Thank you for having so many of my patterns in your top 25 !! ❤ And just so you know, the Squishy Baby Octo (your top 4), is actually the baby that goes with my Jumbo Kawaii Octo Family 🥰 That's why it's a little bigger than the baby that you have with your octo mom pattern (which is the original size)!! Thank you again!!!!

I'm ashamed that I already have almost all these patterns lol😳 I have 3 hobbies: amigurumi making, yarn collecting, pattern purchasing😂. It's horrible. Omg, I need to pay off my credit card lol. I love your videos. You are my favorite❤

These are amazing!! Would you consider doing a top favorite free patterns video? 💕

I love the highland cow! I need a highland cow!

I saw the cute mouse awhile back on your vlog and just had to buy and make. I made with velvet yarn and they are so soft and cute! Just last night I bought the Tess and Tiana bundle, can’t wait to make all of the options😂. Great vlog as usual!

Hey Beautiful Friend Awesome Video ❤

I loved this video! Thanks for sharing~ How do you not have a bigger following? Could totally hang and crochet with you! LOL

I enjoyed your video very much. I love seeing what you make and where you got the pattern. I bought a bunch of colors of a thinner plush yarn called Go Handmade Happy Chunky Fine and have just started making plushies. So fun. Can you tell me where to find the pattern for those chickens behind you?

Awesome what a great video, now I have a few things to crochet tomorrow, I just bought more yarn while watching you because it's behind you and I needed it 🤭 I have the Birdy Pops and just Love them, I've done one in particular that has a camo body and he really has a personality (I'm sure he will be scooped up as soon as I set up my next market, I will be sad) I just finished making 2 of the rainbow whale mums by AllfromJade and I just want to make more of them, I want to make a mum Stella and I can't wait to get my hands on her large mum axolotl I haven't even started on dragons yet although I bought a few of them back in August last year Soooo many patterns always coming out it's so hard to choose

Girl, I have yet to make a single amigurumi. Guess what?? I can not wait any longer!!!

Your hippos are so cute 🥰 i usually am hesitant to do those because of how big they can get. Complicated Knots has a small frog pattern (from her 12 days of Christmas videos) and it's my new obsession! I've already made 10 in the past two days.

What is the green yarn with the little white specks behind you on your yarn wall? It’s beautiful and I’d love to use it.

So by chance I got a cheap chenille yarn and made a whale. It was stubby due to not having enough yarn but i fell in love with plush yarn. I have an order of 5 premier chunky yarn on the way. It might take until the end of the month until i get it due to my location. What I mean is I took your advice and tried the yarn and now I am saving to buy Big twist posh yarn.Thank you and oh I love the video

Rat bear! 🤣 loves him! But I don’t think it’s only your muzzle (and no I’m not great at muzzles either!) the ears on the original pattern are too big and that’s what’s adding to the ratty appearance. But honestly I love how you owned it, long live rat bear! 😂

Patterns made just for YOU, or maybe a loved one. Would your list be a lot different? Would it include more detailed patterns or bigger/ taller ones? I'm more " addicted" to patterns then yarns or hooks.
