    Hii! My grandpa is turning both 18 and 72 tomorrow (he's born on February 29th lol) and he absolutely loves birds. So I made one for him!

    You have no idea how well timed this video is! My family is going to a renfaire in the near future, and my sister is going as a pirate. She was looking around for a fake parrot to perch on her shoulder, but now I can make one for her using this tutorial. You're amazing ❤❤❤

    I would love additional videos making amigurumi with chunky yarn. I wonder how Chenille would work with amigurumi as well

    • @ShainaMakesStuff
      @ShainaMakesStuff Год назад +2

      They end up so cute and soft but the chenille falls apart so easily when you’re crocheting tightly for amigurumi. It’s pretty annoying to work with.

    • @SkeinSpider

    What size hook did you use I may have missed it. I have a heap of that type of yarn I was going to use for blankets but toys may be better. Have you ever made a bear with it? I actually would like to see all of them toys you made as they could be good gifts

    • @SkeinSpider
      @SkeinSpider  Год назад

      I think it was 7mm hook. But for amigurumi, I just use one (or half) a hook size down from the recommended hook size of the yarn.
      I haven't made a bear, but all the other amigurumi I showed will slowly make their way onto the channel over time.

  • @KnotCraftyKara
    @KnotCraftyKara Год назад +3

    Wow these are beautiful can't wait to make some, is there a particular reason you don't like chunky yarn? Just wondering I haven't made anything myself out of it and was just curious

    • @SkeinSpider
      @SkeinSpider  Год назад +3

      There's a few reasons. As lovely and soft as it is, I'm not a big fan of the texture. Also, it tends to fall apart or 'shed' and everything ends up covered in the fibers. It's like the yarn equivalent of glitter lol. Lastly, I find it more difficult to make finer details from, which is something I enjoy doing with thinner yarns.
      The yarn isn't horrendous or anything, just not my personal preference :).

  • @aviia_1
    @aviia_1 Год назад +2

    I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, but can we use normal patterns with chunky yarn? Is there a difference that makes the final thing turn out looking bad or are the patterns interchangeable?

    • @SkeinSpider
      @SkeinSpider  Год назад +1

      Generally, yes. They just tend to change the size. Crocheting a pattern that calls for 8ply yarn with chunky yarn will make the final piece a lot bigger.
      I made these with chunky yarn specifically so I could get the size I wanted. If you switched it out and crocheted this specific pattern with 8ply, you'd end up with a pretty small bird.

    • @SkeinSpider

      They'd work with dk or worsted weight yarn but the finished piece would be a lot smaller. I don't have any written patterns available at the moment, but I am slowing working on fixing that :)

      To know what hook size to use, look on the label of your yarn. Most yarns will have the yarns weight, size, and recommended crochet hook size. For tighter stitches, go 0.5-2 mm smaller for looser stitches, go 0.5 to 2 mm bigger

    I feel like the eyes should have been further apart. Their eyes are more on the sides of their heads because they are more of a prey than a predator. At least that is what I always think about when placing eyes, is this creature a predator or prey. It's helpful if you're making creatures of your own design to think about, it helps you design something.

    • @SkeinSpider
      @SkeinSpider  Год назад +1

      You're not wrong but sometimes you've got to sacrifice anatomical accuracy for cuteness and I thought the eyes looked cuter on the front. But that's just a personal preference.
