Let me know what you want to see me review next! Also let me know if you agree with my daughter that my Hamilton dancing is cringe. 😅

My favorite part was when you were rocking out to Hamilton 😂 the one yellow spike and random spot had me laughing and I hate how the dollar tree instructions have the graph and written portions with the gray background! Like, save some money on ink, and write good instructions. I feel bad for all the children who have gotten these kits and have been disappointed and confused ☹️

im really happy that my partner found the bear one for me and thought of me because i said i wanted to try crocheting again. HOWEVER, even with my bare basic knowledge, the hook drove me up the wall. also the directions were god awful for my brain. i had to look up someone actually making it here on youtube for me to understand what the directions were talking about. on the plus side, i learned a lot about myself and my style. -learned that i work better with written out directions as opposed to a diagram -it really DID push me into doing more crocheting, specifically amigurumi. it makes my adhd brain stay focused and motivated on the project -i seriously dislike slip stitches for things like this. makes no sense to me tbh and i can always tell where the seam is im really glad that experienced people like yourself are confirming that it wasn't me and that it's the kit.

That was so fun to watch, I’m so glad you made the video, but I’m sorry for those few frustrations lol!!! I 💯 understand the bad sensory experience too. Great tip on sewing with clear thread! I see what you’re saying about the green color, but yours turned out soooo much cuter. I love it! Great video Rachel!

I agree with the felt too at the $1 🌳 it’s super thin but yours is way cuter!! I’ve never used the yarn from there though. I’m going to give it a try.

I love that you tried this kit. ❤️ I would have tried cotton balls for the stuffing. Good video!

Oh, you got enough backings for your eyes. My kit was missing one. I did a review of the dog pattern. Those charts are so hard to read! The dog had color changes, and it was so hard to see the difference in color with their 5 point type!

Huh…. The Dollar Tree near me does not stock all these new crochet kits out even that much yarn!! But I’m more interested in that amazing crocheting pillow you have there!!! I definitely need that!!

Charts like that are rather common in Japanese amigurumi so I didnt find it off putting at all. Maybe these were from a Daiso kit that was localized into English.

I definitely love the extra spikes on yours. I do think the green in the kit is better than the dark green too. Definitely pros & cons to both

well economy supplies from $tree. I would substitute hook and yarn but I usually do not see products reviewed on YT in my store and now a price increase. May not shop there much. Thanks for completing this review.

My idea to get the best of both the kit and other supplies from dollar tree is buy the kit and get other yarn and a better hook if you can find them then make the creation!! Well thats what I would do. I found your channel recently and wanted to comment.

I generally like darker greens, but the green that came with the kit fit better! I’m happy I saw this video- while I haven’t had success with yarn at my dollar tree, I know I would have grabbed the kit and been really upset 😬

I think you could always use Friench Knots for the eyes. Maybe a group of 3 in black and one of white in the center.

I did this one first! Shannon sent me the kits she had! I have about the same opinion and review as you. The eyes were nice and the stuffing was super soft too but the hook 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️and the needle too was terrible.

I'm making the two tone dog,and out of yarn. This is my first one,very hard.

What pillow are you using LOVE IT, but my boppy feels too small!

I've never seen charts used in sold or free amigurumi patterns, only on things that can be put flat, like clothes or granny squares. For amigurumis that aren't equal on all sides, like, more shaped stuff, they could be nice. But beginner? not so much. Like, it would be so easy to put written instructions AND the graphs, so if you don't get one you can try to understand the other.
