- The number of emails I get from Temu is ridiculous. Will putting my own spin on some of their designs solve this problem? I'm guessing not, but it'll be fun to try!

Credit to the original designer will be linked here if I can find them (no luck yet). For anyone interested, the basic written pattern for my skull design and the colourwork grid are now available for the Yarn Hoard on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=61550771
I'm so glad you credited the actual designer. Temu is notorious for they're immoral senselessness of stealing hard working designers work
I haven't managed to find an original creator for this particular design, at least not yet. But yeah, from what I've heard the level of plagiarism is ridiculous to the point of even driving the original designers to stop selling their work completely.
I've never trusted stuff like Wish, Temu, or Shein (especially since the story about the women who got chemical poisoning from shein came about), but their sketchy practices have prompted me to start planning how to crochet my own ita bag 😂 I refuse to give them money, so it forces me to get even more creative!
Yes! I love that we can just be like, "I can do that myself" (at least in some cases).
To be fair I heard Temu is going through a lawsuit for selling personal information including payment card info so I get not liking them. They always felt sketchy/too good to be true
When it's too good a deal to be true, it is. Dollar stores don't help either.
It's just another shein, wish, etc site none of them are good for quality, accuracy, environmentally, humane the list goes on. Wish more ppl knew this and had better alternatives they could afford.
They also sell stolen artwork
On top of people also suing them for literally stealing designs, and also not sending what was advertised and refusing to do anything
They also use sweatshops to make some of their stuff.
Im so happy I never fell into the Temu trap! 😂 I refuse to buy anything from them.... I absolutely love how your pattern turned out!! 😍 I want to make a jumper now 😂❤
The 🍵🐄 editing in the intro was funny! The first try of this vest looked good, I hope you enjoy wearing it once you make the adjustment to the junper :) I don't wear skulls, but the design turned out great.
I love how the vest turned out!! I have refused to work with them as well. I know that many of these sites steal art and I just hate to promote them... that being said.... if you are buying supplies I get it. The global economy being so topsy-turvy; affordable shopping options are important. I just can't promote particularly the theft from small creators and makers.
That's exactly how I feel. I personally don't want to support or promote them (for a number of reasons) but given the whole cost-of-living crisis, I get why some people do.
That's a fantastic top. Don't change it to a jumper. It's super cute on you. You should also show off the inside because it's looks as fantastic as the front. Well, the front looks better but, from a crocheter standpoint, that neat tidy inside shows off your talent also.
I think you did a great job with the skulls! And younare right, TeaMoo does send out way too many emails and messages😅 I know, cause I buy a lot of crafting items from them. Mostly buttons and things that for some reason I can't find in my local Walmart and don't feel like.driving an hour in either direction to go to Michael's or JoAnn's just to find out THEIR limited selection also does not work for me.
I do a lot of online gaming and because of that I get loaded up with Temu ads, but I just ignore them. I like some things, don't like others, and it really no different (to me) than ordering from Amazon.
You are allowed to not like a company for whatever reason. I hate Hobby Lobby and that gets people's panties in a bunch 😂 But everyone has a reason for what they like or don't like and sometimes its just something people have to decide to either hate everyone that disagrees with them or let people live their lives because "its their life"
Personally, when I saw that clip and you said you forgot to donthe shaping, I was hoping you would just turn it into a blanket. It would certainly be a fun blanket! I am just so impressed with your amount of focus on these bigger projects. Thats why I make amigurumi and baby stuff, because my attention span is like 0
Stunning design, I love it! I know you didn't quite get what you intended but it's still bloody good! Amazing colourwork - so inspiring.
I think it would be cute if you added a hood to turn it into a short sleeved hoodie :D
Yes it is so much better than the one on Temu. Your talent is truly amazing.
This is one of my fave patterns of yours - I love how the fine white lines look like little bones 💀🖤 it would look cool as the vest with a skull hood, or add sleeves with arm bones into the pattern
Considering Temu plagiarizes other people's work without their consent, and also harass creators non stop... This video is a polite way to tell them you don't want them or need them in your life!
It is rocking Awesome! Take THAT teemoo!
I love it, as a design and as a T-shirt. Maybe narrower shoulders should have been a clue, try measuring your existing vests for measurements. You could always make it into a pillow ❤
I get a ton of 🫖🐄 ads on YT, but havent succumbed to purchasing from them. Judging from you and other commenters, looks like I dodged some drama?
I LOVE your jumper! Your skill with wearables astounds me. It wasnt that many videos ago that you started to experiment. And to recover the back of the jumper and not frog/redo speaks volumes. Youve got the knack, for sure!!
Speaking of skulls on clothing, I hope what I'm asking isn't an annoying Northern Hemisphere question, but here Halloween is synonymous with cold, plants dying back, trees shedding leaves, etc. Basically, life winding down for winter. What does Halloween "look" like in Australia as my pea-brain can't seem to square up creepy things with lengthening days, daffodils and hay fever. 🤔😊
I am not a fan of sweaters, vests, jumpers, or pull-overs, but I absolutely love this! I would probably even wear it if it had sleeves and buttoned up the front.
that skull vest would look really cute with a hood, tbh :) Looks great!
Wow, great colourwork and it'll make a really nice jumper. It's cool to see your clothing makes progress over time. Your watermelon skirt was really cool too
I wonder if you used a lighter yarn if your design would fit the vest measurements without changing much other than the sides of the panels.... oh lol you just said that! Anyway well done. You can forget the sleeves and call it a slip over which seems so popular these days
I love your hair pulled back! I don’t think I’ve seen a video with it like that yet. ❤ love this design too!
I love the intricate work you devoted to the crocheting of the skulls. WOW!
That is such an attractive garment. I love that you created that out of your brain for us.
To be fair, my brain didn't do too much of the work 😂. Just built upon the design that was already there.
Super cute and amazing work!
That came out amazing! 😍
Love how it turned out!
I love you. I have a hoodie pattern, bit like a snood with fox ears. Tea-Moo keep asking if I want to buy the made up garment.( they are using the same child models picture yadda yadda) Yeah...Nahhh. I'll make it myself.
Can't say it's my style but we all have different tastes, don't we? Lovely work in any case.
Marketing emails are required by laws of various countries to have an unsubscribe button at the bottom. In the US the regulation is called CAN-SPAM for...some reason. Not that it necessarily means they'll listen, but there might be a way to report them if that button doesn't exist and there's nothing on the website. All else fails, block them.
But by all means continue getting...inspiration from them in return for the annoyance. Spite is a key ingredient of the artistic process, after all!
Anyway, I'm not even into skulls and those are some cool skulls.
your content and creations deserve way more attention! I think you're one of the most entertaining and wonderful crocheters on UA-cam. please don't loose that spark, you are so very much appreciated ❤
Wow, thank you so much 😊
I love this!!!
I think you did a great job!
I wish I could bugger up so AWESOMELY!!!
Absolutely GORGEOUS! Your t-shirt/sweater is beautifully done!!
I love this. It looks fantastic.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Wowsa!!!! Brilliant, Leigh! 💀☺️🫶🏻🧶
That will be an amazing jumper! Love it!
Very cool design!! I'd love to make one!!
I think your T-shirt is cool!
That's such a cool design! I've never tried crochet colorwork before, it looks fun 😊
It really is! It's exciting to see your design slowly come to life.
Ohhhh my gosh this came out so amazing! I need to do more projects like this. I've done hearts and that's about it for colour work like that.
Awesome!!! You really impressed me 🎉
I love your vest/skull pattern soooo frigging much!❤❤❤❤😍
Oooh i love the skully argyle!!
I'm doing the same thing because of the same site except it's a drawstring mushroom pouch I'm designing (which sent me into a brainstorming session of all the cute pouch ideas I could make), down with 🍵🐄!
That sounds like a really cool project, I bet there's a lot of unique ways you could incorporate different designs into a drawstring bag!
I am not into skulls but that garment turned out brilliant. Well done!
Turned out great... put a hood on it...❤❤❤
Hey, if you get the sleeves on and then do some surface crochet santa hats, you could make it a spooky Xmas sweater! :D
I like the design. Yes I would turn it into a jumper and ad a hood.
love this video! I have a whole album of items from shein I wanna recreate bc I wanna avoid actually purchasing anything from them lol
I can't find an original designer either, it appears to be a very popular design for companies to rip off. I've found a lot from random Amazon brands, Shein, Temu, and Ali Express. On the plus side it does look like the original may be knit which means it could be done on a machine. Probably still not ethical, but not as bad as crocheted items.
I have never cared for ☕ 🐄. It feels so wrong.
I'm not sure that what they showed was actually crochet, from my limited view it looked knit. That doesn't matter because your design is SO COOL! I'm not into skulls but the argyle skull look works.
In my very strong opinion no one should be buying crochet off those sights. Knit can be done with machines. Crochet cannot. Cheap crochet was made by hand. Hours of work they aren't getting enough money for.
I agree. When actual crochet pieces are being sold that cheaply, people are absolutely being exploited to make it.
And yeah, I'm pretty sure the original is knit but it showed up when I searched crochet. I liked it so much I just had to count it 😂.
What program were you using for the graphing of your pattern at the beginning? Never seen it before but would be cool to try recreating Tea-Moo clothing, as well! Also, was skeptical about the Skull Vest but the pattern was so crisp, even if it didn't come together as originally planned due to the implanted memory XD
Leaping in unasked so apologies, but it looks like Photoshop with guides and/or grids edited to assist drawing/plotting. Then there a few ways of doing it, either with a graph or a table created with custom rows and columns to create and colour individual square cells… If I’m wrong I’ll hang my head in shame but, like you, I’m still interested to find out which app and how exactly it was done in this case.
It's just photoshop or any drawing/photoediting app that allows you to create grids or do pixel work. 🥰
Spot on. It's photoshop. I use a custom photoshop pattern I made to to create the grid and then colour in the cells either individually with the bucket tool (very tedious but more precise lol) or for large areas of colour, I'll create a new layer underneath using the rectangle/shape tool and adjust the size as necessary.
Not my personal style, but that vest looks nice. Might make your winters nicer.
i do buy from the site but mainly gardening/pet/kitchen supplies, and i have seen those crochet pieces. i also do crochet and when i see them i wanna yell so hard. 5 dollars for something i know it takes me a week or so. and people in the item comments doesnt know at all. hope it becomes more known that those items are not really machine made :/. your piece looks amazing. i still havent done a graph top. it looks very exciting and unique!
Please be careful with food and pet safety being items from that website! Items might contain non-safe plastic and metals that don't comply with your country's hopefully/probably stricter regulations❤
Also, amusing that Temu adds pop up during your video... 😅
Not surprising 😂
@@SkeinSpider I think your work is amazing btw and thankyou for replying to me! It made me chuckle to see the add! You got me having the confidence making cardigans and all sorts, when I get the money, I'll be straight on your Patreon, I'd love to support a creator as great as you!
as someone who is Disastrous with color work. do you think the skull panels could be done with granny squares?
im in love with the finished product! is there a link through which i can find the grid for the same?
Not atm, but it will be available through my Patreon.
True crochet can NOT be done by a machine, so they are selling knit imposters. crochet being sold for 15$ make me sick.. that’s why people see real prices and are like omg it’s so expensive… just bologna!
Temu hater here. I kind of feel bad for You Tubers pushing their stuff. I get why they do it, I just won’t watch those videos. Love your vest/shirt.
Same, I don’t want to see a video of anyone’s “Temu Haul” or support anything that supports them, Temu is so bad in so many ways
Oh wow with long sleeves that would be brilliant.
A couple of my granddaughters love shein or what ever it's called as they both love clothes. They understand the process of how the clothes are made but being 11 and 10 they have little spending money! Itself a catch22 for hem.
Personally I won't purchase of these sites as I feel they exploit fellow human beings.
My opinion and unlike some people I'm not sat in the road blocking vehicles causing more pollution etc!!!
My ten year old granddaughter would love this sweater!
Take care xxJane 🐑🌈
What was the program at the beginning of the video? It looks awesome!
It's photoshop and yeah, I've found it pretty useful for making grid patterns like this.
❤❤❤❤❤
cool
What program or website did you use to make the colorwork pattern? I would love to be able to make my own.
anyone else get an ad for tea-moo before this video? 😑
😊😊😊
What is that program that you were using to create your skull design? I really need something like that, as using modified spreadsheets is VERY tedious.
This skull top is absolutely AMAZING. Are you on Instagram??
Cheers and yeah, there is a link in the vid description.
I say put a hood on it, and make it long sleeved and it'll be gorgeous...
Btw, kudos to you for not backing that company, wish everyone else would follow suit
I really badly want to make a sweater with this grid pattern! *___* But I don't have the money to follow your patreon this month, will I still be able to get this pattern if I join your patreon later?
Yeah, it'll still be there plus the "proper" pdf version of the pattern will be available when that's finished too.
@@SkeinSpider yaaay thats great! Curse you disability pay for being tiny 😬
This would fit great on a guy though. Someone a bit bigger and with wider shoulders it would fit great!
What kind of program did you use to create the skull pattern? :)
Please, how long it took for the skull project?
Not sure exactly, I worked on it sporadically over a period of a few weeks.
Pattern coming soon??? 😉😏🙏🙏
Portugal ❤❤❤❤❤
I got a temu add in the middle of the video 🙄
Of course 😂😂
Skulls down center outside of sleeve for sweater. I refuse to support that particular site. No offense to those that can get their goods there, I'm an unusual sized human that has to deal with specialty shopping for clothes.
I think you could just block them or junk e-mail them if you want to stop them.
This is gonna sound controversial but I actually like the close and yarn from there .... 🤷
You know you can block emails aye? You dont have to receive emails from anyone harassing you.
Yeah, I've blocked a lot. But you block one and two more pop up. Like a bloody email hydra.
@@SkeinSpider depending on your email provider you might be able to set a filter that sends all temu-related emails to trash or something
