my fave patterns are definitely the kitsune and the selkie!! so pretty. and amazing to see so many artists from around the world in a single book, all incredible designers!!
It’s great isn’t it! I really like these books for the collaborative nature and the fact you can get so many different styles of creations 😃 Also great picks for your faves!
Hi Alice, this book looks lovely, I like the pixie and the Grimm reaper, but would happily make all of them. Thank you for showing us and I hope you are having a wonderful week x
Lovely review Alice❤ I have the first two but haven't got the third yet .... maybe Christmas 😘 I agree, these books are just lovely! Take care, hugs to you and Abigail xx❤
Thanks for the look throughs they are really important and informative as you can’t really get to see much on Amazon. They have opened up a new lot of books I would not have considered.
Hello lovely Alice!!!! Sorry, your hay fever is acting up! I completely understand! I do absolutely love this book and have been eyeing it since I saw it on pre-order!! I am on the same page as Abigail! I love the reaper and the selkie!!! The reaper reminds me of Jack Skellington!! You both should watch the movie The Song of the Sea!!! It's a kids movie with selkies! One of my favorites! I hope you both have a wonderful week! Hugs!!! ❤❤
Hello starlight and stitches Thank you so much for your unicorn and dragons & fantasy amigurumi 3 crochet book review ❤❤❤❤❤ From Alice Leblanc pusheen channel
@@starlightandstitches My favourite from the book it's the dragon because. Reminds me of spyro from game Also many other favourites are lion dragon and octopus From Alice Leblanc pusheen channel
I have just made Morgana, she is beautiful , I gave her dark brown hair.the body was in 4 ply and her skin in 8 ply but I used my usual 3.5mm hook instead of the suggested 2.5mm which gave the perfect fit.
yes it was easy enough, with some new techniques . I was thrown by the two different weight yarns used so I started with my usual DK and 3.5mm hook. The girl came out nice and large and I kept going on her skin with the same yarn, but it was not going to fit. I then made her in 4 ply cotton, nice and petite and she fitted into the skin. If I had used the 2.5 hook they recommend I think it would have been too small.
Hi Alice, thanks for the video. I have to say, I think this is the best book so far and my favourite character has to be Hector the Cyclops. Maybe, in the New Year, I will think about adding this to my collection, I'm working on the Pokemon book at the minute, I have to admit, it's taken me a bit to get used to the strange way the patterns are written. In over 40 years of crocheting, I've never seen anything written like this and I emailed the printer to ask if there has been any amendments made to the book because Charizard's head hasn't come out right, but no reply so far, think I will just have to wing it, lol. xx PS, I much prefer it when you review books that don't take my fancy
Haha!! Am I making you add more books to your wish list?!? 🤣🤣 This book really is great though- such lovely designs! Is it the first Pokémon book you’re currently on? The patterns are written in a very peculiar way- loads of people have struggled with it. So you’re not on your own there. Xx
@@starlightandstitches, yeah, my wish list grows with almost each book review you do🤣🤣 It's the first book, but I've got both books coz my lot are Pokemon fans. Once you figure out how they are written, you can get going with them, but once I got Charizard's snout done, I followed the increases for his forehead and as I was getting towards the end of the head, I realised that he has a bulging cheek and flat forehead. The increases are obviously not where they need to be (believe me, I've double, triple and quadruple checked that I followed the pattern exactly, lol) I've waited a few days for a reply from them and nothing, time for me to just wing it and play around until I'm happy with it. Fingers crossed it's just this one because the others that I've done have been ok! Once these are finished, I'm going to do some stuff on the circular knitting machines to give my hands a break, crocheting amigurumi and arthritis do not go well together, lol. Do you think we would be rich if we weren't addicted to yarn arts? xxx (Barbara)
What a fun & cute book. Thank you for doing a book look on this book. I will have to get this book. Have you made any of these yet? I love these two Alba, and Aridae. I think they are all very cute.
I still havnt!! But I’ll try to make one soon- my trouble is choosing which one to make first and then I end up wasting so much time because I can’t decide that I don’t do any of them 😄
Orion the chimera is a precious cub and i NEED him!!! i really enjoy the book reviews it very nice to see what's in the contents. i know you don't want to show the patterns but if there are more 360 views of the final pieces, could you put them in as well? some time the front doesn't really tell that much or give enough info to deicide on making it or not.
It was a gift about 8 years ago!! I wonder if you searched ‘I don’t care I’m a unicorn’ hoodie mr google might find something similar? It’s so comfy!! ❤️🦄
I have a big problem with this book! What to make first? Seriously there isn’t any I don’t want to make in this book. Love akiko the unicorn and the grim reaper though.
What a treat it is to see these charming dolls, Alice! That is a beautiful book!!! 🧚♀️💕
I just love them so much!! Full of awesomeness! ❤️

I'm definitely getting this book. I have to make the Gandolf looking wizard.
He’s great isn’t he!!! 🥰

Loving the unicorn 🦄 sweater where did you get it?
It was a gift about 8 years ago!! I wonder if you searched ‘I don’t care I’m a unicorn’ hoodie mr google might find something similar?
It’s so comfy!! ❤️🦄
Such a nice book on my Xmas list and what is a worsted weight yarn ?
It’s a great book! Glad you liked the look through!
Worsted weight is the equivalent of a uk Aran or Afghan weight 😊
I have a big problem with this book! What to make first? Seriously there isn’t any I don’t want to make in this book. Love akiko the unicorn and the grim reaper though.
They’re really great aren’t they!!
Love your faves- on opposite ends of the fantasy scale ❤️
Watching this and making the grim reaper, but not in black.
That’s so cool! What colours are you using?
he's fluorescent green and purple as i'm using my halloween yarn from hobbii@@starlightandstitches
