine wasn't either. I think it's so cute I wanted it to work for me so I was on a quest!!
Absolutely love the red one. The colour is just wow.
It's my favorite too!
So far this is the most realistic dragon that I've seen! Excellent job! You're definitely a very kind hearted person for picking testers this way, instagram has changed so much that I actually hate being on it now! Can't wait for your pattern release! 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you so much! This was a labor of love making this dragon and was very hard to keep it a secret!
Good for you! Your many dragons are fantastic especially with the different yarn choices. Personally, I prefer smaller items with RHSS instead of frizzy parfait. Just finished a gorilla and now making 12” squares with duck filet design. Nice change of pace, until I saw a pattern for an American eagle! Must finish legs and feet with talons! A new challenge for me. Can’t wait to hear from your testers and final pattern. Keep up your wonderful work to inspire us all!
The testers are hard at work some have finished and they look awesome! I’m excited!!
Gorgeous dragons! I wish I were good enough to be a tester for you! Good luck. Hugs!
Fingers crossed!
I just love your dragon. YOU DO EVERYTHING SO BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you!🥰
Love the red dragon....looking forward to the pattern release....sadly i dont have time right to try and pattern test, ive never done it before seems like fun....hopefully one day in the near future 😊
It is fun to be a tester, just hard to get picked.
Your new dragon is so very cute! Good job on creating him and all the work you put into creating the pattern!
Thanks!🥰
Thanks for sending me the Amazon link for the eyes
No problem!!
Hey Robin, I absolutely love your dragon! I do not have a dragon pattern that I like for market prep. Can’t wait to try yours! Excited to see how you do with an outdoor market. It has been years since I’ve done an indoor market. They have not been as profitable as my outdoor. Now, I’m in Pennsylvania and the weather is not at all like you have in Florida. However, I do my markets in spring and fall, so not quite as hot and humid.
Thanks Bonnie! It's always hot and humid here 😂
I am impressed! Can't wait to see how the testers do 😊
Me too! Thank you!!
Excellent pattern development. Love your dragons. 🐲🐉
Thanks Nancy!!
Yes Love this dragon....❤❤❤😊
Thank you!
I’m in love with your dragon. I look forward to the pattern release. Best wishes finding your pattern testers. I love how you’re choosing both methods of yarn-over and yarn-under. You’re a smart cookie!
Thank you!! I'm excited to see every ones makes and it will be hard to choose the testers.
YAY!!! YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!! THAT DRAGON 😂❤
Thank you for your videos, so helpful ❤
Thanks! 🥰
Congrats on your new pattern, your dragon looks awesome 🎉🎉
Thank you!! 😊It was a fun and trying process!
Just applied love your version and the no bobble
No bobbles is the best 😂
Omg, love your dragon❤ the RED is WoW
Would love to be a pattern tester
The red one is my fav so far!
It looks great!! Your embroidery looks amazing, I’m still struggling with that.
Thank you! 😊I still struggle too 😂
Love, love all your work!! It’s all beautiful,,, ❤️🌼
thank you Nadine!
I would love to test the pattern. This is sooo cute!!
Oh I’m so excited for you that dragon is amazing 🤩 ❤ I can’t wait for the release I will definitely be purchasing ❤❤. Good luck to everyone who applies 😊 Have a wonderful Crocheting 🧶 Day ❤
Thanks Nancy!!
I love your color choices
Thanks Cindy!🥰
Love your dragon! Congratulations! Wish I could apply to be a tester but I have 2 markets coming up I have to prepare for and just wouldn’t have time to test.
Thank you! It's fine, I don't want to stop anyone's prep. Best of luck coming your way for your markets!
I'm waiting for genna to release the dragon pattern on her patreon but definitely good to know changing to the way she does her decreases will help! Your pattern looks AMAZING!
Thanks!! It definitely helped.
I would have love to test for you but because I work full time I don’t like I could get it made. So I’ll just wait and buy the pattern! 😆Good Luck! It looks amazing! And I’m glad to hear what I need to know about Crochet by Gemma’s dragon.
Glad I could help with that one!
Beautiful. I love this. I’m not ready in my crochet skills to be a tester as a beginner with crochet amigurumi. It’s my goal one day to get good enough to do a pattern test. Love your work.
It won't take you long to build the confidence! You will be there sooner than you think!
I'm not good at feedback but can't wait for the pattern to come out ❤❤❤
I'm not to good at either.
I'd love to have put myself forward for this! I've never tested before though & I'm on holiday and only bought a few random skeins for smaller projects :'( absolutely love how it turned out though.
Enjoy your Holiday!
Cornflower blue was the color of the pern dragon I used to play in a Pern themed game. I really like the way the tail on this dragon curves vs the other. I also REALLY prefer horn nubs to the weird ones in that other pattern.
(I also prefer the dark blue "ridge" to the fuzzy line on the back)
The horns on the red one looks silver and is striking.
That part would be the makers choice. I do like how the blues went together!
Your dragon turned out so good!!! How I wish I had spare time to test for you, but I have 2 back to back markets I need to prep for...maybe I will get a chance to test for you on your next project! ❤
I understand completely, I don't want to interfere with anyone's market prep!
Thank you so much for trying with the dragon pattern, very helpfull!
You're very welcome! For me it was a challenge that I need to win 😂
@@KnottingHookCrochet at your first video I thought, that pattern is not for me but now I feel confident enough to try it, it is so cute! I also love your dragon pattern and am thinking about applying for testing....
Great job Robin, they are gorgeous!! I love the blue one!! Crafty Sue and Heather are great choices, I follow their channels also. Stacy Makes is also a great pattern tester... Yarn and Whimsy is also another great pattern tester! She will definitely give you feedback on every detail of your pattern. I don't know either one of these ladies personally, just a fan of their channels!! Cannot wait til the pattern becomes available!
Thank you! I would Love to have Karen, I love her channel!!
OMG I LOVE YOUR DRAGON!!! It is so freaking cute!!! 🧡 I look forward to making one. Or twelve ☺️
Isn't he! I just love how it worked out!!
@@KnottingHookCrochet You are so gifted! And tenacious. I appreciate the time and supplies (and swear words) it took to figure out Gena's pattern too. You saved me from wallowing when I get to that one 😁
Beautiful Dragon!
Thank you!
It was nice to find this video as I am currently making different dragons for a fundraiser here in Maryland. I had a little bit of deviation to them because we call our dragons SnallyGasters. And snallygaster need to look a little scary. Although I think mine just look happy and cute.
I also don’t use the puffy yarn to make many projects which I should use because I think it would definitely move along my projects a lot faster
I glad you found it! I bet all the dragon variations are amazing all together!
That is beautiful. I would love to test this this guy.
Thank you!
Nice colour combo on the last 😂 dragon 🐉
I already want to buy your pattern!
Thanks Michelle!
Absolutely love your dragon
Thank you!
the dragon is so darn cute
Thanks!😊
Love this pattern. Can’t wait to get it. Would love to be one of your testers unfortunately this week I’m too short on time.
Thank you!
I love your dragon!!!
Thank you!!🥰
The dragons are so cute
Thanks!!
Can wait to make your dragon!!
Omg I love your dragon ❤ u keep showing all the dragons and now I want to make dragons 😆
Omg! it is so addictive 😂
@@KnottingHookCrochet omg I love it 😀
Will you please include the link to the eyes you ordered from Amazon? Thanks and your videos are great
These are the eyes I ordered amzn.to/446azqR
I love that orange and green dragon. Why the last time mentioning? I love them!
Mentioning the struggles to make the pattern work.
What a great pattern. Love to test it, but I don't have an instagram account. Can't wait to see all of the dragons. 🐉
The IG account is just for a group chat it's faster than waiting for email replies and speeds up the process.
I would love to be a tester! I ADORE your pig pattern!!
Thanks! did you send an email?
@@KnottingHookCrochet I am afraid I wouldn't be able to get it done in a week. I am SURE I will buy the pattern though!
Hi! I am a new subscriber. I saw your video about your stolen dragon pattern. I don't have a clue which Jenna or which video I need to watch! Lol I do Celtic cables, mosaics, Irish lace mostly. But I do many crochet patterns if their interest me.your patterns interest me!!! I just bought your sheep blankie pattern along with 3 others. But I'm ordering yarns. And I want to see if I do my invisible decreases the way you suggest. And so sorry my confusion is setting in hard. I'm sleepy. I had a stroke couple years ago. The confusion was something I was left with. Its normally adaptable but not if pain is high or stress or sleepy.
This is the video that you can see how she does it. It is not what 99% of designers call an invisible decrease. What she is doing is 2 single crochets together in the front loops only.
Gennas video: ua-cam.com/video/2qgpLqoo_qU/v-deo.html
The most commonly used way by most designers: ua-cam.com/video/TsIsuh54kCA/v-deo.html
That dragon is gorgeous! I would join the tester but life is a bit too crazy atm
Oh I get it! Real life comes first!
Hello! I love your prototypes!
Could you please tell me who has the dragon tutorial (the one you showed first? )on UA-cam?
It wasn't a youtube tutorial, it is a paid pattern by CrochetByGenna
@@KnottingHookCrochet thank you so much!
Any wait for the pattern
Your dragon is beautiful ❤
Thank you!🥰
@@KnottingHookCrochet 💜
This pattern is adorable!! I can't wait to make it when it comes out. Have testers already been selected?
Yes they have and I’m so excited to see their work!
Beautiful dragon I would like to test but I am worried about the time crunch.
It's 6 days and its not that big.
Wow 🤩 beautiful dragons
Yes, thanks
Email sent. Looking forward to your new pattern.
Oh shoot I missed out on being a tester. I’ve been crocheting for 14 years, I yarn under and have never been a pattern tester.
What did you do for the face stitch on gennas dragon?
On the round where the 3stitch increase it says to do 7 sc before them I had to do 6 sc to get the 3 stitch increase to fall between the nose bobbles. Then I moved my stitch marker back by one stitch (start of round) to get the rest of the stitches to line up.
Tester call fail for me because of that IG I just cannot get! I will patiently await pattern release instead
Awesome design Robin, I’m so intrigued! Email sent 🎉
Yay! Thank you!
I am yarn over
