In this video I share the new Amigurumi I made. Cassandra from Craftably Ever After, started a Whimsical Stitches World Tour...I am sharing the some of the projects I made from that book.
I also went to her Etsy Shop and purchased a pattern, and made that pattern too!

So glad you are participating in the world tour. My friend Trudy in England and I are
Doing it together (we met through one of your yarn swaps) . I am in Virginia Beach. ONLy 1 American has chosen a pattern so far! I wonder if it is because our postal
Service is
Slower?
Using scraps is
Perfect. I am using my scraps
For
The
Last time. I am
Sick to death of them!!! I will mail them
Off to a young woman in California who uses them to make garments for her crochet business.
Thanks for the video! (Kareb)
Oh… I have been donating all my shawls to a Catholic Church that has a prayer Shawl ministry!!! I was so excited to learn of this. I felt like what a perfect donation. I sorted them into fiber and left them at their church and now as I make them because I like making them I always know where I’m going to donate it and that it will be loved and used in such a, divine way no pun intended. I’m going to post a picture of all of them that I donated in your Facebook group to let you know how I control my stack had become.
All of your amigurumi characters are so cute, the bear is my favorite. Fun way to use up scrap yarn. 🧶💜🙏🏻
All of your makes are cute but The jellyfish is bloody adorable and cute 🪼🪼🪼
Your projects r cute,I love the bear,I found a place to donate the shawls and blankets,they don't ask for it any special way,I did research on places near me and asked my doctors office,have a nice day
I think scraps for amigurumi is great, that's what I prefer to use. The foods are cute even without faces. I need to make that pie for the grand-kids' food drawer. The turtle head will go on better and be more stable and secure if it's turned the other direction...as in...start or stop end toward the body. Foam roller in the neck...great tip! I like specific eye placement as well.
I bought this book years ago when you got your copy. I'm with you on the eye placement deal. All good things on your crochet front 😊🧶💚
Hi summer, your arigurumis are fantastic! You have done a good job!. All toys are awesome, it would be hard to choose a favourite. Go you!. Keep doing your toys! They are fantastic!. Mandy uk 🇬🇧 xxx😊
Girl, you crochet quickly!! I really need to make a whale. 🐳 All of your makes are darling!
I’ve made 10 blankets to send to Boggy Creek camp this year. I’m on disability, so making blankets for charity gives me a small purpose. Just a thought if you get tired of amigirumi.😊
haha, I am on the opposite side. I was making tons of baby blankets for a low income new born charity, and kind of fizzled out on that. Now I am making the little toys!
Hi Summer you’re so creative with those amigurumi maybe you could make oodles of backpack buddies or pencil holder/makeup bag things people/kids would love to get them!!!!
I have thought of doing that...for the class instead of hats or in the prize bin.
Hello Summer ❤ I'm so excited that you have joined the ami world tour! Can't wait to also add your macaron and pie to the journal. The US book has only been with 1 person so far, and I really hope it will get moving soon (I do know about the delay, but luckily the European book has kept things going 😊)
My mouse pattern is being tested at the moment, so I still only have the 1 bear pattern on my Etsy 😅 But you did a fabulous job on the bear! And I love that you're only using scrap yarn.
I think I am permanently on my amigurumi phase, and almost none of my amis go to children (I regularly gift to colleagues, friends, family...all adults 😂)
Hi Summer. Your makes are so cute! The plastic canvas is a great idea. I've used cut up pieces from lids from margarine containers before, but the canvas would be better. I think it was Cassandra that said she puts a bunch of her amigurumi in a basket and takes them to work. Anyone can take one. Perhaps put some in the school office. For the smaller ones, you could add a key ring and call them back pack buddies, for your classroom bin. We all enjoy watching what you make. I just got that book, and hope to be able to make some things for my craft fair event in August. My once a year thing. Have a great weekend😀
I like the idea of adding the key ring to some of them for backpack buddies...then I can put them in the prize bin at schooL
Love the amigurumi. Great idea to use up your scrap balls. They are really taking over here.🤷♀️
Summer I love all your cute amigurm. Have a great day and happy crocheting.♥️
I’m impressed with your scrap amigurumis! They turned out so cute! I’ve made probably 5 amigurumis over the past 2 years. I have to say that making them isn’t my favorite thing to crochet. They are so tedious to make due to having to be so precise with your stitch count. But the recipients really loved them, so I guess that’s all that matters!😉

I’ve made the macarons from this book. The projects are fun and uncomplicated. Great book.
Summer the bear is adorable!! I love it!
Your amigrurumis are so adorable. The bear is so cute.
Summer - I love love love your bear❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yep I get that. I have a mountain of yarn, lost my crojo and don’t want to make things for no purpose… but I still love the videos etc and maybe soon I’ll pick it up again. Love your bear ❤
All your amis are adorable. That bear is so cute!
Hi Summer I enjoyed seeing all your amigurumi s , hope you find your right spot to fill from ! I'm hoping to try and knit socks ! We will see ! Kaye x
I enjoyed ALL your loveys!! You matched them really well!! I am going to check out some of those stitches on the washcloths!! Hugs!!
-I'm #17 on the US book tour - patiently waiting in northern MN.
-I made the rainbow bear in light turquoise and didn't like the heart on the nose so omitted.
-When I winter in AZ, I donate items of various sizes to Partnership with Native Americans which distributes to reservations in the southwestern states. There may be something similar near you
-I also crochet items for future grandkids.
I winter in AZ too (FountainHills)! I sometimes go to a Hooks and Needles group and they donate to groups including Native Americans.
I am on the list for the World Tour as well. I live in the South East corner of MN.
@@freidasweigart975I will be sending the book to you when I'm done.
@@grandmamn4263 cool beans!!!
I am bummed I didn't get into the tour, but I am not going to cry about it!
I think the heart on the nose, makes it look a little like a pig nose (haha). It's cute though. I might make another, however I completely caught up in a surpising project...which I will make a video about later ;-)
You’ve been busy. Your ammis are so cute.
I got tired of making hats and blankets, too. No one wants them. I love making amigurumi 🤗🤗🤗
Summer, nice work! Remind me of what pattern and where to get it for the two bunnies on your chair behind you. Please and thank you. 😊 😊
The pattern was part of a crochet kit. If you use DK yarn, it makes a little toy. I made it in Bernat Blanket yarn and it is huge!

Hi Summer, I like to use sheet protectors to put my patterns in. That way I can store them in a binder when I’m finished with my project.
I do that too. But the ones I use the most I laminate, and I still hole punch them and put them in a binder.
Love your amigurumis!
Hi Summer, first time viewer here. I’m also doing the world amigurumi tour! Although I too had the book already, I’ll be receiving it in the post and am one of the last International crocheters to receive it (in Australia 🇦🇺). I also like the fact that it gives me something to focus on when I’m overwhelmed and don’t know what to crochet! I also love Cassandra and her videos 😊 Jenni ~ new sub 😉
Hello! I can't wait to see what you make!
I knew you were going to break out the plastic canvas. I do the same thing :).
I understand
I have the same book. I have made, whale, turtle, pig, cow, and cookie. I make more cows. What if you put your desk in front of your yarn wall. I enjoyed your video.
I agree and the lighting was not so good! I love watching you and all you create!!
I’m still practicing with stuffing and shaping faces.
I made the pig..eyes are in a strange place..but it turned out nice …Australian
Hi Summer
Do you have a pregnancy center near you? They might love getting baby blankets and sweaters from you.
Summer, love watching your channel, and all you do. i dont't know if you will see this; i need some help i am a market vendor or if any one else could help. But here it goes yesterday at a market .. I had a lady a had ask me to teach her girl scout group of possible (10) to learn to crochet. I have never done any thing like this before. I tired to email you, but it keeps kicking the email back.thank you for your time Deb Morgan
I am sorry I kept putting it off. I do have some pointers for you. When I first started I let girls 9-12 be in the club. I will say though most of the 9 and 10 year olds really struggled. I didn't let more than 15 girls in the club at a time, and I had two helpers (who knew the basics of crochet).
For the new kids I used worsted and bulky weight yarn. The smallest hooks I had were Hs (5mm). but I most of them I had on 6.5mm and 6.0mm
The first day we changed. I even had contests to help them change (with prizes) 1) who could make a chain of 50 first. and 2) Who can chain the longest in 40 seconds.
Once everyone was good at chaining we spend to lessons working on single crochets and slip stitches. Most of the girls never got past a half double crochet.
We made scraps and hats. So they only had to do straight rows.
I hope this helps.
@SummersTipsandStitches thank you summer. This helps me a lot, i am doing this solo. Also adult's are wanting to learn as well
Oh Summer. Is the gray color that you are knitting the hat in I Love This Yarn. Sandy Gray? It’s been discontinued by Hobby Lobby and I need 1 skein, maybe a1/2 would do. Would be so willing to pay whatever you ask if you any. TIA
it's not Sandy Grey...it has yellow, pink, and orange flecks in it.
If it was Sandy Grey I would have sent you the rest of the skein. Sorry
@@SummersTipsandStitches you are a doll! Thanks so much for answering my request even it was not what I hoped. I know it might be a bit off putting when someone who watches but never comments just comes to you out of the blue asking for a favor. Love your content!
