My shop is currently sold out! I will be having a restock on December 2nd, 2024 and December 9th, 2024. Please sign up to my email newsletter using the link provided to receive updates about restocks: www.nichetcrochet.com/email-signup
I have what you call "Hang Nails" and I have no clue what causes them as well and I have no name for them too. My mother always told me I was dehydrated but they always appear even when I drink a lot of fluids.
My dad kinda pointed out that Will It Rat? Is technically a science experiment. It has a Control (Base Rat) a variable (Different Yarn for the Rat) starts with a Hypothesis, and the Experiment is repeatable. So, you are now officially a Science Channel/lh Minor edit: changed the control to a variable (as in, the word)
"around the corner" implies we're going to it, excited for what's to come "across the street" implies christmas is stalking me and im scared, which is more accurate honestly
Some cursed material ideas; human hair, those peelable twizzlers, sweet tart rope, cooked spaghetti, zippers, fiber optic cable, fairy lights, leather strips, shoe laces, floss, dandelions and their stems, rat tails from rat toys so it’s a rat out of rat tails, and a very stupid idea- barbed wire
1:05 babe you gotta use a mask for materials like this! a respirator specifically would be good at blocking out the small particles or crochet outdoors so theres no floaties in your home . twine rat's name could be Twindle
I’m like 99% sure the hangnail skin thing is related to dryness. I find that when I make a conscious effort to use moisturizer after washing my hands, especially in the winter it happens less. I’m looking forwards to seeing all the different rats that may or may not come into existence throughout this series
Of course be careful with moisturizing! If it’s painful/sensitive, moisturizing (before it heals) might make it very irritated. Neosporin is a good healing cream, if you need a recommendation
I get the same thing. An abrasion injury. Then the cut part EDGES dry out and travel deeper and get more pronounced. It's hard to have lotion or stuff on my hands during the day so when it gets really bothersome I put moisturizing antibiotic on at night and wear cloth gloves.
Okay, I just noticed the plaque in the background in the center-right of the frame. I know it says "something DAY" there, and the footage is mirrored. But I first read it as "something YAOI" and I can't unsee it for the life of me.
It says "What DAY is it?" Which is so random and funny I bought it at Meijer. I have a bigger one attached to my front door that says "Those teeth aren't going to BRUSH themselves!"
Suggestion for the next episode of "Will it Rat?" 25 mm yarn! Will the giant fluffy yarn be durable enough to rat? Will it shed and fall apart everywhere, or will we have a HUGE rat? I'm excited to see your rats!
23:00 the wither jump-scare, music, and immediate return to normal literally made me burst out laughing and i had to pause the video and rewatched it three times
I think even if you just didn't want to continue the pipe cleaner rat because it was annoying is a good enough reason to stop so don't worry haha thank you for these videos!
I really like the potential for growth too! As Nichet(?) gets better at ratting with weird stuff, he can use all the things he's learned to make a successful pipe cleaner rat that doesn't irritate his lungs!
those trees you hate are called bradford/callery pears, and theyre planted by developers and landscapers because they grow very quickly. an 8 year old tree can grown up to 15 feet (for reference an oak tree takes 10 years to reach that height, in very good conditions). to me they smell like week old vomit and sadness.
17:58 re: the inside joke references, my family always calls them "animals", which in itself is an inside joke reference lol. "getting someone's animals" means you understand the way they communicate and their sense of humor. I love that sort of thing, its an underrated type of intimacy
Yea, plant more native plants and plants for pollinators! I guess I personally angered this bee while cleaning up the garden with my mom (she kicked me out of the garden because the rose bush cut me up) so I was like a foot away from the garden putting stuff in the bag. This bee flew all the way to me and stung my leg. My mom was still pulling weeds and I shouted at her. I'm not allergic is the good news and I left the thistle alone for the bees, so they didn't try to attack me. Left a bruise, but I was like did this bee just go out of its way to get me?
The first, and so far only, time i have been stung by anything was a wasp this summer. I was just getting out of the car, and it flew UP my pant leg and started stinging me while i was walking. I didnt see it, i didnt hear it, and i didnt even feel it on my leg. My leg just started hurting so bad I almost couldn't walk. I was so confused, too, because every few steps I would feel another spot starting to hurt. I got inside and shook out my pants, but I still didn't see anything. I counted 7-9 sting spots, from my mid calf to just above my knee. I think it flew out after getting inside because we found it a few minutes later and my mother killed it with an electric fly swatter lol.
Oh my gosh, the inside jokes/references... I did that today and my brother finished the quote while my dad was standing there like "Whuuuuh" It was "You mean your salami leg, their salami leg, his salami leg, or Carl's shoes?" which is from Jimmy Neutron for the uninformed. I tried to find a video of that quote to explain, and the only one I found was in a foreign language, it was tragic... But the joy of hearing my brother say "or Carl's shoes" was priceless!
This series has become my favorite on this website. I also didn't realize YOU were the creator of the clown possum pattern I've wanted for so long, I definitely just went and bought that pattern (and a few others) as soon as I put 2 and 2 together. Keep up the great work!!
@@Nichet.Crochet I recommend Aquaphore!! That stuff saved my friggin life when I was on Accutane (accutane is a medication that dries your skin out a LOT). I also recommend nail oil for the hangnail thing specifically. I find that it helps.
@@Nichet.CrochetIf your eczema is in the form of red iritated itchy areas and you have time to experiment, I suggest oatmeal baths. A family member has a good experience with them. You boil rolled oats in water, until the water becomes milky white and slimy (should take about 10-15 min, I don't remember precisely), let cool down to a comfortable temperature, then soak your hands in it as long as it is comfortable for you, but probably not less than 5-10 min. Results should be visible immediately after bath. Repeat every three days. I don't remember precisely the amount of rolled oats needed, the family member boiled about two cups in water and then diluted it for a bath for a larger body area, so I guess not more than half a cup would be needed for hands, but probably even less.
@@Nichet.CrochetAlso I recommend to repeat at least twice a day (but the more times the better) this routine: moisturize - wait 5 min - heal - wait 5 min. By "moisturize" I mean a thick layer of moisturizing cream, preferably one with a lot of glycerine/glycerol (I don't suggest creams with urea or parabens as they can be irritating and make itching worse - although producers suggest them for eczema! - my family has bad experiences with such creams). By "heal" I mean a thin layer of cream or paste with zinc oxide (we especially like one with zinc oxide and white ichthyol, it's called Vitella Ictamo, but I live in Europe, it's probably not available in States. But we previously used some other common cream with zinc oxide and it was also helpful.) By "wait 5 min" I mean leaving the stuff on the skin for 5 min without wiping it off accidentally or putting clothing on the area. I'm sorry for the long comment, I'm sure you've already tried a lot of things and maybe you don't have time or mood to try new things at the moment, it's OK, but I hope it might be helpful for you or for others.
I also hate daylight savings with a passion, I loved driving home and then being able to watch the sunset with my partner in the evening. Now I watch the sun set at work, and then I still have to continue to work the whole dang time.
It would be teeny tiny, so I’m not sure you would even have the hook for it, but dental floss could be interesting to use 👀 you could potentially use several strands or braid it to bulk it up a little
Ooh it might be really rough to work with, but sisal rope would probably work as well. It even comes in different diameters so you could pick a thinner one
Amen! I’ve only ever paid for one crochet pattern until I found your channel. I bought four of your patterns and I’ve never been more happy about spending money on patterns. 💜
You can totally crochet with rubber bands, just add a rubber band to the hook whenever you would yarn over, it's kinda hard to explain but I made a granny square like that one time as a kid.
17:39 yes I do this too!! sometimes I purposefully type "ime" instead of "I'm" as a reference to that one twitter post thats like "ime ate years oald today" "8 years old and still can't spell" "ime a cat" anyway, very cute rat!! the ears being a little closer together and pretty perked up with the legs being spread farther apart compared to the other one (33:28) makes me think he's gotten startled by something or jumping up in shock
I love this series, pls never stop rat-ing. Also side note- you remind me of this British comedian that I used to LOVE named Jon Richardson, you look a lot like him and even have similar mannerisms!
AMEN! No more stinky trees! No more invasive species! And no more turning a tiny intersection into a 'round a bout' that isn't really a 'round a bout' at all but just a tree planted in the middle of an intersection.
I thoroughly look forward to will it rat every couple weeks!! I love listening to you just talk while crocheting X3 Makes for good listening while I’m doing my own work
The memes that live rent free in my head are all audio for some reason. Like whenever someone says "correct" in a very enunciated tone I think of that Vine that goes, "Ah, that is not correcT. Because according to the encyclopedia of -gibberish-". It's hard to hold myself back in meetings. I got your mini trash trio patterns a while back and they worked up great! The spouse and I love our trash sonas! I especially love the little toes on the feet.
I think I like the look of the scrubby yarn a little bit more. All the little hairs add a lot of character. But I like the base texture of the twine and how that looks. It's a bit more defined and the stiffness makes the stitches very obvious which is a cool look. Edit: Right after I resumed stitch definition was complimented haha. And the name my brain came up with is Bindle.
I am in full agreement on the seasons rant AND the tree rant. Those trees are also deliberately planted everywhere where I live (in WA state) and they smell so bad. Here, the smell is described with a word that is not PG or UA-cam friendly, but that is extremely accurate… they are also terrible for seasonal allergies. I don’t understand why they are such a popular choice.
I feel iinda bad about suggesting plarn and making you go out of your way to get plastic bags... I thought it'd be a cool recycling project (maybe people you know have disposable bags they want to get rid of?). But, anyway, thanks you for this series. You make me smile 😊
I'll have a restock sometime in early December for Christmas! I have a few in-person events coming up so I haven't had time to plan out an online restock 😅
The twine rat reminds me of my dearly beloved rat Nala! She was the first true pet I ever owned, and I loved her to death. She's been gone for over a decade at this point, but you never forget those goofy little chaos potatoes. I'd love it if you named your rat after her, but I can understand if that's weird lmao. Maybe something more on-the-nose, like Greyson, then?
I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel. I love this series and I can't wait to see what you'll come up with next. I'll be forever grateful to the UA-cam algorithm ❤
Not finishing the pipe cleaner rat was completely understandable, I used to play with pipe cleaner as a kid so I know how it can be a pain to work with 😅 I hope no one really got on your case for stopping when you did, don’t feel pressured to continue something that could potentially put you at risk. Your physical health should always come first ❤
I don’t think this would be too difficult, but since i watch these while embroidering maybe you could do a rat with fabric scraps or embroidery thread. A little tiny thread rat sounds adorable to me
Crocheting is very cool! The little rats you make are cute. I love this series. You are amazing at making the rats. If you ever plan on finishing the pipe cleaner rat (most likley not) I recommend wearing a mask to help prevent inhalation of the particles. ^^ (Like the common cloth mask.)
100% agree with daylight savings, it SUCKS in winter. I do field work all the way through December and we had to start an hour earlier bc the sun sets at like 4:30pm here. It’s SO ANNOYING it literally doesn’t save daylight unless you get up super early
Great sponsor - finally something I actually enjoy spending money on! :D But holy molly, how can you crochet without even LOOKING? I keep having a hard time finding my stitches WITH MY EYES GLUED TO MY WORK ...
When I was a teenager and formally learning to type, I didn't gain the ability to type without looking in the amount of time it took to take the class. My mom reassured me by saying it would come with time, and that I just had to keep typing. Lo and behold, I've typed this whole comment without looking at the keyboard. So I can definitely see it as a case of just keep practicing! I also always have to look at my work to see where the stitches are, but when I used some fluffy yarn recently, I had to practice more with feel since it was nearly futile to try to see the stitches.
This is a pretty great series. I think it'd be interesting to see if you could make a rat out of old cords, like USB cords or headphones. Thanks for uploading :)
I don't usually comment on videos commenting BUT this is the second one of these "will it rat?"s that I have watched and I cannot wait to watch more, buy a rat, and continue to say "amen" to planting native trees instead of stinky invasive ones
11:52 there's a crochet subclass called loomigurumi (portmanteau of rainbow loom and amigurumi)!! you don't actually have to make a long string, you can just use a new band for each stitch, and i'm pretty sure your rat pattern would still work!!!! but i understand wanting to take the Band Strand approach for consistency's sake.
i appreciate that you memorized the liberal lightbulb meme down to the exact misspelling, punctuation, and emojis. your memes of choice are all classics in my heart. and amen for native plants!
you are the definition of a chill guy, I love this video so much it's just so chill, you're just crocheting and chatting about literally anything and it'ss entertaining and simple the 'WILL IT RAT' series is officially my comfort show
Man I'm so happy to see a new episode of Will It Rat. Your style of video is very cozy, and it's been kinda stormy lately. Edit: man, Indiana is cold as hell. I like winter but even I can totally understand hating it in like Indiana or Illinois. I wonder if anyone has made yarn from synthetic hair. Crocheting a rat from synthetic hair without it being spun into a thread or yarn seems difficult. Also, if you've ever seen how metal thread is made, it's in strips that are twisted into strands. Maybe you could try doing that with fabric and then crochet that? Also it's always good to see fellow local flora enthusiasts. SUPPORT YOUR NATIVE POLLINATORS
Yay! A new will it rat! I LOVE the Christmas/Halloween vibes! Honestly no need to hurt yourself over art! ❤ Plus love a way you can use the pipe cleaners for something else! Genius! Hard rat ;) I love obscure memes. So funny. Day lights saving is a huge bummer. We should just do away with it. This rat is so cute. I love how it turned out! I really can’t wait to see what other kind of rats you can make !!

I vote for naming the rat "...the WITHER? 😱"
Yes!
seconded!!
Heck, yeah, I love the heck out of "WILL IT RAT?" If twine rats, I may have something to make for the cat rescue where I volunteer.
Oooo that’s such a perfect idea!😂
Hemp, and even the scrubby yarn used for the first episode, are good options , too (just check the safety of the material).
My dad kinda pointed out that Will It Rat? Is technically a science experiment.
It has a Control (Base Rat) a variable (Different Yarn for the Rat) starts with a Hypothesis, and the Experiment is repeatable.
So, you are now officially a Science Channel/lh
Minor edit: changed the control to a variable (as in, the word)
I always dreamed of becoming a scientist
does this make all produced animals lab rats?
@harpress Possibly
@@harpressLAB RATS LAB RATS LAB RATS!!
I also has a solid and well defined qualitative dependent variable: it does rat, or it does not
Ah yes, my favorite way to describe imminent Christmas: "Christmas is right across the street." 😂❤
LMAO
This is what I would say during Christmas if I had a spoopy house and someone complained. "Christmas is RIGHT across the street"
He looks like a little snowy rat! Just in time for Christmas!
"around the corner" implies we're going to it, excited for what's to come
"across the street" implies christmas is stalking me and im scared, which is more accurate honestly
I actually love it though
Some cursed material ideas; human hair, those peelable twizzlers, sweet tart rope, cooked spaghetti, zippers, fiber optic cable, fairy lights, leather strips, shoe laces, floss, dandelions and their stems, rat tails from rat toys so it’s a rat out of rat tails, and a very stupid idea- barbed wire
Human hair is commercially available as well, its used for wigs and in the beauty industry.

1:05 babe you gotta use a mask for materials like this! a respirator specifically would be good at blocking out the small particles or crochet outdoors so theres no floaties in your home . twine rat's name could be Twindle

Agreed fellow ratty 🤝

As a fellow rat, I approve of your approval

Neosporin is a good healing cream, if you need a recommendation

BRADFORD PEAR! BRADFORD PEAR! BRADFORD PEAR! THE STINKY TREE! THEY’RE ILLEGAL TO PLANT NOW! (At least where I live)
I'd be interested to see a chart from "yarn" to "pipe cleaner" of all the materials for crochet and you add more as you continue the series!
YES rat tier ranking
Okay, I just noticed the plaque in the background in the center-right of the frame. I know it says "something DAY" there, and the footage is mirrored. But I first read it as "something YAOI" and I can't unsee it for the life of me.
"what day", but I also saw yaoi
It says "What DAY is it?" Which is so random and funny I bought it at Meijer. I have a bigger one attached to my front door that says "Those teeth aren't going to BRUSH themselves!"
@@Nichet.Crochet it's good to see doors advocating for good dental hygiene ❤️
@@Nichet.CrochetWonderful and threatening sign!

TAKO
YAKI
but I would have also been fine with YAOI
Everytime a new "will it rat?" video pops on my feed I excitedly chant "RAT! RAT! RAT! RAT!" as I watch them, i am fully invested
I saw the title and panicked because I thought you meant like jute/hemp twine, the brown scratchy stuff, and feared for your hands!
I considered it... if I did that I'd probably wear gloves
I crocheted an outside tablecloth and alternated between normal twine and hemp twine. Worked well.
The number of times I've said "the gasp I ghuspt"
Suggestion for the next episode of "Will it Rat?"
25 mm yarn! Will the giant fluffy yarn be durable enough to rat? Will it shed and fall apart everywhere, or will we have a HUGE rat?
I'm excited to see your rats!
im darning socks while watching this and im 100% the "how it feels to listen to podcasts" meme
23:00 the wither jump-scare, music, and immediate return to normal literally made me burst out laughing and i had to pause the video and rewatched it three times
amen to planting native plants, AND trees that actually bear fruit -- three cheers for foraging! hip hip hooray
i thought the little sign in the background said "YAOI" until i realized it was backwards because of the recording😭
crochet yaoi paddle?
deep cut
It says "What Day!" Lol. But I can see it the way you see it. I had to flip my phone to the side to even find the sign. 😂😂
I think even if you just didn't want to continue the pipe cleaner rat because it was annoying is a good enough reason to stop so don't worry haha thank you for these videos!
I really like the potential for growth too! As Nichet(?) gets better at ratting with weird stuff, he can use all the things he's learned to make a successful pipe cleaner rat that doesn't irritate his lungs!
I am SO invested in this saga it's ridiculous. Can't wait for the next episode.
those trees you hate are called bradford/callery pears, and theyre planted by developers and landscapers because they grow very quickly. an 8 year old tree can grown up to 15 feet (for reference an oak tree takes 10 years to reach that height, in very good conditions). to me they smell like week old vomit and sadness.
Also there are native in the Midwest pears and apparently they don't smell as bad!
34:48 "Strawberries after you leave them in the fridge for a week" 😆
Please keep up with this series im addicted and we absolutely need a tier list of rats that gets updated each episode
17:58 re: the inside joke references, my family always calls them "animals", which in itself is an inside joke reference lol. "getting someone's animals" means you understand the way they communicate and their sense of humor. I love that sort of thing, its an underrated type of intimacy
Maybe a paracord rat? 🤔
And maybe you could fill one of your rat with sponges pieces so the final rat is a sponge 😁
Oooo!! A scrubby yarn rat sponge would be so cool!

You could try making a rat out of garden tie tape, that stretchy green plastic tape people use to hold plants up and such
That would be a good spring project 🌼
It would also be waterproof, so if you stuffed it with waterproof material you could have a garden rat

I got your mini trash trio patterns a while back and they worked up great! The spouse and I love our trash sonas! I especially love the little toes on the feet.
I think I like the look of the scrubby yarn a little bit more. All the little hairs add a lot of character. But I like the base texture of the twine and how that looks. It's a bit more defined and the stiffness makes the stitches very obvious which is a cool look.
Edit: Right after I resumed stitch definition was complimented haha. And the name my brain came up with is Bindle.
I'm into the festive Christmas bats on the wall .
I am in full agreement on the seasons rant AND the tree rant. Those trees are also deliberately planted everywhere where I live (in WA state) and they smell so bad. Here, the smell is described with a word that is not PG or UA-cam friendly, but that is extremely accurate… they are also terrible for seasonal allergies. I don’t understand why they are such a popular choice.
i think a ribbon rat could be so cool! (and festive)
I feel iinda bad about suggesting plarn and making you go out of your way to get plastic bags... I thought it'd be a cool recycling project (maybe people you know have disposable bags they want to get rid of?). But, anyway, thanks you for this series. You make me smile 😊
I think I've collected enough so far. Plarn rat will soon be real
Something about the texture of the twine really fits a rat, IMO
Congrats your shop is just about totally sold out wow!
I'll have a restock sometime in early December for Christmas! I have a few in-person events coming up so I haven't had time to plan out an online restock 😅
@@Nichet.Crochet champagne problems!
A real suggestion - hay baling twine - the plastic kind
The twine rat reminds me of my dearly beloved rat Nala! She was the first true pet I ever owned, and I loved her to death. She's been gone for over a decade at this point, but you never forget those goofy little chaos potatoes. I'd love it if you named your rat after her, but I can understand if that's weird lmao. Maybe something more on-the-nose, like Greyson, then?
I am very impressed by your ability to talk and crochet (with increases, presumably) at the same time
I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel. I love this series and I can't wait to see what you'll come up with next. I'll be forever grateful to the UA-cam algorithm ❤
24:26 Native plant supremacy!
Also I absolutely _adore_ your rats and other critters, they're so cute! they're just such,,, lil guys!!
Not finishing the pipe cleaner rat was completely understandable, I used to play with pipe cleaner as a kid so I know how it can be a pain to work with 😅 I hope no one really got on your case for stopping when you did, don’t feel pressured to continue something that could potentially put you at risk. Your physical health should always come first ❤
I'm obsessed with the rats. Huge fan. Definitely going to buy the pattern and strongly considering attempting a cursed rat of my own
Maybe balloon ribbon, floral wire, or crepe paper streamers? You can avoid dry and peeling cuticles by using cuticle oil!
I don’t think this would be too difficult, but since i watch these while embroidering maybe you could do a rat with fabric scraps or embroidery thread. A little tiny thread rat sounds adorable to me
Thread rat!
Stinky tree is a bradford pear
Crocheting is very cool! The little rats you make are cute. I love this series. You are amazing at making the rats.
If you ever plan on finishing the pipe cleaner rat (most likley not) I recommend wearing a mask to help prevent inhalation of the particles. ^^ (Like the common cloth mask.)
The twine rat would be the BEST cat toy
The pink details are everything on this lil guy. 😂 I want it.
I’m weirdly obsessed with these videos after I found you the other day! Keep up the good work!
Try old vcr tape ( beautiful, shiny, black - I made a clutch purse from vcr tape) or even cassette tape stuff
100% agree with daylight savings, it SUCKS in winter. I do field work all the way through December and we had to start an hour earlier bc the sun sets at like 4:30pm here. It’s SO ANNOYING it literally doesn’t save daylight unless you get up super early
Great sponsor - finally something I actually enjoy spending money on! :D
But holy molly, how can you crochet without even LOOKING? I keep having a hard time finding my stitches WITH MY EYES GLUED TO MY WORK ...
I've been doing this for 8 years so it's just natural to me 🤷♂️ I think anyone could do it with practice LOL
When I was a teenager and formally learning to type, I didn't gain the ability to type without looking in the amount of time it took to take the class. My mom reassured me by saying it would come with time, and that I just had to keep typing. Lo and behold, I've typed this whole comment without looking at the keyboard. So I can definitely see it as a case of just keep practicing!
I also always have to look at my work to see where the stitches are, but when I used some fluffy yarn recently, I had to practice more with feel since it was nearly futile to try to see the stitches.
Try experimenting with how loose or tight you keep your crochet
Good evening Nichet your vibes are very Elijah Wood today and I love it
This is a pretty great series. I think it'd be interesting to see if you could make a rat out of old cords, like USB cords or headphones. Thanks for uploading :)
everytime i see will it rat in the feed, i involuntarily pog and im not even kidding
I don't usually comment on videos commenting BUT this is the second one of these "will it rat?"s that I have watched and I cannot wait to watch more, buy a rat, and continue to say "amen" to planting native trees instead of stinky invasive ones
My fingers are the same way!! Always have been for all 30 years of my life! I feel your pain.
11:52 there's a crochet subclass called loomigurumi (portmanteau of rainbow loom and amigurumi)!! you don't actually have to make a long string, you can just use a new band for each stitch, and i'm pretty sure your rat pattern would still work!!!! but i understand wanting to take the Band Strand approach for consistency's sake.
Commenting to hopefully boost this comment in the algo and save our boy a bunch of time stringing rubber bands together ;-;
Just found this video on my fyp. UA-cam finally doing a good job. Dropping a sub, i love your plushies and your humor is contagious.
The Gary possum is just the best thing ever! I’m having a SpongeBob theme birthday next week and I wish he was a guest 😆😆
i appreciate that you memorized the liberal lightbulb meme down to the exact misspelling, punctuation, and emojis. your memes of choice are all classics in my heart. and amen for native plants!
The perfect intersection of rat, craft, and unhinged challenge videos. This series is beautiful 🎉
‼️ I am OBSESSED with "Will it Rat" ❤
I vote we name the new rat "Mx. Twine My Best"!!!!!!!
you are the definition of a chill guy, I love this video so much it's just so chill, you're just crocheting and chatting about literally anything and it'ss entertaining and simple
the 'WILL IT RAT' series is officially my comfort show
The rat made of twine looks like something you'd see on a highschool teacher's desk or bookshelf!
Yay stinky trees 🫣😄
23:27 the nefarious callery pear
Man I'm so happy to see a new episode of Will It Rat. Your style of video is very cozy, and it's been kinda stormy lately.
Edit: man, Indiana is cold as hell. I like winter but even I can totally understand hating it in like Indiana or Illinois.
I wonder if anyone has made yarn from synthetic hair. Crocheting a rat from synthetic hair without it being spun into a thread or yarn seems difficult. Also, if you've ever seen how metal thread is made, it's in strips that are twisted into strands. Maybe you could try doing that with fabric and then crochet that?
Also it's always good to see fellow local flora enthusiasts. SUPPORT YOUR NATIVE POLLINATORS
You could probably take plastic bags from a recycling drop off point, found in many grocery stores
You should totally do jewelry wire!! Ive seen people crochet flowers with it before
Yay! A new will it rat! I LOVE the Christmas/Halloween vibes! Honestly no need to hurt yourself over art! ❤ Plus love a way you can use the pipe cleaners for something else! Genius! Hard rat ;) I love obscure memes. So funny. Day lights saving is a huge bummer. We should just do away with it. This rat is so cute. I love how it turned out! I really can’t wait to see what other kind of rats you can make !!
will it rat series is like the best thing to ever come out of this planet, earth’s best possible legacy. Cheese rat is my favorite.
