My biggest tip is to count every row, and if you don’t have the right number of stitches, you must rip it out and do it again. Even one stitch makes a huge difference in the shaping. Ripping out (or frogging, as we like to call it) is heart-breaking and time consuming but a necessary evil to get the shaping correct!
Yeah, it is super frustrating to frog a project, but depending on what we are crocheting it is necessary, as you said! Thanks so much for you message 😘
This is such a good tip! I didn’t take it seriously and thought I could adjust on the next row….I was wrong. I am so much happier redoing the row……especially certain parts of the amigrumi ! Thank you for reminding me the right path is try that round again 😊
I can’t believe you have haters? Your amigurumis are amazing and if you get a thumbs down then it’s due to jealousy on their part. Keep up your fantastic work and videos and thank you for being my inspiration 😊
I am a scarf..cowl..hat maker .an when I wear them n bright colors I always get compliments n orders from strangers n co workers..all is thick n long n wide n so warm n the very very cold weather ❤🎉❤
You cut your finger? Oh now I don't feel like a True Crochet! I never bled for my craft! LOL But I did sprain my finger trying to make a basket with thick yarn. Chilnelle yarn - I am learning to embrass it! You are so right about Hobbii yarn. I am loving it! Yarn tension - I always ignored it. But I'm in the process of making a book for my grandson and the pages HAVE to be the same size. NIGHTMARE! So I'm working on it now. No. 4 - Clothes! HA! couldn't stop laughing! This is why Sally (Nightmare before Xmas) is wearing a mini skirt instead of a dress! Though I must admit, it was a cute mini dress and she did wear it well. But good advice for the next project. Measure as you go! EMOTIONS! I never knew crocheting could bring out SO MANY emotions. And believe me, there are times I become this CRAZED person when I don't understand something. But when I figuer it out and the project is finished and it looks good, I am proud. Again girl, another great video.
Only sometimes! I had to learn different ways of holding the yarn in my left hand because I used to cut my finger every time. It took me a while to realize it was because of the way I was holding it 🤦🏻♀️ Wow! You are crocheting a book? Is it like a playful book? I think these are SO CUTE! He will love it, regardless of the size of the pages 😅 And yeah, the feeling of finishing a project is unique. You look at the crochet piece and you say "Oh yeah, I did that!" hahaha - Always one of the best feelings!
¡Oh, eres tan dulce! ¡Me alegra mucho que puedas entender los videos y tenerte aquí conmigo! ¡Gracias querida! (Estoy traduciendo al español usando google, ¡perdón por los errores! 🤣)
Oi, Bianca! Assisti vários vídeos seus. Encontrei seu canal por acaso e fiquei feliz ao ver uma brasileira ganhando visibilidade mundial. Ganhou uma inscrita! Beijos de Curitiba ❤
Ahhhh posso te dizer que GANHEI meu dia com sua mensagem! Mto mto obrigada pelo carinho 😍 Eu tambem sou de Curitiba!!! Sou Carioca, mas morei boa parte do tempo em Curitiba e digo que meu coração é Curitibano hahaha
I can't believe some people crochet till their skin rips open 😭 I'm so paranoid about developing chronic pain in my arms that I ban myself from crocheting for a week or so every time my arms start to hurt. I know the crochet withdrawal is hard but health is so much more important
I've tried a LOT of brands of chenille and I swear I have a huge problem with chenille in general because it knots so easily and I just have to cut it and start over. It's hard to see my stitch count too. However, using a different type of yarn with the chenille makes things easier, like an acrylic yarn. It's like using it as a guide for the chenille, almost like covering a wire with clay. Makes it slightly less of a nightmare to work with. Catmigurumi has a great tutorial for it.
I know how you feel, it took me YEARS to find one yarn that didn't break that easily, I could frog a project without making knots or destroying the whole thing, and also that was easier to see the stitches. Believe me, it exists 🤣 But sure working with other yarns combined, like doing the magic ring for example definitely helps a LOT!
Girrrrrl! I commit SO many mistakes while recording the videos 🤣 I am an early bird, so I wake up and always record my videos in the morning. But my brain is much faster than my speech 😂 Recording these videos has been a challenge, but I am glad to know you like the black-and-white scenes I leave here for you to have some fun!
I haven't graduated to Amigurumi clothes yet, still working on getting the basics down. I plan on doing the create a ball video that you have on your channel after work tonight. Fingers crossed it all goes well 😊
I love crochet clothes!! I'd like to learn knitting clothes! Although I don't like when designers use different weight yarn to make it. I use fingering weight yarn, Yan uses worsted for the body and fingering for the clothes, so what I have to use?? Haha
People in the crochet community are really welcoming, I also have a RUclips channel and the majority of people are adult ladies, i love them, their vibes are amazing 😍🤩
Hi ...Love your videos and all your patterns. Please, can you check your microphone, for some reason when I watch your videos I need to turn up the volume way up so I can hear you. Thank you for always sharing your ideas, tips, and patterns with us. Love you much.💞
Hiii! I will take a look at it for sure! I don't have fancy equipment, my mic is a very simple one. But I see if it's possible to adjust it. Thank you for your feedback! 😘
#clothes About the callouses, I'm developing one because of the number of the needle engraved on the the needle. Right on that part, my middle finger keeps touching, and it's hurting... 😖😖😖 I need a needle with rubber...
Yeeeees!!! I know exactly how you feel! Because it is the way that we crochet that causes it. Depending on the way we hold the crochet hook, it might not even happen. But after we learn it, it becomes a habit and it is difficult to change the way we crochet.

id love to see a video about amigurumi clothes😍 there hardly are any videos on it, especially dolls too!
Great!!! Thank you so much for your feedback!
I have been asked by someone to make taylor swift in her purple dress so im very interested in the clothes for amigurumi video. Thank you.❤
ohhh that's great! Thank you for your interest in the video 😍
Thank you so much for these videos ❤ I started crocheting during Easter 🐣 2024 so these kind tips and reminders have been very helpful 😊
That's awesome! Are you addicted to crochet already? Just kidding! 😅 I am super happy that you enjoy my videos 😘
You need drape in the clothes. I usually go half a hook size up then don't have to change the stitch count if it's a little dense.
Yeaaah! Exactly, this is a very clever way to adjust when it comes to clothes 😘
like your personality😊😊😊
She has the cutest personality! And I love her videos when she makes a mistake and it turns black and white. I get a chuckle out of it every time.
OHHH I am flattered! You made me SO happy! A thousand times, thank you 😘
Girrrrrl! I commit SO many mistakes while recording the videos 🤣

Ohhh it WILL go well! I am sure you will nail it! You can count on me on your journey 😘
I lived your thumbnail!!
I have never developed callouses, nor even finger pain, maybe because of my tension and my way of holding the crochet, I'm a pencil holder too!
I love crochet clothes!! I'd like to learn knitting clothes! Although I don't like when designers use different weight yarn to make it. I use fingering weight yarn, Yan uses worsted for the body and fingering for the clothes, so what I have to use?? Haha
People in the crochet community are really welcoming, I also have a RUclips channel and the majority of people are adult ladies, i love them, their vibes are amazing 😍🤩
thank you so much!!!! 😘
Yeah, developing callouses depends on the way you hold the crochet hook for sure!
I love to give away the amigurumi i made. Even if I wanted to make it for my self. I I hear someone likening it I’m like please take it.
🤣

Clothing tips
I want the clothes videoooo!
That's great! I will surely add this to my list! 😘
I made a dress for an amigurumi last night and made it too big. 😝
My mistake was sizing up a hook size and doing yarn over. Should have done one or the other, which I will be doing tonight.
Ohhh I can't believe it! Did you crochet it all before trying it on the doll?

About the callouses, I'm developing one because of the number of the needle engraved on the the needle. Right on that part, my middle finger keeps touching, and it's hurting... 😖😖😖 I need a needle with rubber...
