I love seeing all the yarns using one pattern, really helps me discern the difference. Also, I've been having SO MUCH TROUBLE finding the colors I want lately. Anyone else?/
i could watch you talking about yarn for an hour without a problem. i hope you all will have a great time celebrating his birthday and i can't wait for more videos!
Hoping your son has a wonderful bday! My son is on the spectrum as well, so I completely understand what you’re talking about with prepping him. Another great video, and you’re obviously having a wonderful time and it shows! See ya next week! 💙
Just discovered you and I love love love that you are comparing so many brands. Only person I have found to do it. New subscriber! But I do have a question- what brand is that brown yarn in the bottom right? I am struggling to find any brown yarn and those skeins look pretty big which is also amazing
Hobbii snuggle baby is my favorite and goes on sale often. Also give the hunny bunny from Hobbii a try. Thanks so much for you vids I really enjoy them!!
Hope that your surprise went well and your son enjoyed his party. I made the mistake when my daughter turned 18 of planning a surprise party and instead of telling her the truth of where we were going I said we were picking her cousin up and going to a movie. Then we drove to Culver’s where all our friends and family were waiting and they yelled surprise. Unfortunately she was more excited about the movie that I had said we were going to and could not enjoy her party. Family members didn’t understand why she wasn’t happy about her party. It was an epic fail. Had I told her the truth that could have been a fun day. Thanks for the yarn reviews. I actually bit the bullet and bought some various plushie yarns and made some fun sea turtles, leggy frogs, an octopus, a bumble bee, a dinosaur and little bear. The bumble ended up looking like a Yellowjacket because I made to many rows and it was not round and plump but it’s still cute. My bear looked more like a pug because of the variegated blanket yarn I chose. Color can really make a difference. I’m having fun though and really NEED to buy that chicken pattern! So far I’ve been using free patterns that had crochet along videos. I do better with tutorials than reading patterns. I’ll have to send you a few pics of my creations over on IG sometime. You gave me the courage to try and make plushies and I’m having fun ❤
Yes!! definitely send me pictures, I would love to see! I hope it’s bringing you joy. Our kids are so hard to predict, right? We told Andy the morning of the party. So he would have time to process. But not so much time that he obsessively worried. It’s such a delicate balance! And as much as family loves him, they don’t totally understand. Sounds like you are an amazing mom!
I would love to see an axolotl round up. My favorite axolotl pattern that I use is one off of Ribblr. I think the name of the creator is something like pixie, plush. I would also like to see a cat round up. I’ve seen several cat patterns, but I really haven’t seen one that appeals to me a lot. I love these yarn comparison videos that you do. It gives me ideas for some new yarns I might want to try.
I crocheted when I was younger (20’s) before children and now as a retirement hobby I took up crocheting again. I re-taught myself on velvet yarn. I am an expert on pulling back and redoing rows but mastered it now, sort of😂. For fun I tried worsted yarn and wow! It’s wonderful not feeling for the next stitch😂. I love the soft, fluffy yarns so rarely use it but when I do, it’s fun! Your reviews are great because I have a habit of buying too much yarn at a time so suffering through thick blanket yarn right now. My new mantra--just buy one just buy one! Have you tried the oyster (clam pattern). It’s free and really cute by HookedbyKati .
Oh, if only it were possible to “just buy one”. 😂😂 I tell myself I need at least a couple Colors, so I can make more than one thing. And then I get close to free shipping… and I have to add a few more things to the cart. It’s not my fault 😂😂. I’m avoiding the blanket yarn right now too, I totally go through phases! Thanks so much for watching!
I so appreciate you doing these yarn comparisons they are so helpful! Thank you thank you and please tell me where I can find the pattern for that darling Pink Flamingo and what yarn did you use?❤❤
Thank you! I love doing them. Ohhh, that cute flamingo is part of a pattern pack on Etsy, by AllFromJade! Her patterns are so so good. I used parfait chunky for that one! Let me know if you name it!
The Sweet Snuggles and the Parfait XL are in fact interchangeable! I made a rainbow bee and used blue and purple from Parfait XL and the rest Sweet Snuggles- you'd never know without me telling you! And THANK YOU for letting me know about the size difference on the hobbii yarn! I wouldn't mind trying it out, but now I know to not expect an exact size matchup! Ahhhh you definitely need to make a velvet spider!!
Oooh you guys have so many options to choose from! I literally put my first order in for Parfait Chunky! Managed to get it for $5 US per skein! Of course black & white were out of stock!!
Im new to your channel. Just saw two of your videos. Already subscribed. Love your reviews! Going to give baby snuggle a shot. As soon as you said its about as good as sweet snuggle, i knew it was the one. I love your bernat velvet plus not for the project I want to do
I’m so sorry, I can’t save you from your yarn addiction until I figure out how to save myself! 😂😂 Thanks so much for watching, and for the super nice comment, it made my day!
I was actually crocheting an axolotl while watching. I've been making crochetbygenna's large no sew axolotl pattern on her Etsy! It works up pretty fast and is a decent size with premier parfait chunky yarn. Also, I've tried about every Hobby Lobby yarn they have in store, and I would like to know your opinion on the Baby Bee Snugs & Kisses line. I believe it only comes in 6 colors and they are all fairly light. The yarn is pretty soft in my opinion. They also have the Yarn Bee Cozy Occasion line which has a larger color selection but the yarn is super stiff and tube like. I'd choose the Snugs & Kisses line over the Cozy one any day. The yarn is also 30% off every other week :)
I will definitely try out the Snugs and Kisses line next! I tried cozy occasion in my first plush yarn video, and I didn’t love working with it. You’re right, it’s just too stiff! I have that Axolotl pattern, I still need to make, thanks for the input, adding it to my video list!
liked and subscribed!! being in canada bites,,, I can't find any good yarn prices ,, and if i buy in the USA the exchange rate and shipping ,,,, there is no way I can do it :(
We Canadians need to arrange a bus trip over the border to yarn shops😂. Can you imagine the border patrol fellows faces when they check our custom forms 😂
Oh my STARZ! That spider in the velvet plus NEEDS to happen! The Octo turned out so adorable!
I bought some more, so I can make him extra big and adorable!! Thanks for watching ❤️
I love seeing all the yarns using one pattern, really helps me discern the difference. Also, I've been having SO MUCH TROUBLE finding the colors I want lately. Anyone else?/
Me too!! Although I have enough now, I’m going to need to tag them, so I don’t forget which is which 😂😂
i could watch you talking about yarn for an hour without a problem. i hope you all will have a great time celebrating his birthday and i can't wait for more videos!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the encouragement, sometimes I get carried away chatting! Lol
An eagle or an owl would also be adorable in the baby snuggle yarn. So happy to find your channel 😊
I’ve been dying to make an owl, I keep scrolling through patterns looking for what to make first! Thanks so much for watching!!
Hoping your son has a wonderful bday! My son is on the spectrum as well, so I completely understand what you’re talking about with prepping him. Another great video, and you’re obviously having a wonderful time and it shows! See ya next week! 💙
I am having so much fun! Looks like you are too! Can I ask how old your son is? Hope you’re having a great day!!
@@YarnandWhimsyDesigns he is 12. He’s very high functioning but we truly struggle with anxiety and having/being a friend.
Totally agree about velvet yarn. It’s incredibly soft. Love mom
Thanks Mom!!!
That is a great idea❤ Octos with the different leg styles😊
Sooo many octos, I would love to do a comparison.

You should do it! It’s so fun. Thanks for watching!
Love all your videos and Happy Birthday to your son🎉
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Also, "what back where?" is a mood haha

I absolutely adore your personality! I have a yarn addiction and you’re not helping 😅
I’m so sorry, I can’t save you from your yarn addiction until I figure out how to save myself! 😂😂
Thanks so much for watching, and for the super nice comment, it made my day!
I have a bunch of hobbii left over from their 4.99 sale😂😂 I feel like they are exactly the same. Though my PC looks flatter compared to HB
Happy birthday Andy❤❤❤
I’m really enjoying my Hobbii. I’m waiting for it to go on sale again!
I would love to try all the yarns but I have no space 😢
I know that feeling!! Thanks for watching ❤️
