Yay for a book review with Alice! Love the new show and tell version x
It was much easier to just talk rather then stopping and starting! X
this video wasnt only super infomative,, but this video made me so happy and feel so safe :) you seem like such a nice and caring person and i love how accepting and safe your channel feels, which is rare here on the internet, so thank u :))
Oh bless your heart- thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked the book walkthrough and hope you stick around for more ❤️
Very nice book. I saw some that I would try to make. Thanks for the book review. I love book reviews of all kinds. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed this book so much!
Beautiful work ❤️
I like this style of review. You are a gem!
Aw thank you Mary! That is so kind of you ❤️
Hi Alice. I love Alice land! Glad your back and ok. Saw your review then had to get the book and mini monsters.
I hope you have fun making some awesome little creatures! ❤️❤️
I'm the psyduck as my first ever time crocheting and it is very fun and easy! I recommend!
Hello Lovely Alice😊 love your book reviews. Love your past reviews and this way of doing it - that's not helpful is it?! Whatever way you find easier & you prefer! You always show us the pics so we can see what is in the book, & tell us how the instructions are for ease of use and that is what you want from a book review to help you decide if it's for you ... so excellent work either way! I love Eevee ... I think I'm a sucker for cute & furry🤣🧡
Haha Annie you make me laugh! Cute and furry is always irresistible isn’t it! Xx
As a beginner this was the perfect book to learn from, teach me how to do all the stiches very easly and i know can read patterns😅fits purfect in my yarn bag and love it so much
That’s fab to hear ❤️
Just got this book a few weeks ago and am close to finishing Pikachu! The patterns are written a bit different from what I was used to(but they do go over reading the patterns in the beginning) so a bit of a learning curve there. Also I’ve seen a few comments about the use of felt in these(from another review), but they are simple shapes to figure out to crochet if you want to crochet the details. So far tho, I am loving this book!
Yes! Some things in there are a little different to what most of us are used to- but a little bit of concentration and you can get some awesome Pokémon!! If you’re on Instagram I’d love to see your pikachu once it’s finished!! 🤩
I have just finished JigglyPuff & while reading the Patterns instructions I had to use a scratch paper to figure out her written instructions for Decreases. So I could make my lines and try to figure out where her decreases are.
When I write out my patterns to read easily I actually write out
# sc (single crochet) then a down arrow (decrease) and repeat.
Example - * 3 Sc - ⬇️ * and Repeat around
Honestly the way they were written stumped an awful lot of people- anything you can do to make it easier to understand is a win in my book!
Thank you for this video. I purchased that book from Amazon USA, am a bit stymied because I find that the colors used for the characters in the book don't always match up to the colors of the same characters in Pokemon GO, but I've finally decided that it doesn't matter all that much. Unfortunately, it seems to matter a great deal to those in my circle of family and friends who are dedicated Pokemon lovers.
Just make them in whatever colours you like Judy!! You don’t have to follow exactly what the book says 🥰 I hope you have lots of fun making them!
@@starlightandstitches I get that. But some of these people are extremely serious about Pokemon. Luckily, I have received approval from the resident Pokemon fan here for the blue and other colors I have for Snorlax!! LOL.. Otherwise, I would be inclined to make him purple or maybe even variegated/striped...
I’d be the same- I’d love to see a variegated snorlax!! But for a full on fan it’s got to be the real deal. My daughter is really into Pokémon too! 😃
Good to see you back 😊 have you seen the book Edward's Crochet Imaginarium? It's like a pick'n'mix for amigurumi, saw it and thought you'd love it! 🤗
A friend literally bought it for me last week!!! So many configurations… I could make so many monsters 🥳🥳🥳
@@starlightandstitches Amazing! I saw it on a Fiber Spider video and thought it was an awesome idea, loads of options 😊
For the snoralax, it says 8 ch+1tch (basically chain 9). How the author has it written is super confusing. I have a dew rounds left in the body but its going to be a waste of time if I can't seem to get the belly part done.
Hello Alice, I brought this book a few months ago 😁 because even though my Son is 24 he still likes Pokémon 💙 Erica x
Your son has good taste!! 😊❤️
I bought it to make things for my son too, he is 28! LOL
I'm 33. My mum crocheted me a shiny Charizard for my 30th
Can you do a review on the pocket amigrumi monsters by the same author please
I have just ordered this book and it arrives in a few days. I am looking forward to making these but I have zero experience in the felt parts. I have a bag of felt scraps from a yard sale and a hot glue gun but what is the easiest way to cut it to make it so perfect? Any advice is appreciated. I am a pretty good beginner/intermediate
I found (if you’re using the same yarn weight as specified on the patterns) to trace the felt stencils in the book onto a piece of plain white paper first. Then I just held it in place on the felt as I cut around the shapes! When I used the chunkier yarn I did the same but cut around the stencils with excess around. I hope that helps! 😊
Ooh I have that book.
Have you made any of them yet Jacqueline?? ❤️
Would u take a look at the new book they come out whit? Its another crochet designer taht did vol 2
I’m thinking about it, not 100% sure if I want to purchase it yet! I’ll have another look 🙂
Have a little a problem reading the patterns
A few others have said this too- they’re not written in a traditional way from my experience. I always recommend people contact the fibre artist who wrote the patterns for advice. ❤️
Пришлити мне книгу про вязаные крючком покемонов пожалуйста я вам пришлю адрес куда
There are SOOO many errors in this book. It says to use felt for the Meowth but there is no pink in the template.
The patterns are horribly hard to understand. Instead of saying “[ sc 5, inc, sc 7, inc ], etc. she writes “[ sc 2 on the 7th, 9th, 19th, 23rd, 33rd, 45th, sc (60) ]
This forces you to count EVERY SINGLE STITCH for a round of 54 or 60.
There are errors and lots of mistakes. I can’t believe it was even professionally tech-edited, or even proofread. 🤷♂️
Just TRY making the Pikachu. Just try it. It’s SOOO confusing.
Maybe it’s just my inexperience but look at the Pikachu pattern and look at Round 41.
I’ve only made the magikarp from the book so far- havnt attempted any of the others!! What a shame that it’s written so confusingly 🙁
I find a lot of the end counts are incorrect and the charizard wings are completely incorrect. I have emailed the author of the book in hopes I will get the correct pattern🤞
That’s such a shame. I’ve still only made the magikarp so far and that pattern was fine from what I can remember. This was such a highly anticipated book, so frustrating if there is that much wrong. Will you keep us posted if you hear anything back please? C
this review is not helpful at all :( U only tried one of the patterns so u cant even give good advice or anything. U just rambled on about how cute they looked in pictures.
Point taken! Thank you!
The aim of my reviews in general are to look through the books and see what the patterns are like (ie what patterns are included), so my subscribers can see if it’s for them or not and wether or not they want to buy it. I’m sorry my review wasn’t to your taste but there are many other wonderful channels out there who do similar things. I’m sure somewhere out there you’ll find the right one for you. Have a great weekend.
