    Hey Gayle, good to see you. Beautiful projects as usual😍. May I ask what size yarn do you prefer to work with? 😊

    • @StitchADeeDooDoll
      @StitchADeeDooDoll  11 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Season😁! It's so nice to see you as well, thank you so much for visiting❤. That's a great question. I usually work with medium 4 weight yarns. I prefer to use Hobby Lobby's I Love This Cotton yarns for my ami doll bodies because it looks and feels great and acrylics for everything else. As for doll clothes, I love to use light 3 weight yarns with a larger hook because it yields a much nicer, softer fabric which I love for clothing. For my dolls, I will sometimes mix and match fibers. For instance, cotton for the body and acrylics for the hair and clothing. Much of it is determined by my yarn stash and what I feel like in the moment😊. Lately though, I've been using a lot of 4 weight acrylics for my dolls simply because I'm trying to use up a specific stash and because my hands sometimes need a break from using cotton yarns, they can be quite taxing on my fingers😩. I have been enjoying using the lighter weight 3 yarns lately for my amis. I didn't think I'd enjoy them because I thought they'd be hard on my hands, but I may have changed my stance on that🤔. However, I do find that 3 weight yarns are much harder to find than 4 weight yarns. How about you Season? Do you have any favorite yarns for your amis? Spill the tea 😁

      @@StitchADeeDooDoll well i use all kinds of yarn but right now I'm using a lot more plush yarns and big hooks. I'm working out of the mama mademini lovey book right now and I'm enjoying using big twist posh yarn, basix chenille and bernat blanket with them. I've made a few with michaels sweet snuggles, but i don't prefer it and worry about the longjevity of the yarn when washed over and over🤔. I think I'm just giving my tired hands a break after crocheting with small yarn and hooks for so long. But i am determined to use my stash this year, so that consists of fingering weight, dk weight, worsted as well as a lot of plush and bulky yarns. My absolute favorite yarn to work with though is velvet! I adore velvet 🤗. And it double magic rings😉.

    • @StitchADeeDooDoll
      @StitchADeeDooDoll  10 месяцев назад +1

      Seems like everyone's doing the same. I'm really late to the plush yarn game myself 😊, but I do love working with velvet yarn too, it's my favorite plush yarn variety. I just got the mama made mini book and look forward to working out of it one day. It seems to be all the rage in the community right now. That's good information about the Michaels sweet snuggles, I've never tried it myself. Oh I know exactly what you mean about giving your hands a break. I too, have to take breaks from working with cotton yarns. It's funny, acrylics feel like a dream to work with after using cotton for so long 😂. But working with plush yarns is a whole new world! So fun! So soft! So squishy and cuddly😍! Thanks for chatting with me Season, and for spilling the tea 😉. It's fun to get to know you better. Have a wonderful week ahead. Aloha!❤

      Hi Cindy😁! It's so great to see you and to be back! I know right? I have this nasty habit of falling off the edge of the earth, but I managed to finally crawl back out of the big gaping hole that loves to swallow me whole sometimes😅. I love it when you come to visit, you're my little shot of joy and laughter in my day😍. Pom poms and glue guns are my jam! It's quick, easy, and adds more texture. Who could ask for anything more? Giiiirl, you got some mad skillz yourself and I'm not talking just crafting, I'm talking stoooooriiiies! I love to hear you "talk stories." I love to use hot glue sticks in my ami necks for stabilization. Oh yeah, she has a super thin neck and a big bulbous head and a single glue stick does just the trick for me. It adds just enough stabilization for me with a little bit of wiggle for some realism. I hope to do a video on the topic some time. It's been fun chatting with you Cindy! Always a pleasure to hang out with you😁. I'll be sure to tell Miko you said hi ❤

      One of the witch's ears is noticeably lower than the other. Your items are so literally perfect, so it stands out as an error (but it's not. I can tell it is bcuz of crocheting in continuous rounds and where the hair parting falls, it just really puts a spotlight on that ear.) One row up would make it align. [Just a suggestion...]

      Hi Rosie, thank you❤! I provide all pattern information in the description box of each video, including where you can find the pattern(s). I purchased my Japanese felt from Daiso. It's a Japanese retail chain and they have some locations in the U.S. You'll have to do a little bit of research online to see if they have a store near you. I don't have one near me, but whenever I travel, I make it a point to look for one in the area and that's when I'll shop there. It's basically a Japanese "dollar store." Their base prices used to be $1.25, but they have since increased their prices to $1.50 or $1.75 and they also carry other higher priced items. I hope this helps to answer your questions. Have a wonderful day Rosie😁.
