I wish I had had Crochet You when my child was a child. As she went through her therapies and surgeries, it would have been nice to have made this doll. As it was, we adapted a commerical doll that had her issues. It worked, but the crochet one would have been more personal.
As a non-native speaker of English, I am now smugly congratulating myself on noticing that the first syllable of "chimera" should actually sound like "K + eye". Yes, I'm absolutely insufferable and will see myself out. The books are beautiful and I love your videos.
Kitsune as well but I find it adorable the way Elise pronounced it and also it’s a Japanese word. I’m constantly learning new words in other languages when trying new cooking recipes.
Elise, I just got into Crocheting and I am so thankful for your channel! I’m a lawyer by day and finding crochet has been such a joy for me, because it helps me to unwind and “zone out.” My eldest leaves for college this fall and I want to make him a blanket with the college logo on it. I hope I am good enough by then! 😂 Thank you again! ❤
This is such an interesting channel for all of us... you've found a way to entertain those of us that are "veterans" as well as the "newbies"... keep up the great work! PS... careful with the tiny hooks and thread... they are not "good for the hands"... Hugs, GrammaBabs
Omg I so look forward to your videos because u bring a sparkles of happiness and excitement every time without fail. ✨️😁 I must say I have never tried Amigarumi still because it seems too advanced for me but I love how u made Charlie the Platypus❤ not only because he is gorgeous but I'm Australian and my eldest son has been obsessed with Platypus since he was tiny. He is Autistic and has always loved how Platypus were weird and different, just like him and he is in his 30's now and he will still tell u a Platypus is his favourite animal in the entire world.💗🙏 🇦🇺🧶
I love the platapuse--so cute!! Thank you for the great book review, I have several I will be saving up for. I did enter the contest because to win would be wonderful. What a lovely thing to do. Take care.. sending love,hugs,prayers.
I would love to win the book, I just bought my first amigurumi book the other day, and my daughter wants the kitsune and Nessie (I forgot what she is lol) but I love your videos, they are amazing
I must ask where you found the digital knitting rooms that have inspired me ever since the 10 Mindless Projects episode. I keep going back to look at them. Thank you!!!
Thank you! I created them in AI, but I won't be doing that again because several people shared how problematic that is. But I thought they were pretty too! 🧶🧶🧶
OMG, I I have a couple of these books and can't wait to finish the 8 WIP's I already have going to start some. I have been checking books out of the library to see which books I want to purchase. I fell in love with the Dress Up Amigurumi and had to buy it. I also purchased the Enchanted Woodland Amigurumi and Amigurumi Treasures 2. I just ordered the Crochet Impkins. I haven't been able to find it at the library and I am so thankful you showed this book. I actually have the Crochet Furry Friends checked out right now. Thank you for this video. Love your content.
Love your review. I love crochet you book. I thought it was a wonderful way to represent an under represented group. I'm going to check out a couple of others you suggested as well.
You used to have a free pattern for snoopy from the peanuts gang have you still govt the pattern and if so could you please put the pattern out again as I am having trouble with the feet please
What a great video! I’ll be picking up a couple of these! And actually, when you were flipping through Crochet You and said there was a doll with hearing aids, I immediately paused the video and ordered it off Amazon! My 7 year daughter has had hearing aids for the past couple years. And I also work for a non profit here in Canada for kiddos with all types of disabilities! I see many of the kids represented in this book! It’s amazing! Thank you for adding this book to your list! 😊
I normally try to stay away from crocheting books because I always end up having 3-4 of them that I buy, don't find the time to start a new project, and end up getting a new one but I might have to splurge and get the Unicorns, Dragons, and More Fantasy book 😱That Kitsune pattern and the Kaken are SO CUTE !!
That Burberry the sheep from Amigurumi Treasures takes approximately forever to do, but he sure turns out cute! She has a neat chart that shows what accessories fit which animals - very handy. I’ve made several in the book.
I own enough amigurumi books to have patterns for a lifetime--or two--but as soon as I saw your review of Crochet Impkins I realized I "needed" it; soooo cute! Thanks for another great video 🧡
Hi Elise, I received the Amigurumi Treasures book and love it. Having trouble finding the DMC Natura Cotton in Ombré 39. Could you tell me what yarn and colors you used. I did order Ming the Kitten yarn in DMC, I just wanted to try the yarn.
I bought the Knitting Peter Rabbit...haven't made anything yet, but it is a gorgeous book!! I made Clare Garland's beginner bunny and even crocheted a little sweater for him! Elise, I love your channel. Your videos and story telling is superb. As a newer knitter and crocheter, you inspire to keep at it and I love making toys b/c they seem projects I can finish easier than say a blanket. Thanks for what you do!!
Hi, Elise! I love Peter Rabbit and had to buy that knitting book! Though, I'm quite intimidated by it. Like any mochi- mochi (knitted toy) books, but I keep buying them in hopes to make them someday. 😊 I just recently found the other knitted books on Amazon and immediately put them on my Wish List! Thanks for sharing this video!!
Hi Elise! These are beautiful books. I don't knit, wellll, nothing more than a square lol but those books are just beautiful. Love the reviews. I just purchased your not so little pigs pattern from Etsy, just waiting on my hands a wrists to hopefully start feeling better soon. I'm being optimistic...Lord willing. Thank you again.
Thanks for the share❤❤❤❤🧶🧶🧶🧶I wanted to let you know of a sweet woman who does Amigurumis with 2 thumbs and a pinky. @Llama Mama Kayla she quirky and funny. But I know she loves Amigurumi and so I thought of you and you love it. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks to your channel I’ve been able to learn how to crochet! My latest project was a super large turtle made using Hobby Lobby’s Eternal Bliss yarn (the turtle is bigger than my mini dachshund!) All these books look so interesting, I feel like I’m going to end up spending all my money on crochet stuff!
I have several of these books already! 'Crochet Me' is rapidly becoming my favorite. I just made a doll for a 22 yr old young lady that lost her leg in a car accident. I'll give it to her this weekend. I hope she loves it. I made a "Pat" doll. Generic clothes and curly hair. The child can decide if Pat is a girl or a boy simply by having mom add a bow or barrette.
I love Megan Lapp's other book with patterns for mythical creatures like dragons, phoenixes, krakens, etc. (I can't remember the name right now) I've made 4 dragons already!
Hi Elise and right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and granny squares blanket and butterfly mosaic blanket and my somebunny and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite crochet project to work on right now and favorite types of yarn to used when crocheting and keep up the great work on your UA-cam channel and keep up the great work on your crochet projects
Wow love those books. I have a few of them already. I haven’t tried knitting Amigurumi yet. I know how to knit. Mostly I knit socks and scarves. I think I need to try to knit something in Amigurumi. Thanks for sharing. Hugs to you and your family
Hi Elise! I remember you doing a video on how people had tips for crocheting, and one was to use either a half size bigger hook to a full size bigger hook when starting a blanket. Well, I just discovered that that technique also works when starting amigurumi projects as well. It doesn’t change the size of your projects, it just makes it easier getting the size hook you need to use for your project into that first stitch, for that stitch can be a bit tricky to get your hook into. Just an idea 💡 😊!
Great video! Claire Garland is probably my all-time favorite! I bought the Beatrix Potter book about a month ago and ordered all the yarn to make all the characters! I’m currently working on another one of her patterns, the little 🐸 I think I’d like to try the micro knitting! So many cute patterns, so little time ❤
Oh how I love your channel!! I really love the book on using the fur and the crochet you book is amazing. You are wonderful and so full of talent. I love all the information you share and how uplifting you are to others. Thank you so much for being you!!
Great tutorial. So many adorable items to choose from. It is amazing the talent these creators possess. Each one has their own style and unique individuality. Thank you Elise for sharing these books with us. Blessings
I get really excited when I see so many cute toys🤩 I have a polushka bunny crochet book that I have in the queue to make this year. I still am not up to the skill level for dot pebbles knit patterns but I think they are so cute 🥰 thanks for another great video and have a great weekend…. Karen from Greenleaf, Idaho 🧶☺️
Lovely video. Beautiful books that I will make every effort to avoid, as I have been decluttering my condo. SO tempting, though! I want my daughter to have few things to go through, because I will have gone through them, myself. At 81, I recognize that I will not complete my already long list of projects, so choosing more would stress me out. I can dream, though!🥰
*book haul video posted* Oh no! Elise made a book list again. My poor wallet. Whew! I have most of these already. LOL! I love everything you showed! Thanks!
Just got finished watching your LIVE on We Crochet and you did so great 😊 and I absolutely hate when I loose my stitch markers while making a pattern, nothing more horrible when you spend days a week on making something and to find a lost stitch marker and then you have to just take it all apart. The light bulb stitch markers was a great recommendation thank you. ❤
My copy of "Crochet You" just arrived and I cannot wait to make one of these dolls. Unfortunately the brand of yarn she recommends (Scheepjes Catona) is not available anywhere near me. Before I place an order from an online source I'd really like to make a sample and see how it goes (I'm still new to amigurumi but have been crocheting for decades). If anyone has a substitute they can recommend from Hobby Lobby or Michaels I'd really appreciate it! TYIA!! ❤
I would look for a similar fiber and weight. It's 100% cotton and it's a #1 Fingering weight yarn. That's very thin. I would look for a cotton yarn that's either sport or DK. Of course your doll will come out larger and you'll need to adjust the size of your crochet hook. Hope that helps! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet - thanks! I went ahead and tried Lion's Coboo with a size 2.5 hook. So far so good! Next I'm going to try the Lion 24/7 cotton DK. Both are weight 3 so I'm thinking I should get similar results. Fingers Crossed!!
I have sooo many WIPS right now and all of them are going to take a while. I just grabbed my Kawaii crochet book for a fast project so I can feel some sense of accomplishment cause I need a win lol! Mini pumpkin here I come!
OMGosh More books to buy! I had to keep glancing at my books to see what I already had lol, not to many that you listed unfortunately. But WOW, what a awesome new book collection! Even though I am just starting to relearn to knit I want all the knit books, they all really caught my eye especially Peter Rabbit. And the book with all the different special children I am blown away by, I am so glad that so many designers are starting to design for all types of people. But what a wonderful way to show a child, that they have a doll just like them, or even a special friend! Thank you as always for your great information!
I love 🧶. My mum taught me 30 plus years ago. I’m now in my 50s amd my mum has been gone since 1999. So crochet 🧶 is special to me.🇦🇺🧶💜Western Australia 🇦🇺
I’ve wanted to learn the crochet doll making for some time. Finding and buying bad patterns was not a good start. Trying to find suitable yarns is proving a nightmare really. Many recommend the yarn Art jeans but it is crazy expensive on amazon Canada. Trying to find suitable replacement is proving hard as I don’t know much about yarn. Spending $100 on supplies is not happening. I’m rather discouraged and ready to give up
Don't give up! Maybe do a google search for yarns that are available for a decent price in Canada! Do you have a Michael's nearby? There will be good yarns in large craft stores like that! 🧶🧶🧶
Please give me the Crochet furry friends book,I subbed to your channe turned on the notification bell and Liked to all of your videos.Please please please.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@EliseRoseCrochet Omg I'm so sorry I think that was my son lol! He just discovered amigurumi and saw me watching your channel, I better buy him a kit or something lol
I'm loving and marathoning your channel. I started learning crochet with my grandmother, but unfortunately she passed away before I could learn enough, and none of her daughters learned from her, they were never interested. I ended up stopping because I didn't have anyone to teach me, then I was too busy with med school and life in general... With the pandemic I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed and I started “learning” with tutorials on UA-cam and I fell in love with crochet and felt closer to my grandmother… I moved countries, came to Ireland and started my life over from scratch here, and now I'm in love with amigurumi, I want to buy everything and try everything, it's so beautiful... unfortunately I have difficulty finding yarn here, because it's not the same brands as in my country and there isn't a haberdashery on every corner like I'm used to, so I have to buy little by little online and test the yarns until I find the ideal one. Thank you for your videos 😊
That is so wonderful that you're able to feel closer to your grandmother with crocheting! 🧶 I've always heard you can get high quality wool in Ireland!🇮🇪 thank you so much for sharing your crochet journey! 🐑
I received Amigurumi Treasures and starting Ming the Kitten. Just to try out the yarn used DMC Natura Just Cotton I thought I would do an early review of the yarn, if you haven’t tried this brand yet. It is soft on the hands and slides over the hook nicely. It does have a tendency to split but, to my surprise, it didn’t bother me yet!. It has good stitch definition. Let me know if you have tried this yarn and what do you think about it. Love the colors. What yarn would you use for these adorable patterns? 🧶
What great books. Your work is beautiful ❤️ the books are great love peter rabbit 🐇. I have never made any. What us a great beginner project? Thank you 😊
Most of these projects are better for intermediate crocheters. But you'll find lots of great beginner amigurumi tutorials on UA-cam and I have a few on my channel! 🧶❤️📚
These all look like wonderful books! Definitely going to have to buy them and try them out, especially the Crochet You one. I know someone who has lost a leg and it would probably make his day to have a doll modeled after him!
I Love your books... I have been watching you for a while, and I have to say... I learn a lot. Crochet Impkins is taking a moment as there are so many choices,
I have the Impkins and Megan’s Mythical creature books. I made a phoenix and plan to make many more. I also have the Crochet You book and plan to make special donation kids for patients at Gillette Hospital where my son gets his specialty care in St. Paul MN. I LOVE how unique these dolls can get!!!
❤ Crochet You. Brought this book last year and have made one basic doll so far. The patterns are easy to follow and fun. I donate toys to children in need and this book allows me to make dolls that reflects all the children out there. Strongly recommend it
Hi Elise, a great review indeed! I have crocheted polushkabunny's tiger...and I love the Claire Garland book 😍. Definitely want to try to knit these toys

Yes! It's such a wonderful way for a child to see themselves in a doll! I think my son would have enjoyed it too when he was little! 📚❤️🧶
Came here to say this. I remember how excited my kiddo was to get a stuffed animal with hearing aids.
Drop EVERYTHING (except coffee), y’all. Elise posted.
Hi, Lisa! I’m a Nurse,too and I live for Elise’s posts. So excited that there is a new one. Watching it now!
Awwwww! Thank you, Lisa!! 🤣☕️📚❤️🧶
Thank you so much! ☺️
A couple of hours later than you. But I am here for it with 3rd cup a coffee in hand!😊 AND I’m a nurse too!!!
As a non-native speaker of English, I am now smugly congratulating myself on noticing that the first syllable of "chimera" should actually sound like "K + eye". Yes, I'm absolutely insufferable and will see myself out. The books are beautiful and I love your videos.
Lol!! Thank you for the correction! ❤️
Kitsune as well but I find it adorable the way Elise pronounced it and also it’s a Japanese word. I’m constantly learning new words in other languages when trying new cooking recipes.
Elise, I just got into Crocheting and I am so thankful for your channel! I’m a lawyer by day and finding crochet has been such a joy for me, because it helps me to unwind and “zone out.” My eldest leaves for college this fall and I want to make him a blanket with the college logo on it. I hope I am good enough by then! 😂 Thank you again! ❤
You can do it!! It's nice to have a relaxing outlet and I'm sure you need it after such a demanding day job! 🧶🧶🧶
I love your book reviews Elise! This was a great one. All those books look amazing!
Thank you so much!! These are such great amigurumi books! 🧶🐭📚❤️
Is that hook husband's-machinery-approved smooth? 😋
CHONKY HEDGEHOG!!!!!!! I might have to buy that book!!!
I'm going to have my husband test it soon (plus a bunch of other crochet hooks)! And those Chonky toys are soooooo cute!! 🦔
i was thinking the same thing XD
LOL, that was my first thought too!
This is such an interesting channel for all of us... you've found a way to entertain those of us that are "veterans" as well as the "newbies"... keep up the great work! PS... careful with the tiny hooks and thread... they are not "good for the hands"... Hugs, GrammaBabs
Thank you so much, Gramma Babs!!! Taking note!! 📝
Omg I so look forward to your videos because u bring a sparkles of happiness and excitement every time without fail. ✨️😁 I must say I have never tried Amigarumi still because it seems too advanced for me but I love how u made Charlie the Platypus❤ not only because he is gorgeous but I'm Australian and my eldest son has been obsessed with Platypus since he was tiny.

Right!?!?! I have never seen a crocheted AFO before and I had to show it to my son! He was not impressed! 🤣🤣🤣
As a kid with leg braces, crutches, wheelchairs and scars that book would have been so cool.
Isn't it an amazing book?? I just love it! ❤️
Made the swan then mom wanted one so I made two. Yes I love Erin lee’s book 😊
I love that pattern!!! 🦢🦢

What a wonderful collection of books!

Lovely video. Beautiful books that I will make every effort to avoid, as I have been decluttering my condo. SO tempting, though!

At 81, I recognize that I will not complete my already long list of projects, so choosing more would stress me out. I can dream, though!🥰
Thank you, Nettonya! I don't blame you for avoiding these books!! Too many cute patterns!! 🧶❤️📚☺️
I wish i was be better at knitting😭😭 the knitted toys are so PRECIOUS😍😭 i dont think i‘m able to knit any of them
They really are gorgeous!! 📚❤️🧶
I got stuck in junes journey, so I broke the connection by turn off my phone. It was fun. Love hidden gems.
It really is a fun game! ❤️
Working to be good enough to be my side hustle.
Wonderful!! 👏👏👏
I have a huge collection of crochet books, I just love pouring through them. Love these book review videos.
Me too!! I love having a collection of them! 🧶📚❤️
I have both of the amigurumi treasures books and the crochet you one ❤ I have about 100 patterns I want to do asap 😂
lol!! The struggle is real!! 📚🧶❤️
I'm so glad you found the Impkins book. My daughter and I just love making new creatures from it.
It's such a fun book!! 🧶❤️📚
Wow, these are so Adorable!❤ I needed some inspiration, and now I do! Thank you
I'm so glad!! 📚❤️🐭🧶
OMG, I couldn’t resist buying a couple of those books, 😢
They are all soooo good! 🧶❤️📚
*book haul video posted* Oh no! Elise made a book list again. My poor wallet. Whew! I have most of these already. LOL! I love everything you showed! Thanks!
Lol!!! 🤣 I'm glad you already have most of the books!! These are soooo tempting! 🧶📚❤️

Hey quick question…
What do you use to do the blush
I absolutely love the platypus you made❤
I have a UA-cam Short sharing what I do: ua-cam.com/users/shortsTnkCT3jq6ro?si=4epMhWyMx4IfUC4- ❤️
I love so many of these pattern designs! Thank you for sharing all of these.
You are so welcome! 📚❤️🧶
Just got finished watching your LIVE on We Crochet and you did so great 😊 and I absolutely hate when I loose my stitch markers while making a pattern, nothing more horrible when you spend days a week on making something and to find a lost stitch marker and then you have to just take it all apart. The light bulb stitch markers was a great recommendation thank you. ❤
Thank you so much!!! I was sooooo nervous!! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet I would be too 😊 I get nervous sometimes when I start recording tutorials especially if I'm in front of the camera talking lol.
Oh boy, I want them all. Let us know your favourites as you work your way through them.
I definitely will!! 📚❤️🧶
I have the impkin one, i am a bit picky when it comes to books because i wanna make sure i wanna make everything and not just or one two lol
That's a great book! Very unique! 🧶📚❤️
My copy of "Crochet You" just arrived and I cannot wait to make one of these dolls. Unfortunately the brand of yarn she recommends (Scheepjes Catona) is not available anywhere near me. Before I place an order from an online source I'd really like to make a sample and see how it goes (I'm still new to amigurumi but have been crocheting for decades). If anyone has a substitute they can recommend from Hobby Lobby or Michaels I'd really appreciate it! TYIA!! ❤
I would look for a similar fiber and weight. It's 100% cotton and it's a #1 Fingering weight yarn. That's very thin. I would look for a cotton yarn that's either sport or DK. Of course your doll will come out larger and you'll need to adjust the size of your crochet hook. Hope that helps! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet - thanks! I went ahead and tried Lion's Coboo with a size 2.5 hook. So far so good! Next I'm going to try the Lion 24/7 cotton DK. Both are weight 3 so I'm thinking I should get similar results. Fingers Crossed!!
I adore Crochet Impkins!
They are so cute!! 🧶❤️📚
I have sooo many WIPS right now and all of them are going to take a while. I just grabbed my Kawaii crochet book for a fast project so I can feel some sense of accomplishment cause I need a win lol! Mini pumpkin here I come!
That's wonderful!! It really does feel good to get a project done! 🧶❤️📚
Love this book haul! Great video! I want to make them ALL 😻😻😻
Me too!! 🧶❤️📚
You inspire me to take on more detailed amigurumi patterns
Great review video!
Awesome!! 🧶❤️📚
OMGosh More books to buy! I had to keep glancing at my books to see what I already had lol, not to many that you listed unfortunately. But WOW, what a awesome new book collection! Even though I am just starting to relearn to knit I want all the knit books, they all really caught my eye especially Peter Rabbit. And the book with all the different special children I am blown away by, I am so glad that so many designers are starting to design for all types of people. But what a wonderful way to show a child, that they have a doll just like them, or even a special friend! Thank you as always for your great information!
Yes!! It really is such a special book! It's wonderful to see all the different designs! 🧶❤️📚
@@EliseRoseCrochet I agree, I have it already on my next buy cart😁
I have to learn how to knit so I can buy the Peter Rabbit book...I just want to make them all❤
I know!!! They are so gorgeous! 🐰🐰🐰
I love 🧶. My mum taught me 30 plus years ago. I’m now in my 50s amd my mum has been gone since 1999. So crochet 🧶 is special to me.🇦🇺🧶💜Western Australia 🇦🇺
Awww! I can see why! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm also an Aussie in my 50's too but I am in NSW😊🇦🇺❤🧶Isn't Elise just wonderful.💗🙏
I’ve wanted to learn the crochet doll making for some time. Finding and buying bad patterns was not a good start. Trying to find suitable yarns is proving a nightmare really. Many recommend the yarn Art jeans but it is crazy expensive on amazon Canada. Trying to find suitable replacement is proving hard as I don’t know much about yarn. Spending $100 on supplies is not happening. I’m rather discouraged and ready to give up
Don't give up! Maybe do a google search for yarns that are available for a decent price in Canada! Do you have a Michael's nearby? There will be good yarns in large craft stores like that! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet I do have michaels stores. There’s a lot of yarn in them but hard to buy when I don’t know what to get
i don't even crochet amigurumi but im so tempted to buy all of these 😭😭 they are such cute patterns
Haha! I totally get it!! 📚🧶❤️
Please give me the Crochet furry friends book,I subbed to your channe turned on the notification bell and Liked to all of your videos.Please please please.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It will be a random drawing!! Good luck! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet Omg I'm so sorry I think that was my son lol! He just discovered amigurumi and saw me watching your channel, I better buy him a kit or something lol
Wow, thank you for sharing all of those wonderful books. I can’t wait to clear out some wips so I can try out some. ❤️
You are so welcome! 📚❤️🧶
I'm loving and marathoning your channel. I started learning crochet with my grandmother, but unfortunately she passed away before I could learn enough, and none of her daughters learned from her, they were never interested. I ended up stopping because I didn't have anyone to teach me, then I was too busy with med school and life in general...
With the pandemic I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed and I started “learning” with tutorials on UA-cam and I fell in love with crochet and felt closer to my grandmother… I moved countries, came to Ireland and started my life over from scratch here, and now I'm in love with amigurumi, I want to buy everything and try everything, it's so beautiful... unfortunately I have difficulty finding yarn here, because it's not the same brands as in my country and there isn't a haberdashery on every corner like I'm used to, so I have to buy little by little online and test the yarns until I find the ideal one.
Thank you for your videos 😊
That is so wonderful that you're able to feel closer to your grandmother with crocheting! 🧶 I've always heard you can get high quality wool in Ireland!🇮🇪 thank you so much for sharing your crochet journey! 🐑
I have to unsubscribe. Watching your videos cost me to much 💰
I totally understand!! 🤣🤣🤣
I just ordered the Amigurumi Treasures. The pictures of what you can make are soooooo adorable. I probably with order books 2&3. Thanks for sharing.
They are so adorable! 🧶🧶🧶
I received Amigurumi Treasures and starting Ming the Kitten. Just to try out the yarn used DMC Natura Just Cotton I thought I would do an early review of the yarn, if you haven’t tried this brand yet. It is soft on the hands and slides over the hook nicely. It does have a tendency to split but, to my surprise, it didn’t bother me yet!. It has good stitch definition. Let me know if you have tried this yarn and what do you think about it. Love the colors. What yarn would you use for these adorable patterns? 🧶
What great books. Your work is beautiful ❤️ the books are great love peter rabbit 🐇. I have never made any. What us a great beginner project? Thank you 😊
Most of these projects are better for intermediate crocheters. But you'll find lots of great beginner amigurumi tutorials on UA-cam and I have a few on my channel! 🧶❤️📚
Thank you. I crochet a lot but never tried this.
i just ordered my first book from Herrschners - Stackpole Books Crochet Creatures Of Myth & Legend
Oooh! I'll have to check that one out! 📚❤️🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet i fell in love with the dragon on the cover!
All those books look amazing! Thanks for another great video
Thanks for watching! 🧶❤️📚
Warning! 😂 look at all the goodness and variety! Ugh! I will have to make a list! Thank you so much! So many new to me for sure!
Lol!!! I warned everyone!!! Proceed at your own risk!! ⚠️ 🤣🧶❤️📚
@@EliseRoseCrochet 😂
These all look like wonderful books! Definitely going to have to buy them and try them out, especially the Crochet You one. I know someone who has lost a leg and it would probably make his day to have a doll modeled after him!
Awwww! That's wonderful!! 🧶❤️📚
I Love your books... I have been watching you for a while, and I have to say... I learn a lot. Crochet Impkins is taking a moment as there are so many choices,
So many amazing books to choose from! 🧶❤️📚
I have the Impkins and Megan’s Mythical creature books. I made a phoenix and plan to make many more. I also have the Crochet You book and plan to make special donation kids for patients at Gillette Hospital where my son gets his specialty care in St. Paul MN. I LOVE how unique these dolls can get!!!
Awww! That's wonderful!! 🧶❤️📚
Awesome video and so inspiring to increase my book library!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the books! 📚❤️🧶
Charlie IS absolutely ADORABLE!!!
Thank you!! He's one of my favorite projects ever! 🧶🧶🧶
❤ Crochet You. Brought this book last year and have made one basic doll so far. The patterns are easy to follow and fun. I donate toys to children in need and this book allows me to make dolls that reflects all the children out there. Strongly recommend it
Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️🧶📚
Do you have a pattern for bumble bee crochet toys? They are small.
I would look on Etsy! 🐝🐝🐝
These books look great. Thank you for sharing
Glad you like them! 📚❤️🧶
I, crocheted the Ming the kitten twice for a friend
That one is soooo cute!! 🐱
Hi Elise, a great review indeed!
I have crocheted polushkabunny's tiger...and I love the Claire Garland book 😍. Definitely want to try to knit these toys
Wonderful! They are such lovely patterns! 📚❤️🧶
