- In Amigurumi Mistakes: Part 1 we dove headfirst into fascinating topics such as embroidering faces, counting stitching and stuffing body parts. If you missed that post you can check it out here. In Part 2 we are going to dive just as deep and focus on tension, yarn weight, color and seaming.
I also share about my craft room flood, a little about my son's epilepsy and my favorite new book!

I'm so glad to hear that everyone hates sewing the pieces together. I thought it was just me.
I just recently found your channel and I'm loving it. Thanks for everything you share!
You are definitely not the only one! Lol! I'm so glad you like the channel! 💓
same 😭 also no matter what I can't just learn how to make it look nice and my sewed parts are just too tight and it looks like a balloon 🥲
Elise, thank you for sharing your son’s story. You’re right, everyone has some kind of struggle. I’m glad that despite his health struggles, he is thriving and enjoying life! I love and appreciate your videos. 🤗
Thank you so much! He's my reminder to let the small things go! 🧶🧶🧶
my 10 year old son has epilepsy. He has ACC and a VP shunt. He is the biggest blessing in our family. Our number 11 out of 12. We have so much in common. I am binge watching your videos.
Oh wow. Thank you for sharing that. It's been a bumpy road this year (and I made a video about it back at the end of January) but I'm so glad you understand what a blessing it really is. 🌺🌺🌺
Just found your channel recently and have been going though some of the tutorials. I to have epilepsy had my first seizure wen I was 26 to this day no explanation for it. I'm grateful that I'm on only on one medication to control them. It's one of the first medications ever used for epilepsy over 100 years old. I just passed my 19th anniversary of being seizure free. I work and am able to drive I also keep close watch on my medication level yearly so for some reason it goes down I know to in form both my doctor and my pharmacist as to why its down.
I like sewing on the parts. And now you've met somebody that likes to!
Wonderful!! 🧶
Just finished an amigurumi horse (stuffed head and hooves, flat body for the rest). The finishing - crocheting eyes and sewing parts together - stopped me working on this critter for about 7 months! The joy of how it looks once I finished it thrills me! I almost don’t want to give it away! But my friend’s great grandson is now 7 months old and I think he will like it.
Your son sounds like an amazing person. Thanks for sharing with us your obvious love for him.
Blessings!
What a wonderful share about your son. The more I watch your anagarumi videos the more "hooked" I get and the more books and patterns are sitting in my cart!
Oh thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Came for the amigurumi, stayed for the nice sweet lady teaching about it. You seem like the best and nicest mom ever!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much! Such a sweet thing to say!! 😘😘😘
LePetitSaint Crochet 🥰🥰 it’s so true though!!! Can’t wait to start amigurumi and follow along with all your videos!!! This world definitely could benefit from having more inhabitants like you☺️
i am soooo glad I found you!!!! you have healped me with improving my crochet
Thank you! I'm so glad! ❤️❤️❤️
I understand exactly where you are coming from and your pride for your son, my daughter has cerebral palsy, dyslexia and anxiety (caused by the cerebral palsy) but she has over come every obstacle that got in her way. She lived away from home at college and is now at University. I think children with difficulties cope with the crap of life better, because they have to work so much harder and when they set their mind to do something they will do it ! God help anyone who tells them they can't. Love & Light to you and yours -Donna (UK)
Thank you so very much for sharing about your daughter! I know exactly how you feel. My pride swells when I see my son accomplishing so many things. Anxiety is also a serious issue for him. I just wish I could take away some of those hardships he faces and will continue to face but that isn't possible. Hugs to you and your daughter!
The Pinterest color pallet hack is a great tip!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🧶🧶🧶
Your son sounds great and your pride shines through. 💐
Thank you so very much! We are so very proud of him! 💗💗💗
Elise, I have been watching so many of your wonderful videos and my absolute favorites are the ones where you are totally real and just telling us like it is!! Thank you so much! I love them!!
Awww!! Thank you so much!! 🧶🧶🧶
Hi sweetie 👋👋 when your flood situation is fixed you cannot imagine the relief it will give you. My kitchen roof leaked and the old utility room flooded for years. Every winter, not having to worry about gives me so much peace. Fingers crossed you're sorted asap!!! Well done to Jackson for letting you share what you've all been going through. He sounds like an amazing you man with great determination. A testament to his lovely family I'm 100% sure ❤ Loved this week's Vlog, you're smashing it Elise I'm so so happy for you 😘🤗🤗🤗
It will be such a relief! I cannot wait! Still waiting on a quote so we can make a decision and get this project rolling! Thank you for your kind comments about Jackson. We are so proud of him and I wish that he would let me share his adorable face more!! Boys!! 😂
@@EliseRoseCrochet 🤣🤣 I'm sure everyone thinks Joshua is my imaginary child 🤣🤣 fingers crossed for you 😘🤗
Hi Elise, I have been binge watching your videos. Gosh it’s 5am I need to get to bed lol ya think. I saw the video about Jackson’s insertion of his pacemaker. What a nice kid he is. I hope placement of the pacemaker is now slowing down or eliminating those seizures🙏🏻. On my niece’s 3rd b’day she started having seizures. My sister & brother in law took her to the hospital did a ton of testing and placed her on meds. She was home about a week later but seizures got so much worse. After some time they were one after the other. The hospital gave her something like a Valium but all she did was sleep. My sister was so upset and transferred her to a children’s hospital an hour away. The Dr was brilliant. He gave her several meds that stopped her seizures. Today she is married and had her 1st baby last year. She was weaned off all meds when she went into puberty and has never had another seizure. The Dr at the Children’s Hospital took a family history because my mother’s cousin had seizures all her life. He figured that it runs in the family but skips a generation. I know your son’s situation is very different. I just wanted to share. Glad Jackson is doing so good and making something of his life. He is a strong loving man; but he comes from a loving and supportive family. Ok The End it’s 5:20 AM I don’t want to sleep the day away lol. Hugs❤ gayle
Thank you so much!! Yes, his quality of life is so much better now! 🧶🧶🧶
I have a 19 year old daughter and we have the deepest most meaningful conversations while driving. Sometimes I think it's easier for some people to really open up when "eye contact" isnt really an issue. Whenever my friends get in an argument with their kids or need to discuss some things, I always suggest a long ride somewhere!! Love your tips on this video too!
I could not agree more! Long car rides are like therapy sessions!!❤️
I just found your channel tonight and am HOOKED (no pun intended). I’ve been crocheting amigurumi for a few years now, but your tips are really going to take my projects up a notch. The pieces you shared that you made are so adorable & inspiring. So sorry to hear about your flooded basement, I know those rains were a B! Much love from Charlotte North Carolina 💜💜💜
We are neighbors!!! I'm so glad you like the channel! Thankfully the basement is all fixed now! Amigurumi projects are so much fun to make!! ❤️
I just discovered you tonite. It's been such a pleasure to get helpful tips on amugirumi from you (getting ready to start my first) AND to listen to your real life joys and trials. The stories make you seem real! How refreshing! Especially! when you shared the challenges that come at you from well intentioned people in raising your son. Thats MY story! My husband and I adopted my biological neice who has some learning disability. She's grown now, has her own job that I take her to and pick her up from. Being her parent has been a pure joy. I could not have asked for a sweeter child. And i've raised 3 others. The biggest challenge that i was up against allll those years and even now is people telling her, things that she should do or get. It's like they just cant accept that she's quite happy. And its obvious (hearing their ideas) that they wont be affected at all by the consequences. I just wish they would stop trying to fix what isnt broke. Be happy that she loves her job, loves her family and friends and she's happy. I wonder how they would feel if i got all up in their business telling them what they ought to do. lol. I thot I was the lone ranger. Didnt mean to go long. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to getting started on my amugirumi!
Thank you so much for sharing! It's always nice to know that others understand! Your daughter sounds wonderful and being happy is so important. ❤️❤️❤️
We all have our cross to bear, it sounds as if your son if handling his well. Hmm…..I wonder why? His parents, and siblings, have provided him with the tools of course! You are not just fabulous at knitting and crocheting is what you have just described to us. Many gold boards in Heaven are awaiting you and yours when you get there. ❤️
Awwww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Omgosh, the pinterest trick is awesome!
I really like it too!! 💖💖💖
Thank you so much for the tip to look at Pinterest to find color palettes. I am terrible with coming up with color combinations so this will be very helpful for me. Thanks again. 😊. That was a delight to hear about your very much loved son. 😊
I'm so glad you liked the Pinterest tip! It really is such a great tool for us amigurumi makers! And thank you for your kind words about our son. 😘😘😘
I've just found your channel (and adore it!). Your son sounds very lucky to have a famiy and a mom like you! I too miss very much driving my son to and from school.
Thank you so much! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for sharing this! I love the little rhino!! And love the heather look too!!!
Thank you so much, Nucci! The rhino was such a fun project. The heathered yarns are my absolute favorite!
I also love audiobooks which help me relax to sleep. If you still want a recommendation, have you tried Erik Larson's books? I started with his book "Erik's Storm" and I'm now on my third of his, getting ready to begin the fourth. Excellent writer and NO profanity! (Bad language is one of my pet peeves). But most importantly, I'll be continuing to keep Pickle's full recovery in my thoughts and prayers!! 👍 correction: "Isaac's Storm"!! The brain cells are getting old.
Thank you so much!! I haven't heard of that author!! I will definitely be checking those books out!! And thank you for the support for Pickle! He's such a sweetheart and it breaks my heart to see him suffer. 🐾🐱❤️
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the links on seaming!!!
You are so very welcome!
Wow the Pinterest colour palette idea is the best life hack ever! Like a life hack for everything haha
It comes in handy in so many different things!! I'm so glad you liked it! 💓
I understand how sad epilepsy can leave people, when siesures are not in check the brain can be on a slippery slope, constantly losing functions, and getting less tolerant of well meanig people who don't realise what they do. I hope your son keeps going from strength to strength. All the best.
Thank you so much. It's such an unpredictable condition and he is again going through a rough patch. Thankfully through it all he is as sweet as ever. Just want to help him get better. 😘😘😘
I'm just getting started with amigurumi. These videos are awesome. Thanks
I'm so glad you found them helpful!! 💓💓💓
Great tips . They are so very pretty
Thank you! 🩷
I wish I discovered this channel years ago. I could've avoided so many mistakes 😅
We learn from our mistakes! 🧶🧶🧶
Good for you, momma!! Extolling your Baby Boy's strengths 🥰🥰 (my boys will always be my babies 🥰😂)
Awwww! Thank you!! Love my boys (and girls) so much! 🧶🧶🧶
That miss piggy is absolutely gorgeous I think you are great at explaining things but I can't see I will ever be good enough to crochet something like that.
I finished your mask lanyard yesterday and it's really good so I've got a long way to go.
Thank you so much! It's definitely something I had to work a long time to be able to knit! 💕
As a cute asian girl (I'm in my thirty's, but still cute. I mean a girl 😜) I must say, it's so nice to see a cute, not asian, girl so excited about and so talented in amigurumi. And a southern one to boot! I always loved accents when I was younger, and now that I live in the accent-less Pacific Northwest, it's nice to stumble across channels that have both something I'm interested in and a super cute accent.
Haha!! Thank you so very much! I definitely love amigurumi, but I don't think I have an accent! Lol!! To other southerners I definitely don't, but I guess to people outside of the south I do! So funny!! I love the Pacific Northwest, it's so beautiful there.
I’ll try to add a comment again❣️ I was #7 to like. 🤦🏽♀️ I love your videos. So informational as always. The typewriter is a cute addition (sound). I’m know how special spending time with a son is❤️ Hope this one goes through.
It did! Thanks so very much, Jersey! I am kind of obsessed with the typewriter sound! Going to try to edit myself a bit more and not add it so often for the next video! 😂
Thank you for mentioning that you borrowed the audiobook from your local library’s digital collection. I’m a librarian and I love to knit/ crochet while listening to audiobooks too!
That's wonderful! I'm a big fan of the library!! 🍄
Another great video, I'm slowly working my way through them all. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so very much! I really appreciate your kind words! 😘😘😘
I read last year a trilogy from Sarah Lark, In the land of the Long White Cloud. Love those books. You may already read them but jus in case you don’t. Also Where the Crawdads Sing. Please, keep recommending books. Thank you for your awesome tutorials!
Thanks so much! I haven't heard of the books from Sarah Lark but will definitely check them out! I loved Where the Crawdads Sing! So so good! 💗💗💗
Thank you! I promised my granddaughter a specific amigurumi voodoo bunny, and now am cramming videos and blog tips. My first two rounds ended with yarn barf from the center pull skein, so I spent a lot of time very gently getting the yarn sorted. I guess I will be sure the other three colors have a good start before I keep going. I watched your Part 1 about mistakes, and both were great. I don't know if you still check comments after so long, but I wondered if you do the embroidery before you stuff body parts or after all pieces are sewn together. I subscribed and will be watching more of your videos!
Awww! You have a very lucky little granddaughter! I typically do the embroidery once the head is sewn and stuffed. If I need to use safety eyes, I add those before I stuff (unless I forget and have to unstuff the head, lol). Hope that helps and good luck with your voodoo bunny!! 🐰
What a pleasure it was to find you 😊
Your son sounds amazing......these are our heroes x I'm proud of him and don't even know him 😀
Is medicinal marijuana a tool you can use for him? Every circumstance is different and I have no doubt you have looked into everything you can.
My hubby has cardiomyopathy and a pacemaker/defibrillator and also takes many, many.....many pills 🙁. I understand the tired bit and just have to commend your son for just getting on with his life.
As an Aussie can I recommend another author to you?
Jane Harper - The Dry, The Survivors, Force of Nature are some good ones.....audio books as well (cause you know the narrator can make all the difference)
I love Little Cotton Rabbit patterns....so well written. In case in your travels you have not seen this pattern writer, Pat Alinejad is also excellent.
Finally, thank you for sharing your tips. They reinforce what I might be doing right, and tweak the little things I can improve on.
Unfortunately, I am a multi project crafter....just can't seem to change and find for me, it allows me to finish things without getting bored. 🤣
Liked and subscribed.....hope your beautiful craft space is restored and pretty again.
Thanks so very much for all the suggestions. We tried CBD oil and it did not agree with his tummy! The neurologist agreed that it was an unfortunate side effect. Thankfully we have a new neurologist at a top rated hospital here. He is getting great care, on less medication and thriving! Thank you so much for your kind words!! Will definitely look up your pattern and book suggestions!! And good luck to your husband! ❤️❤️❤️
I have epilepsy too and when I start having seizures it is like time traveling to me. I take two meds for mine but I understand the feelings about don't say sorry.
Thank you. And thank you for your description of what it's like to have a seizure. 💜💜💜
I am a new subscriber to your channel and I am enjoying it so much!
Thank you so very much! Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!
You inspired me to knit my first amigarumi and I am almost finished with Romeo bear. I'm just now working on the sweater and I CAN'T get the sleeves!! How do you knit the sleeves onto the sweater, there is NO way to turn the "corner" it just all gets too tight and stuck. (I ended up casting on 32 stitches and will sew it after.) Can you do a video on this? BTW I was so happy you mentioned Llane Moriarty--she's my new favorite author. I finished 9 Perfect Strangers and cant wait to read Big Little Lies next! for a fun read I recommend The Rosy Project--it's just a cute story. Also, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry was another great story.
Hello! I'm unable to do tutorials for other designers work. It's against their copyright. You might want to reach out to the designer directly. And thanks for the book recommendations! 🧶🧶🧶
Amazing post... U explain everything really nicely. I too am a big fan of Liane Moriarty. I have it downloaded on Kindle but still have not been able read it as I have a 4 yr old daughter and she takes up most of my time. Had started doing amigurumi a few months back. Made a few toys for my daughter too. She loves them, although they are not even close to perfect but thanks for tips, will surely keep them in mind. Stay safe
Thank you so very much! 4 is such a great age! If your daughter loves the toys you make, that's all that matters! So wonderful to have loved toys! 💗💗💗
@@EliseRoseCrochet true that and thanks for replying... You are such a positive person......pls do keep on spreading positivity and joy as its required in the present scenario😊
Thank you so very much!! 😘😘😘
@@EliseRoseCrochet 😘😘😘
I love audiobooks so much. Have you listened “Where the Crawdads sing” by Delia Owens.? How about “The Perfume Collector” by Kathleen Tessaro? “we were Liars” by E. Lockhart. Young adult book “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio (this one was made into a movie, the book was better). Okay last one, “Eleanor is completely fine”, by Gail Honeyman. Happy listening, Gayle
Oooh! Thank you so much for the recommendations! I read Where the Crawdads Sing and adored it! I will be checking out the other books too! Thank you!! 😘😘😘
I had a friend who asked me to knit two dragons for him, he wanted an ice-blue and white dragon and a pine green and white dragon. 😂 I managed to talk him out of the pine green because it would look rather Christmassy, we went for a light neonish green instead 😊
How fun!! And good swaying him to the better green for the dragon! Sounds adorable!
Thank you
Very good
Thank you! 🐷🐷🐷
You may have read or maybe not but Cleo by Helen Brown is such a good book, thought you'd like it especially since you have cats and it is a book about a family and their cat. My book club just finished reading it. :)
Thank you for sharing!! I'll check it out! ❤️❤️❤️
You might like The Land by Aleron Kong. All them have audiobooks. They're fantasy/adventure
Thank you so much! Will look it up! Always love a good book recommendation!
So.... I like sewing amigurumis :D But I also like seamless patterns ;)
Seamless amigurumi patterns are so nice, especially after you've worked on one that had a lot of seaming! 🍄
@@EliseRoseCrochet It's good ro have variety and it's good to have a choice :)
I have the same issue using cotton yarns the thick tuff cotton yarns. I made a beautiful backpack purse it caused me so much pain I'm not sure if I want to remake it lol , I used the peaches and creme kind the giant cone from Walmart. I thought well what if I used a different kind of yarn 🧶 for it but the thickness seems perfect for it really IDK what to do honestly. If I do a tutorial and crochet other projects throughout the day my elbows and upper arms will get arthritis in em badly, I think I crochet too much lol 😊 IDK maybe you know a yarn that is beautiful enough and durable enough for a backpack 🎒 but not as tough as the peaches and creme,if you can think of one let me know. Thanks Elise.
🤩🤩🤩
💗💗💗
Thank you for all your video's; as always, very inspiring!! a Recommendation for a book: The Art of Racing in the Rain
by Garth Stein . My friend said; this time; she loved the book, as well as the Movie! Which is not always the case; when you do both.
I only watched the movie and it is wOnderful! Sad, funny, romantic and also men loves it😉
Thank you for the recommendation! I will definitely check it out!! 📚📚📚
i am alittel late to the party buttt i love to seam it is my favorite part
I find it very relaxing! 🧶🧶🧶
Have u read Where the Crawdads Sing? I read it twice I loved it so much.
Yes!!! One of my favorite books ever!! ❤️
Just started the pig from Pica Pau, the first book. On his nose, it is worked in a foundation chain and joined at the end. Mine doesn't look the little nose on the pig. Can you advise please? I usually make them in the round. Great tips. Thank you from Tennessee
That one took me a while to work my mind around but once you get the technique it's simple. Here's a great tutorial from All About Ami for How to Crochet Around a Foundation Chain: www.allaboutami.com/foundationchain/
Hope that helps!! 💓💓💓
Thank you for your videos, I’ve just discovered them today. I am new to crocheting and I have (ambitiously) started with an amigurumi as my first project. Unfortunately whilst making the head of my project it’s turned out sausage shaped/tubular, is this because I’m holding my wool/yarn too tightly?
That's awesome! It definitely could be the issue. Just remember your first few projects will be all about learning techniques and don't worry too much about the outcome. Also check out my Amigurumi 101 series! 💗
LePetitSaint Crochet Many thanks for your response. I have started watching your 101 video, really useful thank you. Love how you keep your original projects, it’s so rewarding to see progress you’ve made and the learning process :) I’d be so chuffed if I could make amigurumi like your first bunny!
@@childsplaygurl thanks so much! It is great to see the progress! Also just know that I had been crocheting for a while before I started making amigurumi so that definitely helped! I would love to know how you do and please reach out if you have any other questions or suggestions for videos!
Hi,
I would like to know where to find the alligator toy pattern at the beginning of the video. If you could, please ?
Thank you for these videos. They’re very helpful. I’m more used to knitting toys, and there are some real differences between knitting and crocheting them.
What hook size did you use with the paint box cotton DK?
The general rule is to go down two hook sizes from the recommended hook size on the yarn label. Hope that helps! 💞
Hi! Wonderful demo. Is there a pattern for Miss Piggy’s dress. And is she the same doll as the 3 little pigs?
Hello! Thank you! The pig and dress are by the designer Little Cotton Rabbits. You can find her patterns on Etsy, Ravelry or her own website. The dress is a modification of the Little Cotton Rabbits dress and is by SuzyMarie on Ravelry. You'll find all her designs here: www.ravelry.com/projects/suzymarie?set=&page=&search=&sort=status&view=thumbnail 💛
@@EliseRoseCrochet 💕 Back at ya! Thank you so much. You are such an inspiration. I’m wanting to emulate ya! 🥰
Hi! Sorry about your craft room :( I LOVE everything you make!!! My mom bought the “Knitted Animal Friends,” too! We both love these animals and YOU! I just want to know.... my mom ordered and received the Cascade 220 that you mention for their bodies (she’s knitting the adorable owl), and Cascade Heritage for clothing. But in my notes lol, I had written down those Cascade yarns as well as Barrocco Vintage Yarn for their bodies and Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmere for their clothes. I’m wondering which yarn to use. Do you use a combination of these yarns? What are your current favorites? What are you using now? There is not a knit shop near me. Thank you! ~Jennifer
Hello! Thank you so very much! Thankfully the craft room is all fixed now! For the Knitted Animal Friends I only use the Cascade 220 for the bodies and the Heritage for the clothing. For the Berroco Vintage I knit the Little Cotton Rabbits bodies with it. And the Debbie Bliss I use for their clothing. I also use the Berroco Vintage for almost all of the toys I crochet. I hope that helps, but don't hesitate to ask me to clarify if something doesn't make sense! 😊
I stare in delight at the things in the craft room! Sometimes I miss the video entirely!
Can you please send me the link on the rabbit plush you did??
Would be happy to. Can you describe the rabbit? That will help me know which one exactly it is.
hey , i have a dk yarn and 3,5 mm hook . my stitches are so tight and its annoying i cant even count them . what should i do
I would start experimenting to see what weight yarn and size hook worked best for my own personal tension. Don't be afraid to change the yarns and/or hooks up to see what works best for you! Good luck!! 🍄
@@EliseRoseCrochet Thank you , just subbed
Whilst I enjoy and understand your yarn promotions, It's not for me. I have never bought a new ball of yarn because I simply cannot afford them. Because I am quite new at crotchet/amigurumi I am learning with charity shop yarns. Believe me when I say that cotton yarns never crop up, why, I don't know. When I am confident that I can do it well I will buy yarn for a particular project. Till then it's odd's and sod's. (UK phrase) . If anyone has any spare yarns I would be so grateful but I live in Melbourne Australia, so thats unlikely. I'm in my 80's so I keep going on. Hi! to everyone.
I think that's wonderful that you're able to find yarns at the charity shops!! Here in the US I've never seen that before, but maybe there are some! I'll have to keep my eyes out! 🧶🧶🧶
What is the best yarn to use for Amigurumi
Here's a video I made all about how to chose the best yarns for amigurumi. Hope it helps! ua-cam.com/video/Oxn_MEe1WC8/v-deo.html ❤️
