- Hello, it's Thursday!
This week I challenged myself to design and make a really cool dinosaur...and things didn't quite go to plan. Can you paint on yarn with acrylic paint? Let's find out together!
I love my genetically engineered theme park amigurumi though, and I hope you do too!

The notes for this pattern will be posted to Patreon over the weekend for anyone looking for them :) There's more than 550 lines so it's taking a minute to get formatted correctly!
Looking forward to the pattern, just have to work out how to work on this in secret so I can give it to my partner as a birthday or Christmas gift lol
Will the notes for the pattern also be posted on Etsy?
OMG 550 LINES??? good job!!
This is so beyond my skill level to make, but that doesn't mean I won't watch you make it! 😅
I have a child who will need this for Christmas! Looks like I'm joining patreons! Amazing work
I love that you are more of a crochet artist. Your creativity is fun. Keep it up!
Thank you! I will try! :)
I love how highly detailed you can make things, I could never make my own pattern that comes out this good! You deserve the award for best crocheter 🥇
Your design process is so organic. Such a delight to witness.
I'm glad you're taking a rest/taking the time you need! I love the raptor so much. He's so cool but also just the right amount of derpy to have a delightful little personality lol Random detail, but I loved how you stuck the teeth through his "gums". Just such a fun and interesting moment of crochet being perfectly shaped for something in nature. Love it when that happens!
Popping those teeth into their spaces was genuinely one of the most fun moments of this particular make!
Your videos have inspired me to try and learn how to crochet
So far all I've been able to make is a mess but I'm not gonna give up >:D
Don't give up! My first attempts at crochet are beloved monstrosities!
@@ComplicatedKnots 🤣🤣same! I tried making a square potholder/coaster and it became a bowl with zigzag edges
Yay! Welcome to the trying to learn how to crochet club!
keep going! i taught myself at 7-8 and have been going at it for fifteen years and i still remember getting over the learning curve. i’m rooting for you!
this raptor looks so sick. i wish i was this good at crochet
Use a fabric medium when painting yarn with acryllic paint! It makes it work much better AND washable after it's dried
Really awesome outcome on this guy! Looking forward to the quality over quantity content coming up 🤍
🤩🥰You are very talented.....Your creativity is awesome.....👍👍👍
thursday this is just gorgeous😭❤️
Obsessed. My favorite part is always watching how you piece everything together and it looks dang near seamless. I’m pretty good at crocheting, but sewing everything together? No, it’s gonna look a lot better if I just have random parts in a bucket. Awesome. Can’t wait for your Halloween project!
This is the coolest! Thank you for sharing!
Tip, put fabric softener into the acrylic paint and if turns into a homemade fabric paint, it holds pretty well and even increases the color coverage🎉 tip from an artist who constantly paints on shirts. 😊
I so love how your dinosaur turned out, am so envious of your crocheting skills.
inspires me to work on my crochet skills! TY
Beautiful design and i would love the plushie of this size. Cute actually makes him better cuz terrifying is not that huggable imo. The use of paint is a great idea.
As an artist you can add fabric medium to your acrylic to make it permanent on textiles also can use fabric modpodge as a top coat to make them waterproof. Any additional details you can use a sharpie or fabric pen.
But if you don't have those options acrylic paint will bond to fabric using heat like an iron or heat gun.
Then you can run him through the wash and air dry. Though as with everything eventually the colors will fade.
Absolutely amazing. Love it.
Ok I just wanted to say that I love your sweter or jumper or whatever that really is, but it's so amazing. And I'm so impressed by your brain I mean I'm currently doing your octopus, cyberus and baby frog and thinking abt starting fenix🤷🏼♀️ and it's kinda easy for me at this point to do it, except the sawing of course cuz we all know its horrible (my gosh this sentence is going to be so long and out of sense but who cares really), but doing some pattern on my own? I do not even have any idea what I'd like to do actually 🤷🏼♀️ the only things I can do outa nowhere are blankets and bags but chosing colors? I can't. I mean I can't ever decide, I hate it. Seriously.
So yeah I really am impressed and I mean it and thank you so much for all your projects, cuz they are mostly the only ones that I do and I would die without them😅 so yeah only that. Thank you. ❤
Greetings from Poland 😇❤
My children are on summer break so the days are not so important right now and after seeing your thumbnail my first reaction was "It's Thursday already?!"
Aah, that explains why there was no new video of yours today 😅
But yeah, totally understandable decision of course!
And what a cool raptor you got there! Very well done!
AAAAH I'm obsessed with dinosaurs this is amazing
Your creativity and problem solving never fails to amaze me. Watching you get the paints out I was convinced it wasn’t going to work, but he looks incredible!
P.s. I’m convinced everyone’s local spotlight is always sold out in the yarn colour they need. There is a specific blue-green colour in Marvel that is always sold out at mine.
That is amazing I could never do that.❤
The painting is genius for this one. Also about acrylic paint. It frequently dries fabrics very stiff and unpleasant. BUT, in the acrylic paint sections here in the US, you can buy a clear medium named textile medium. You can add this to your acrylic paint in the painting dish. Just mix it in any color. It causes the acrylic dry softer and more flexible on the fabric. I've used it with art quilts. The painted stripes added so much character. The painting from body on to the body parts really blended them very naturally. I personally adore your small patterns for my work. This lare raptor is truly wonderful. I love watching you design. I'm learning a lot from you. I have a gr son who's favorite color is orange. I think he would go nuts over this raptor. I'm not upset at all about your filming schedule. Please work at your own pace. My life is going through adaptation in my treatment schedule. This and the volcano watching I'm doing has put me behind in crafting and watching schedule, :)
Great job. When I know I am going to lose at yarn chicken, I add stripes.
I have a couple things to say:
1. I love all of your tutorials and they are all super helpful
2. Your channel is the first one I look at when wanting to crochet something new
3. Do you think you could crochet a Ponyta? It’s been my favorite Pokémon since I was 5, and it would mean the world to me!
I can't decide if I'm more impressed by the raptor or the fact that you still have a K-Mart.
It replaced our target about 4 years ago 😂
I think the gums are my favorite part! I don't think I've ever seen gums and teeth and gone, "oh my gosh, look how cute!" before.
WONDERFUL👍👍👍👍
I also crochete but not as big and wonderful as you do. Also Great is your imagination, as also your facility to create each peace of your own creation. You are Great in Your Art👍
✨💖✨
Wow this is amazing!! Love your content no matter the frequency, take care of yourself !
Absolutely amazing little guy, stunning work. Now go relax you sure deserve it lol
I love how your brain works too. I love watching you create, it’s like watching a masterpiece come together.
I absolutely love his idgaf face 😂. It’s amazing
21:35 good for you! rest assured that we will happily wait for your content if it means you will be able to produce bigger and better things! your work is incredible and I can’t wait to see what wonderful ideas you have in store for the holiday season!
So excited for this pattern, youre so inspiring and i love seeing your progress though the patterns. Keep up the amazing work!❤
new video yay!!!!! i was just thinking about what to crochet next 💕💖💝
Me too! :)
Oh my gosh, the gums are such an amazing addition! That way you don't have to individually sew each tooth into the mouth.
You're just amazing.
I used to have my store with amigurumis long ago. I started to do my own patterns because I was never satisfied with the things that I saw through the internet. I have to say, you are one of these rare artists that makes beautiful creations. You do amigurumis in a way that I didn't see before. I have a couple of your patterns to learn new ways of crocheting amigurumis. Thanks for your effort and your existence. You are truly inspiring.
If you want to make a quick and easy fabric glue that's flexible, just mix some regular acrylic paint with some Aileen's Tacky Glue and BOOM. Flexible paint. I fixed my cracking headphone ear pads with this, and it's held up. I think it was a roughly 30-40% glue to paint ratio.
I just discovered your amazing videos and you truly are a crochet wizard!!! I’d really love it if you could create “Bait” from dragon prince. I want to make one for my granddaughter. Thank you for your inspiration!!!
Watching the way you pivot when you ran out of yarn and you came up with painting details on the dinosaur. It turned out so beautiful and I admire your talented and artistic eye!
That’s a really great idea to paint the yarn if you can’t get a colour matched yarn. Apparently you can make acrylic paint into fabric paint using a homemade fabric medium mixed into it, using vinegar, glycerin (baking section of supermarket or chemist/health store) - recipes online.
And water
I’ve watched this video like 5 times trying to get the courage to try the pattern! Haha I hope you take some time to rest too you work so hard! Take care can’t wait for hallooowwweeeeeeen!
You just combined a skill I have with several active or dormant interests and now I want to drop everything and try making my own squishy dino sculpture!!
Your brain is amazing. I can't believe how you create these great shapes in crochet. Also the painting aspect is really interesting, I love that idea!
You are such a clever girl! Amazeballs! ☺️💕 🦖
I love this baby. I hope you continue with your pokemon series but I love everything you make anyway.
I love ❤️ it beautiful job ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just want you to know you got me into crocheting, and now im crocheting a bag that can hold 6 skeins and my equipment so i can crochet larger projects at work XD i dont wanna spend $50 bucks on a bag so ill make one myself!!! btw, i would love to see you work with Jazza, maybe reach out to him, he does tons of different art mediums for sculpting/drawing an dI never knew how much creative potential crocheting had until you and skein spider showed me how much i can really do! ty
He’s absolutely adorable. You are so talented - thanks for sharing it with us 😻
I love how you make both crochet toys and crocheted sculptures! The detail you put into them is incredible and I hope some day I can make mine like yours!
that is SO amazing! so cool!
You are a very good designer for your crochet crafts that you do. I love the different projects you create; they are well designed.
I love the finished project! Your solution for making the yarn chicken fail work for the piece was very creative and added a feel of a natural (?) coloration variation. Very impressive work!
So incredible what you are creating out of a ball of wool. I am absolutely stunned by your designs and adore the raptor❤
Looking forward to the videos you do have time to do. The raptor is absolutely amazing.
Saw this on Facebook and was ready to barge over there and be like “this lady is claiming CK’s work!”...... then double checked the picture.... oops! Gorgeous as always!
Haha I appreciate it. I 'm basically in disguise on Facebook XD
I love your larger than life creations! Totally epic. This video also reminded me once again how chickens are dinosaurs, haha.
The freehanding looks amazing! You did a good job of the whole thing. So cute!
The cutest little Utahraptor that anyone has has ever seen, and she is a VERY clever girl
First we get cutie Cerberus pup, now we get a velociraptor? You spoil us!
Oh, and there's two recognized species of velociraptor, one with feathers, one without, so it's still legit if featherless. ❤
When you said you have to paint it, I was so worried, but blending the pieces and adding details with paint came out so well!
Your velociraptor is amazing!!! I would love to crochet one someday. I enjoy your creative process and drawings! Lucky for us that you do what you set your mind to do! 🦖
Love this squishy baby raptor, looking forward to seeing your bigger projects ^^
I love your videos. You are very creative.
OMG this is insane! I have a little 6 year old who loves dinosaurs and she really does love your raptor. Your really have a talent. Saying hello from Scotland.
I’m positive all your vids will be worth the wait!
Found your channel not long ago. I am loving it! Itis making me want to crochet again. Thanks!
Wow, it looks awesome!
Thank you! :)
It’s cool getting to see a bit of your process, I can’t even begin to think where’s I’d start with something like this! Super awesome result, I would die for him 😊
I work short rows like this: after the last single crochet of my round I start making a lot of loops. There must be enough to get to the start of the short row and some more for flexibility. And then I can start on the start of the short row again. That way I only crochet in one direction. I hope my explainaition is good. Absolutly love your positiv energy!
HOLY HECK!!! Amazing work and i cant wait to see my dino-crazy brother's reaction to this!
It turned out so great but for some reason all I kept thinking about was Randall from monsters inc. 🤔 That would make a pretty cool kinda scared pattern 🤔🤔🤔
Thank you for sharing it’s absolutely amazing love it and great job
You are so much more than a crocheter. You are truly an artist! I love the way you can sketch out a design and then make a 3D form of it with yarn and hook. I also love the fact that you can go with the flow when the design begins to change and take on a new dimension. Even your use of paint was so creative. It appears you are very knowledgeable of other media as well. I adore watching your content rather or not I actually make the piece. Keep up the Great work. Your channel is amazing and I'm sure it will continue to grow.
you’re my favorite crochet artist right now
Wow❤
You asked in the large bee video what else we would like to see. I have some ideas Bald Eagle with pattern, hummingbird extra large so blind people like me can see... a new extra large owl with pattern although i.might be able to.finagle it with the baby owl patterns, a moose series or a Halloween and Christmas village series... ❤❤❤ I love your channel btw.
I will paint on a crocheted doll's face today!
That looks amazing! Great job! 😊
Oh my lordd! You do amazing stuff every week, and I'm always impressed that we get this level of quality in a week. I can only imagine how good Halloween & Christmas are gonna be with breaks in between for larger and more planned projects!!!!
So cute! My son would have loved that when he was a kid.
That is amazing!!!
amazing
As someone who both paints and crochets the idea of painting yarn with acrylic paint stresses me out so much, but it turned out looking super cool. I would always use chalk or eyeshadow because I feel like acrylic paint either wouldn't stick properly or make a weird texture on the yarn. I love the way you did the teeth, I've never though about making them like that and now I want to try it.
my solution with short rows when i need to sew them, is that i make what they sew to first, then when i reack the edges i dec into bothe the last st of the short row and the equevilent in the other peice that it'll attatch to. just thought i'd let you know my trick there! :P
and yes, i will finnish off from time to time just to reattatch my yarn. :P
You never cease to amaze me 😍😍😍
Oh my goodness, he’s so squishy and sweet!
I Love him❤
happy thursday!
You made velociraptor dentures! 😂 I love it!!!
All those teef!!❤
There's so many, and it still felt like more when I was making them!
I work with sculpting clay. It always feels like so much work when you need a bunch of small details
This is amazing!!
This is so inspiring
I’m loving your aesthetic and your method for adding lots of texture and frills to lizards. Any play plans to design a triceratops? That’s my favorite!
I've used acrylic paint on yarn, (mostly because it's the best way I've found to do short, close-cropped hair styles,) and the only thing I can say with it, (because I don't throw my stuff in the washer, I recommend people spot clean the dolls I make,) is that it takes a SURPRISINGLY LARGE amount of paint to cover an area of yarn.
He’s such a cute lil guy!! /pos
not me googling a fortnight. my education in shakespeare rlly didnt do me that good LOL. thats totally understandable and we all support you! I personally prefer watching these big projects either way!
oh my it’s so cute!!!
He's very cuddly for something with that many teeth!
