Elise! Your daughter is a beautiful bride! Such a beautiful wedding! I love all the different flowers and colors she chose. You are a super hero for finishing those adorable dolls while tackling all the wedding stuff! She will treasure those forever 💖

I agree with adding the veil, but I wouldn't change the bride's hair at all. It's absolutely beautiful. I'm sure your daughter and son-in-law will cherish the set for years to come. Congratulations!👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏼‍♂️

Catching up on your videos since I just found your channel a couple of days ago! Congrats on the wedding! I’m not sure if anyone mentioned this in the previous comments but…. If you put your project containing mohair in a freezer bag and then pop it into the freezer for at least 15 mins it frogs so much easier! It helps the fibers from sticking to each other 😊

First, congrats to everyone !It was so fun to see and hear a bit about the wedding. And the process for the dolls....oh how easy it is as a designer to set big expectations for ourselves in tiny time frames. 😂 You did it though and they turned out beautifully. ❤

Congratulations to the beautiful couple and to you for getting the dolls done. The dolls are adorable and will no doubt be treasured by your daughter and son - in- law. Looks like it was a beautiful wedding day. Hope you had fun too!

hey elise! happy to hear you talk about yarns like this, a lot of yarn is imported from turkey in my country so i've used yarnart a lot for amigurumi and even clothes! it's nice to see channels talking about non american yarns as they're not available here at all 😊

🎉 Loved hearing and seeing all the fun images of your beautiful daughters wedding. Ya'll looked so beautiful! The dolls turned out superb! Chef's kiss to you my dear! Love you & all your videos!!!❤❤❤

I would love a video tutorial on crocheting hair. I love making amigurumi dolls but I always dread the hair.

Elise, congratulations to the happy couple!! Your daughter's dress was absolutely beautiful!! She was a beautiful bride. I also love all the gorgeous flowers...very beautiful. The dolls came out sooo adorable...I love, love, love them!! What a special gift❤ I'm glad you got to finish them on time🤗😍

Thank you for sharing not only your thoughts on these yarns, but also your stressful journey to complete the adorable little toys. You deserve a big trophy 😁

I messaged you about this yarn a few weeks ago. Well I ordered some and it is my favorite. I have never been really good with heavier yarns. I have always worked with crochet thread or even sewing thread and made doilies, table clothes etc. But I fell in love with Amigurumi and this is perfect yarn. My only con is I can’t make the really big critters with it and sometimes people think if it is small you didn’t work very hard on it. Oh well there loss 😀. Thank you for telling us about this yarn. Love your program.

Congratulations on gaining a ‘new’ son, and thank you for sharing the wedding photos! Everyone looked amazing, and your daughter was radiant! The dolls are adorable! Now that the wedding is over, you can relax and take your time to get them just the way you want. Enjoy your weekend!

Congratulations! Your daughter is a beautiful bride! Thanks for sharing pictures of the wedding. It looks fabulous. Happy times for your family. These little amigurumis are so cute.

Congratulations to your daughter and new son! The bride and groom ami are a lovely way to memorialize their union. They turned out gorgeous, by the way. About hook sizes, Tulip makes a 2.20 mm hook that is perfect for this yarn.

I love the dolls, her hair is really pretty whether it matches the bride or not. You have gorgeous children, what a wonderful wedding!

Congratulations to your daughter and son in law. The bride and groom amigurumi are ADORABLE! Thanks for your thoughts on this yarn. It's a universal fact that when we have great aspirations for a yarny project with a short time frame we will inevitably run out of time.

Such a gorgeous bride! She looks just like you!

Awesome. Thanks for reviewing this yarn, and specifically for amigurumi. It's been in several amigurumi patterns I've done in the last year. Never tried it, though. Congratulations to your daughter, husband, and your whole family!

Thank you for the wonderful videos! Your daughter's wedding was beautiful! A trick I found with mohair to make it easier to frog an object is to freeze it. I think the doll bride's hair is beautiful and I don't think you should change it. The photo of the couple and dolls is a priceless memory!

A beautiful bride just like her mother! Looking forward to the release of the pattern. Thank you for the great review.

Thank you for this review! I get what you mean about color choices! I usually do my amigurumi in #3 crochet thread, Aunt Lydia’s is my favorite. But they only have about 16 colors in #3 (many more in #10!), and a lot of time, certain colors just aren’t available. I’ve looked at other manufacturers, but they just don’t have the same feel. They are way more expensive, or they twist too much, or something else.

Congrats on the wedding!!! Those pictures/video you shared are amazing. That venue looks incredible. I hope everyone had a wonderful time. I love that you talk about the softness of the yarn. That's a HUGE factor for me since I make so many dolls. If I don't like working with it because it's scratchy or otherwise uncomfortable, I can't expect someone else to want to buy a doll made from it, you know?

I’ve used YarnArt Jeans in a couple of projects. I liked it. I have a lot of Scheepjes Catona yarn that I like too. But YarnArt works well and as you mentioned, it does not split. I love the bride and groom dolls. BTW your daughter is beautiful. All the best to her and her new husband.

I’ve made one for a few people in my life years ago. Each person loved them.

Thank you for all the good info Elise and congratulations again! I hope everything went swimmingly ❤

Congrats for wedding! I love to work with yarnart jeans, I used it many times, I love their color selection.

2:50 I think it’s really sweet you did that for them. Obvi crochet is important to you and obvi your kids are but I’m sure your daughter knows all the time and love that goes into these things and so I can only imagine the feeling she had when you gave these to them.

Congratulations Elise! I enjoyed your ramble about yarn! I myself am a rambler as well. 🤣🤣🤣

Beautiful family!! Congratulations! Thanks for the yarn review and for sharing your creative journey 😊

These are so adorable! 😍 They look perfect. The wedding looked beautiful and grats on many precious new memories.

Both of your daughters looked beautiful, but the one getting married just glowed! Your bride and groom doll are so adorable and looked so much like them. What a wonderful heirloom gift y9u made. The first yarn I ever bought was the yarn arts jeans but I still have not used lol. But I love the rich colors of it. Looking forward to buying your pattern of the bride and groom, I think I now own all of your patterns include the one in the book fairytale.

Your daughter looked beautiful, and you looked pretty cute yourself. I can't wait to get the bride pattern. I am going to make it for my great-niece for Christmas. Thanks for the review of the yarn.

I have been really curious about this yarn. I am so glad you did a review. I think I will try it on the ami I plan to make my sister. And congrats to everyone!

Such a thoughtful idea for your daughter and her intended for a wedding decoration and keepsake! Those dolls are just precious!! They will no doubt appear at each happy anniversary celebration for years to come. 💞

My favorite soft cotton yarn, I have used it for years. 😊 good for kids

I so sympathize with your panic on your daughter’s wedding day. I had a similar day when my daughter was married. In spite of a few little bumps, it was a wonderful, magical day.

Congratulation ❤ my grand ma😊good jop i learns a lot from each video ❤😊

Your dolls are so cute and I know every time your daughter and son in law will have great memories of these in the future. You are an amazing Mom. God Bless

Congratulations, you made it through your first wedding of one of your children ❤ . It’s a very sweet and crazy time! I very much admire the wonderful gift you created for them . I think I’ll try that yarn arts yarn , when I’m able to use my thumb. (Take some time to relax now ☺️🌹)

Congratulations to your daughter! You all looked beautiful, and the venue seemed to be very lovely. And the bride and groom turned out to look adorable! Thanks for this video!

Love the dolls. Thank you for sharing the yarns, will have to check out the yarns . Congratulations to the bride and groom 🎉

I’ve been using Yarnard Jeans 95% of the time for my Amigurumis for years and love it. It takes long hours to make a doll or an animal character, but they always look good. The ideal hook size is 3 for me, my stitches have a good tension, so this is the best hook/tension combo for me.

They both turned out so cute! Your daughter looked so beautiful! I'm definitely checking out that yarn..the colors are amazing!

Congratulations on the wedding. Everyone looked beautiful and handsome. I love the bride and groom. They are perfect.

Yes congratulations. This is elegant. Thank you

Hi Elise Thank you for sharing these wedding photos with us…the bride and groom looked absolutely gorgeous and so did the rest of the party! Your family has grown by one now 👰🏼🤵🏻May the happy couple have a wonderful and blessed life together. I love that you continued to crochet right up to the ceremony…those dolls looked so cute and I agree the bride and groom will definitely treasure them. I love hearing about new yarn to try, but as it’s not available in my local shops it will have to wait until I’ve used up all my yarn stash before I buy more yarn 🧶 I can’t wait for your patterns to come out, you can just breathe now and relax. Take care and stay safe and well. God bless you all 🙏🏼💗🧶😻

"Thank you for this " in the workshop" video!" "The video had everything perfect in it with great variety!" "We love your intricate tech styles that allows you to make anything you are inspired to create in a snap!" "The married couple dolls are one of a kind designing which is so joyful for the summer, knowing that you made these darlings based upon your daughter's marriage!!" "Much gratitude for featuring your beautiful happy family occasion!" "Very best wishes to you all from Anne Fox, USA!"

YAIY for getting your dolls done JUST on time!!! Hope the wedding was as fun & wonderful as it looked, for you, your daughter, & for your son-in-law!!! Also I'm no stranger to the "why isn't this yarn working" stress, frustration & downright rage!!!

Beautiful family, thank you for sharing your family's special day. Can't wait for pattern to come out for the dolls. Keep up the wonderful work. Hope your husband made it through the big day too. Six of our children have married and we loved the weddings but exhausting 😅🤗

Congratulations to your daughter and new son in law❤. Your daughter looked so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Your bride & groom amigurumi dolls are so stinking cute. Elise, you looked so beautiful. Your talent goes beyond words. ❤gayle

Thank you for sharing 😊

I just bought some of this yarn to make some amigurumi and I LOVE IT!

Congrats to your daughter and also those dolls are beautiful! I lOVE her hair!!!

Have you ever tried stylecraft special double knit yarn? I absolutely LOVE it for amigurumi. It's a DK wt yarn. I get it from wool warehouse. Currently it's only £2.14 which even with the conversion to USD and shipping costs, it's still great. 100% acrylic, 100g... and soft but still great for amigurumi projects.

Thank you for the great review!! Love the wedding photos. The doll’s hair is dreamy and adorable. Hope you make fairy looking dolls. It sounded interesting as you described it. So much thinking goes into amigurumi as you have explained. Lots of trial and error to get to “perfection”. Your work is magnificent.

Hello Elise , what fun to see and hear about the wedding . Your daughter looked gorgeous , the both did . What a beautiful family . The little bride and groom are so cute , you did a great job . I have never used yarnart yarn , they have beautiful colors I must say . ❤

So glad you also like this yarn as it's my fave for small amigurumi & I found it very early on in my crochet journey. I'm glad you did a video about it! Saw u bought some & was wondering how you liked it. That's a GREAT price for it too. I bought mine from Etsy & it was $125 for 33 skeins. I also love the variety of colors. Hope you're having a great weekend!

Wow, dolls look so beautiful and the idea itself is great! Yarnart Jeans is one of the most popular yarns for amigurumi in Eastern Europe and it is also one of the cheapest and the most common in its segment (approx. 1.5$ for a ball). I usually use 2.25 hook for it and it's a great yarn to try a new pattern - it has lots of colours and is easier that 100% cotton due to a little stretch it has.

Congrats! Such a beautiful family!

Wow, how sweet on the bridge and groom dolls. Love them. What a beautiful bride she was and a beautiful lady she is, like you. Gorgeous dress, I agree. Great video, review and all. Love it. love,hugs,prayers.

Oh my goodness it sounds so stressful having it down to the wire like that! So glad you got it done in time for them to take pictures with them on the wedding day (even if the veil wasn’t done!). ❤

Congratulations! On the wedding and the dolls!

Thank you for more insightful information! Gorgeous bride and mother of the bride!♥️

You are extremely talented, and the bride and groom dolls are so beautiful. Very well done 😃! And congrats to your family. Your daughter was a beautiful bride ☺️!

I use mainly this one yarn and i like to use 2,5 mm hook. "Yarnart jeans" is a tiny bit thicker than Gazzal baby cotton, DMC happy cotton, Rainbow Hobbii, Yarnart Begonia (100% cotton). I have Begonia just one color and it is little bit slippery and have little sheen, Jeans is matt.

Thank you. I wondered how this yarn would work. I have problems with cotton yarn as well, oh to be non arthritic again , lol. I just live your amigurumi creations. I can spot your work without fail. Your bride and groom are darling . You did a fantastic job basing them on your beautiful daughter and handsome son-in-ilaw. I related so much to your down to the wire panic work on your dolls. I too have thought up grand ideas that I wanted to be perfect causing me to still be working on them right up to crunch time. Oh, the things we put ourselves through in the search for perfection. Truth be told, in my case, perfect rarely is achieved in anything I do. I've learned to cut myself some slack.....okay, that's a work in progress as well. You are so talented and creative. Keep up the great work. A talent by any other name is still amazing.

Congrats to your daughter. Your dolls are gorgeous, you did an awesome job. Will sign up for your email . Thanks for sharing ❤

my girl played yarn chicken with time (time chicken?) and WON. nice

The bride doll's hair is so so beautiful!

Super cute dolls.

That’s obsession at its best!!!

What a beautiful family, the dolls are cute af!

Hi Elise, what an interesting video today. Loved seeing the pics from the wedding! Your daughter was so beautiful. You two look so much alike. That was so interesting about the crochet cotton and how it can hurt your hands. I have had the same problem and thought it must just be me. I few years ago when I was crocheting baby toys for my grand niece, (She loved tropical fish, so I made several brightly colored fish and an octopus) They were just the right size to be thrown into the baby bag and could be thrown in the washer) I fell in love with some beautiful cotton worsted wt. I bought almost every color they had. But when I went to crochet with it I had a hard time enjoying the feel and pull of the yarn. I still have loads of it and am determined to use it in some new amigurumi projects, but I have been avoiding it. Hope you have a wonderful day ahead!

For amigurumi I love to use yarn art jeans, I usually use 2,5mm crochet hook. At Slovakia we have this yarn almost in every yarn shop, or online shops. It is very popular among the Slovakian crocheters. 🧶❤ I love to watch your videos when I crochet 😊

Hi, I didn't even know your page existed! Nice to meet you and I enjoyed this video very much! Beautiful family! I started amigurumi in the past and was not successful, maybe I'll try again thanks!

Thanks for sharing ❤

Great info!

Congratulation 😍 ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻

I think it's soft. A lot softer than 24/7 for sure

I use a thicker version of that yarn, Jeans/Gina Plus (Yarnart) to make amigurumi dolls using Carla Mitrani's (AmourFou's) patterns. I use a 5mm hook to get nice dolls that are bigger than what you get with the recommended hook size and yarn (too tiny for me). I'm very happy with the yarn, especially when it comes to the range of colours - great skin tones like you said and nice stitch deffinition.

The bride and groom are so cute❤ whew that was cutting it super close

congrats on your daugthers wedding :) she look so pretty and a lot like you :) your bride and groom are so cute

Elise, your whole family is simply beautiful! I’m also giggling and wondering about their reactions as you sat there the day of the wedding not allowing any one to speak to you, crocheting away. 😂 And thank you for covering this yarn, especially highlighting the skintones. I know I had asked your advice on those because I’ve been stalling out on making my RBG ami because the Skein tones yarn (which may be too thick for the Crochet Iconic Women patterns anyhow. I think the book used the Yarnart Jeans?) had been on clearance and I never could find ivory and the next shade up was ridiculously pink leaning. I’ve never made any sort of crochet doll style pattern but I think they’re so beautiful and have a friend who makes absolutely incredible dolls. Funny enough I actually picked up some tulle for super cheap at Joann’s with their extra 75% off remnants. I’ve also got lace and chiffon (though those I was thinking I’d use just for decor- though I admit I’m a lifelong Stevie Nicks fan and think designing a Stevie Nicks ami would be amazing complete with a little Gold Dust Woman shawl 😂). Anyway, I was thinking maybe I’d make a ballerina because I used to be a very serious dancer until I developed health issues and the tulle would make a cute tutu. But maybe I’ll have to try your bride pattern when you release it! Congrats again to your daughter and her new husband! And to you- though good luck getting used to the fact that one of your babies now has a husband of her own! ❤

What a great idea! Will you be releasing the patterns after the tweaks? Those are adorable! The hair on the bride!! Lovely wedding photos. Thanks for sharing!

A little advice for frogging mohair yarn, if you pull it while having the working end at 60° angle it comes apart very easily! :)

Hi Elise, first, the wedding was lovely. Both you and your daughter looked stunning! Yes, weddings are crazy busy, we have been through 2 daughter's weddings. How sweet to have bride and groom amigurumi dolls as mementos, plus now you'll have a pattern too. They're so precious! You pulled it off, but I'm sorry you were so stressed out. It would have worked out had the first yarn not set you back so much. ;-)

For years after I got married, I looked for a bride doll that looked like me. Couldn't find anything, so I made it myself. The hair style was the same as your daughters & so was the vail. I sewed everything though, except the hair.

Oh, Elise! Your Bride & Groom turned out so adorable! I'm wondering how that yarn is when knitting. You know, how it affects your hands etc? I love your amigurumi characters and their knit clothes have such a tailored look. 🩷✌️🧶

Hello, Elise! I have always relied on information about recommended hook size, and here it was really disappointing. On the label it says 3-3.5 mm but it was waaaay too big and the one that fitted perfectly for me was 2.5 mm. Thanks for your review!

I like yarnart jeans for my smaller projects. What I like the most is the variety of colors that they have.I get it from an app that ships from Turkey.

thank you i love your tips👍🧶

What a coincidence, I recently made a set of amigurumi bride and groom for a couple that celebrated their anniversary, and I managed to get the bride hair almost similar. The secret was to make really long the hair straps back on the neck, so you have enough hair to make the hair bun to hold the bride’s veil.

Are we sisters from another mother?????? I DID THE SAME THING 😮😳😳😳 I designed and knit a shawl for my daughter's wedding 😂 WITH KNUPPS! ....idiot. I was blocking it right before we flew out. Phewwww It was beautiful. And I saw the pictures of the wedding day....you looked GORGEOUS, your daughter was GORGEOUS!! everything looked so pretty

Congratulations to your daughter and her new husband! I live in Canada and finding skin colour is almost impossible, it is usually out of stock! I do have a question, have you ever done a doll, with hair in a bun or ponytail, and have the head go floppy after it is finished? Any suggestions on how to fix without undoing anything?

HolaI love your tutorials and the way you splaying about the different ways to improve crocheting More fun. Love the story about your Daughter wedding 🤩It was great. Question. I am trying to do the Dr Woh Tom Baker he was the 4th Doctor. I have the pattern, but it calls for a 4 Play yarn. Or is best to us the Yarn Art Jeans. Thank you very much. 😃

thanks for vid pretty lady. congrats. be safe

no way! this is my absolutely favorite yarn and the shop that I buy it from is owned by such a sweet lady and she sells it for 1.70 usd (transferred from my currency)

Those plushies are so cute I still think you should try yarn bee you are so amazing

The bride and groom are beautiful.

What a coincidence! I just made a little toy using a pattern that calls for YarnArt Jeans. I actually don't have it so l used something else, but the pattern called for 2.0 mm hook and that's what l used with my similar weight yarn as well.
