No hangover here! New Years has never been a big deal for me! That Momo, he is so cute! Great job. I have to make a snake one of these days, never have. Sounds like it’s time for a trip to Michael’s so you can feel the yarn before buying it! Send that crap back and we’ll go one a Michael’s shopping extravaganza!! 🦋💖🦋💖
In person would be ideal if the stores actually had a yarn section. They have all cut back so much there is not much to choose from. Yes MoMo did turn out great!!
That dragon you’ve made is so adorable. Do you do tutorials on what you’ve made would love to make these you are my favourite love love everything you’ve made your so talented thanks for sharing what yarn do you MC
Robin, great video. I like that dragon ring! Didn’t do anything for the new year. I’m making a temperature blanket. I started the 1st of January. Tfs Jen in South Dakota.
Turn the head upside down with the nose pointing away from you then you will surface crochet no magic ring nine single crochets in a circle using rounds five and seven of the head as a guide. I know they say magic circle but that’s gotta be a typo in every single one of the patterns in the book you don’t do that.
I have made spirals using sc inc and slp st. On one side you increase the other side you slip stitch. But I have no idea the combination she used to create the snake. I am waiting for the pattern too.
Happy New Year 🥳 no hangover for me! I also don’t drink, I stayed home with my dog, he gets spooked by the fireworks so he usually likes to cuddle up with me ❤ I had ordered Michaels yarn to make my nephew a minion for Christmas and the black yarn looked just like your pink yarn like rats chewed on it or something 😅 it was flat and felt weird, it also stained my crochet hook blackish blue not sure if that’s normal or not since this was the first time for me using black chenille home slim yarn, it is very disappointing when the yarn looks like the way it does and then still have that expensive price of $11.99 CAD 😭
I haven't had a yarn stain my hook (metal) but I have had some reds stain my fingers and nails. Yes it stinks they still charge premium prices for inferior quality yarn.
Happy New Year 🎉. Lovely makes! Lots of people complaining about the Michaels. For those that love Chenille yarn I'm wondering if Hobbii is the way to go? It's more parfait chunky weight but I e never seen anyone complain about the consistency. Just have to get it on sale. 🤷♀️.
No hangover here. I went to bed early to watch my yarnie friends on RUclips, and was crashed by 9:30. Love the Orange Crush dragon! I need to find that yarn! 🧡 Momo! Oh my gosh!!!
The Mo? Not sure I’m spelling right 😂 is very cute 😊 I have vowed not to buy anymore patterns until I make the ones I bought several months ago 😮 14 🤦♀️ Anyway, hope you’re having a great new year and don’t forget to eat your black eyed peas ❤
Happy New Year!! Your dragon lovey is cute!! That colorway played out very nicely!! Oh my goodness on the MoMo, how adorable!! Good to know on snake pattern coming out. You know, I haven't bought any snake pattern yet, I just really don't like snakes. I know my grandsons would like them. I feel the same with the spider.
The ring dragon is adorable. I can see that being very popular at markets, especially at the school event. I have been switching from parfait chunky to sweet snuggles lite but keep watching everyone telling how bad it got! Thanks for demonstrating as I didn’t realize how bad. I have to pop into Michael’s and see if Canada has just as bad yarn. No hangover here, strongest drink was a Pepsi 😂. Good luck at market! Now have to rewatch video as “someone kept talking to me!”
Happy New Year! I’m not a drinker or partier so same as any other day for me. Love that you are trying more of the MMM loveys from the book! Your Dusty turned great in that yarn color! I think that dragon ring will be a hit with the kiddos for sure! Sorry to hear your Michael’s order was disappointing. I can’t believe that made it out of the warehouse like that!!! There has to be some sort of quality control right!? I just got my Herrschners Catalog in the mail and they have a new yarn called “Skwishy” on the front that looks like parfait chunky. I’m totally going to have to try that next time I order from there!! They have some nice colors too! Check the website to see what it is all about. I don’t know why it is so hard to get the yarn somewhat consistent!! Color I can almost forgive, but not texture differences!! I hope you have a great weekend.
I will definitely take a look at that but order like 1 just in case it’s awful 😂. That order was very disappointing. I love how my dragon lovey turned out.
Happy New Year to you Robin. Nope no hangover for me. Was in bed by 7pm. I have a custom order to do then want to do the scrappy bear. I so like him.I do hope they get the yarn problem fixed. It’s crappy quality but yet they want to charge the same price. Hoping the new year bring better yarn.
I love your dragon Lovie. The ombré yarn is awesome. I can see kids loving the ring dragon. Great makes! I have been disappointed with the Michaels yarn. I used the rhubarb color for a dragon and it took forever. The yarn dragged on my hook and seemed like it got stuck on itself. Does that make sense? It was hard to pull the stitches through and wouldn’t frog. I’m thinking I’ll try Alize Velluto after I use up what I have.
NOOO! I literally have that tutorial paused as I crochet the 15 round of HDC and am watching you. It's looking cute, but I didn't realize we're moving to DCs after this. Argh. CrochetGrove's pattern looks amazing, but I have to work tomorrow and wanted to work on a snake today so thought I'd give this one a go.
I was writing the pattern down as she displayed it on the screen, I'm glad I didn't jump right in. I'm sure it would be fine if you were making it for yourself but not to sell. It looked very cute in her thumbnail.
@ Started Crochet Grove’s pattern and it is spiraling beautifully. I hope you review next video! She recommended a 4.5 hook for Bernat. I’m doing it even though it is much smaller than what I normally use. Wondering if it would not look as good with a larger hook. Also worried I might be overstuffing.
Your makes are freaking adorable (of course). I was online trying to learn how to do a color spiral to make a candy cane whale and could only find people using double crochet. I think I figured out how to do it but the holidays at work has me not touching yarn 😭
@KnottingHookCrochet Yeah, I have been with the motel for 4 years and it's very different type of customer service. I asked for a few days off this month to recover 😁
Had a nice quiet evening with hubby, no hangover, but did enjoy some beer and pizza! Held up my left foot right before midnight, went to bed shortly thereafter. I don’t know what’s going on with the yarn industry, seems to be across the board with the plush yarns, do they think that we don’t notice???! Prices going up, quality going down. I think we really do have to go to the stores and pick it out to know what we’re getting. And call or send emails to let them know that yes(!) we do notice. Happy New Year everyone!!! 😊 Edit: meant to mention how adorable Momo is!!
Premier knows they have had quality issues and admitted so when I called. They sent quality replacements at no charge. Their CEO is Hal Ozbelli. I’d have to research the others but we, the yarn community, do matter to them they just need to hear from us. I hear ya about the masses, but I believe that every time one of us speaks up we are contributing to being one of the masses and who knows, we might just have an impact. I do believe they try to market products that they may know are inferior all for the sake of money, but when they hear from their consumers that we noticed and aren’t happy about it, they may work to resolve the issues. Just my opinion, but I’m not afraid to speak up, whether it’s positive or negative feedback. They need to hear the positive too, when they improve. It’s a pain in the butt because it’s time-consuming, but hopefully it helps facilitate good quality control and has them paying attention. Edit: just thought of a couple more points - contact the yarn company NOT the resellers or third-parties (ie Joann), keep it professional, saying “Your yarn is crap and I won’t be buying it anymore!” is not nearly effective as explaining exactly which yarn it is, including lot numbers, and what exactly is wrong with the yarn (thickness, texture etc) and that the difference from what it used to be is very noticeable, along with who you are and how you use their yarn. Robin, you and other RUclipsrs may have even more of an impact because you’re reaching thousands of people and quite possibly influencing their yarn buying choices.
Crochet by Janina pronunciation is: Yeah-neena. The way that the light was hitting the Momo I thought that his inner ears were buffalo plaid! It is very cute. No hangover here. I stopped drinking many years ago. I just went to bed. Happy "non-hangover" New Year!
I just made the dragon ring yesterday! I used posh, and it still came out fairly small. How did you do the tail piece, because I want to add it to mine.
No hang over here 😂 I am going to have to make a dino ring. Hilarious! I am floored with difference between those 2 yarn batches. The new looks so cheap. How dare they!!
I'm not a drinker either. I spent the evening with my family at home and building my cabinet with my hubby. My brain couldn't think how to do the ring on with the dragon. Maybe once my craft area is clean I can think.
Oh good it’s not just me. I ordered a bunch of terracotta for projects and was like what is wrong with this? It was thinner, slippery and almost like a velvet. I kept it but I was a little disappointed with the texture.
Thank you for all you are saying about the horrible quality of yarn that most of the craft stores are selling. Not just Michael's, it also Premier Yarn and Hobby Lobbys plush yarn. Makes you wonder if the yarn is going through one company. Thanks again for calling them out.
I totally agree with you on Michael's changes....I'm sooo disappointed and angry...I'm on a quest to find as much of the old yarn as I can. If you need another voice to add to the complaint to Michaels...please add me in. I'm not sure what I'm going to use ....there really isn't a comparative yarn out there. If there is, please let me know.
I just drove an hour to my nearest Michael’s today because they finally had the terra cotta in stock and every single skein was AWFUL! You can tell just by looking at it that it has a shine and is SO thin. Big twist Baby Bear has changed the formula too and I’m so bummed. It’s my favorite worsted weight chenille. 😥
I don’t know what’s going on with the yarn. I can’t imagine that all the companies decided to lower the quality on their yarns all at the same time. So frustrating!
I'm sad about the sweet snuggles light its horrible now! From what Ive heard they changed how they make it and that's what were going to be stuck with now!
I recently got orders from Michaels and I was very disappointed with the pink, agave and terracotta. Considering they’re always out of terracotta, I feel like I’m going to keep it.
Happy New Year! ❤ Mo Mo 😊

Thanks, I think the dragon is my favorite too! 😄
Happy New Year to you and your family. No partying here we stayed home. Lol
Hope you had a fun night in!
I love the dragon ring. Going to see if my daughter would be interested (to sell other fellow junior high students)
She should do it. I think it will be a hit.
Happy new year
Same to you
Happy New Year!!! I am late… but I love seeing all your things! I got my book yesterday, can hardly wait to make something. Thank you for sharing.
I am so glad you got the book and hope you enjoy it!
Robin, great video. I like that dragon ring! Didn’t do anything for the new year. I’m making a temperature blanket. I started the 1st of January. Tfs Jen in South Dakota.
Current year or historical?
I have seen other RUclips channels reporting the same issues. Happy New Year!!!
Yes! I’m hoping this is a temporary issue! 😊
I just added that snake tutorial to my watchlist… glad you talked about it & saved me 38 minutes lol
OMG that MoMo is beyond adorable!
Happy New Year! 🎉
I am glad you have embraced the larger eyes. That has always been my preference. 😊
I can't say I have embraced them fully, yet, 😂

Old soul crochet does the twist with slip stitch’s and single crochets. She has the coolest octopus pattern ever with this technique.
I will have to check it out!
Yes the body

I know they say magic circle but that’s gotta be a typo in every single one of the patterns in the book you don’t do that.

Velvet was my thought too!
Dec and inc on opposite sides is my guess
mine too but how many regular rows between them is the question. Will find out tomorrow 😂

Same colors as mine, very disappointing!
@ yes ma’am
@ I left a negative review. It is beyond disappointing and I’m soon going to find a new yarn if they can’t figure it out.
I never order Bernat anymore, to much inconsistency. I always buy it in store now so I can feel it.
It’s like that with all the brands any more.
The yarn looks like the quality control was bad. Maybe a new manufacturer.
Maybe
I run into the same with Bernat Blanket. I will only buy in person anymore.
