"Cassandra and the Three Bears" The third one is "just right". 😅I love seeing the updated journal for the Ami World Tour. I'm so glad Lauren Espy is also following,-how great!
Love your bear with floaties! I like all the floaties?. I kinda like the removable pants because gives opportunity to have another pair, lol! Look foward to the pattern😊❤
The bears and their floaties are so cute. Makes me think of Winken, Blinken, and Nod, but instead of in a little sailboat, they are tubing down the stream 😊
Thanks, Gail 🌸 Now you've got me wanting to write poems for my bears! This will be fun for an upcoming challenge...(I've got to keep track of all the challenges I keep coming up with 😍)
Thanks, Pamela 🌸 I am indeed getting LOADS of crochet done (and I've just finished watching 'The last train to Woodstock', so I hope to get my project in for that as well soon😊)
The Bears are so cute,and i love it that the pants can be removed. Love the colours you used and i am looking forward for the pattern. How exciting that the author of the book is following it,thats amazing. Jou hekelwerk is te dierbare baie mooi🫠😍🤗💜🩷💚
It was so interesting to hear your journey on developing your Bear with the floaty. I can't wait to get the pattern, but, please, be sure to include the various floaty patterns. Then I will have to make three bears!
Hey Cassandra! I know what you mean about crochet books. You get a new book, but can't decide what to make from it, so you move on to something else. Me too!! All three of your bears are fabulous. I love them all in their floaties. I have a frog in a duck float and a hippo in a frog float. They are so summery! I couldn't participate in the world cal, but I am enjoying all the makes from around the world. Can't wait for your patterns to be published. Happy Sunday, and have a fantastic holiday!!
@@maryrosemitchell2528 hello Mary Rose 🌸 I keep thinking that getting more crochet books might help my situation 🤣🤣 2 new books arrived this week, and I still can't decide what to make!

@@AntisocialAuntie I'm so excited that Lauren is following our journey 🤩 And I received word that our US book is safe at destination #2, and almost ready to continue its journey ✈️🌏 I'll share the project that was chosen soon 😊

And our post offices are closed on weekends, some small towns are only running a few days a week, etc. So it will take us awhile compared to international 🥺 I ordered Rainbow cotton yarn from Hobbii to try out with their free shipping this past week. Excited to try it!
@@AntisocialAuntie I think the excitement was getting to me, but yes, that was indeed the case with the book 😁 And of course I didn't take into account that all countries have different national holidays, which would affect the movement of the book.

Oh the bears are adorable 🥰 (maybe you should embroider a little butt crack 😂) too funny! How exciting that Lauren is following along with the tour! 👏🏻😊❤️
Hi Cassandra, your new bear is super cute and I loved all the different floaty designs for your beachy bears, I even thought butt crack bill was cute. Your cookies are great, I am loving the world tour, so far I have found the patterns in Laurens book super easy and enjoyable to make. I am trying to choose yarn at the moment to start on Sonny the sorbet bear while waiting for our next AWT2024 pattern. Take carer xx
@@marie-angebrun7079 Gaspard is a terrific name 😁 But with a name like that he would need a fedora and a bow tie, or he should be a pirate (something exotic and exciting) I really like that name!
My fingers are crossed that the USA book shows up soon! I noticed that the first project in USA was Florida and I wonder where she sent it to? We are being hit with lots of rain and storms currently due to hurricane season, specially, the East Coast, and Gulf of Mexico. 🤞🏻🇺🇸🧶
I would totally buy your bear with the floatie pattern. I prefer working the pants from the waist down myself. Probably because that’s the first way I learned how to crochet pants.
Those animal floatie rings are EVERYTHING! I need one my size. ha ha I'll call it my emotional support ring and start a new craze!! Lol. just kidding So cute! ❤
Love, love your videos and this one is no exception- I laughed out loud at your questioning those tight pants and how girls used to sit or bend in them.. ha!!! Poor little B-C bear- but he is adorable.. maybe he is just French, who like their tight skimpy suits.. we can call him Pierre 😂😂😂.. great video as always and your bears (maybe "The Beach Bears?") are the best! We are always the lucky recipients of your pattern indecision. We're just getting to the end of our 4th of July holiday weekend here in the US so I'm sure the USA book will be on the move again soon. Take Care!
@@QuietlyCraftyLindaC what a sweet comment! I much prefer calling him Pierre, and I love the story that he might be French 😅😅 I have a colleague who's French, and she would totally agree!
Cassandra, I love all 3 bears. Butt crack is cute in his own way!!! Your makes all have their own uniqueness. I love your videos and all your excitement. Thanks for helping get my crojo steam going. Hugs from Minnesota, USA!!!
Oh my! Everytime you said, "B.C. Bill" I died laughing! 🤣 It may be frustrating to you, but I am so impressed with all your sweet patterns. Keep up the great work...who knows...the next Ami World Tour may be your book! 💕
Thanks, Janna Kay 💖 These days my brain comes up with patterns faster than my hands can type them up 🤣 Who know what the next challenge is that I'll come up with...
"Buttcrack Bill" 😂😂😂 I had a friend in high school who wore jeans like that and I never could figure out how they stayed up!! Some kind of witchcraft, clearly 😂
I see "Tubbie" or "Tubi" for your bear! Though "Plumber" might be good if you're really stuck on the crack, lol! Also, put a couple of stitches at the back, top of the pants for "Plumber", 😂! Oh, my joking is so BAD! Couldn't help myself! Tubi or Tubbie or Tubby is better! Keep up the wonderful work you do with your podcast. Love watching!
You definitely appear to be in your ✨designing phase ✨ my friend! Don’t fight it, as you are completely smashing it out of the park! LOOK at these sweet, summery swimmers 🥰 Butt crack and all! (God I hated those low-rise jeans with a passion 😖 they were fricken awful!) Absolutely fantastic designs, Cassandra 💕 Those swim rings… I just can’t 😝💕 Really enjoyed hearing about your process. I would have thought that the swim trunks crocheted as part of the body, would have been easier to navigate than the seperate piece, but your explanation totally makes sense 💝 Ahh I cannot wait to get my hook stuck into these latest designs 🥳 it will be happening! Congratulations on the dazzling success of the Ami World Tour thus far 🙌 What a thrill, knowing that Lauren is on board and keeping track! 🌏✨ Fantastic! Xx
I do need a break from my 'designing phase' 🤣 Somehow my brain seems to think that I've got a lot more time than I actually do. I am currently my own worst enemy! Guess which book arrived in the mail this week, ready for some September inspiration...🦜🏴☠
@@craftablyeverafter Woop woop 🙌 “Avast ye yarn balls!”….no idea what that means… Man you are really going to be spoilt for choice! Between book 1 and 2, everything fits the brief perfectly 🥰⚓ I caved and bought book 1 😂 So, so, so excited for this 🎉! Xx
I like the wider neck bear. But those swim rings are so cute 😍 . I am anxiously waiting for my turn to receive the US book. I'm #17. Names: Frankie's flamingo, Dicky's duck, and Freddy's frog.
Thank you 🌸 And such cute names 😁 I just heard our US book is safe and sound, and moving to the next destination soon 🥳 I'll soon share the project that was chosen 💕
Oh my goodness, low-rise jeans! Ahhh! They didn't look good on anyone, but the style was to wear thong underwear and have that poking out the top. The only girls who could sit in those jeans were the ones with no curves, or the ones who wanted to show off their lower back tattoos, or who didn't believe that "modest is hottest" 😆 To me, that bear looks like an Albert. Despite being a natural swimmer, Albert gets nervous around the water, so his mother keeps buying him different floats, hoping she will find the right one to give him confidence to get into the water. Maybe what Albert really needs is a friend to jump in with him? 🐻🐻❄🐨🐼 You amaze me, Cassandra. "Can't decide on what to make, I'll just come up with my own pattern!" You wild, wonderful woman! You are brilliant! Lots of love, dear friend!
Thank you, dear Mary 💖 I absolutely love your story of Albert, and his swimming woes 🤩 Your emojis are indeed giving me ideas for a friend for Albert...
Thank you 💕 My Etsy store is craftablyeverafterdk.etsy.com. Not much going on there now, but hopefully will have my mouse pattern on there soon, and not too long after the bear pattern 😁
"Cassandra and the Three Bears" The third one is "just right". 😅I love seeing the updated journal for the Ami World Tour. I'm so glad Lauren Espy is also following,-how great!
And after writing up the pattern, it's now turned into 'Cassandra and the 4 bears' 🤣🤣 I'm surrounded by swim bears!
Love the new Bears. I agree, the thicker neck is better. So instead of Butt Crack, you can call him Droopy Drawers Daryl.
@@vcstamps 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 best name ever!
