I missed a critical piece of the Craft Easy Safety Eye Tool! There are little adapter pieces on the clip that you pop into place for smaller size safety eyes! 👀 Thank you to those that have pointed that out! Knowing that, I can fully recommend this tool for those who have trouble putting on safety eyes! I'll make a KZfaq short video showing that feature! 💝

Elise! You need to author stories to go with your amigurumi!!! Love Felicity the Fox and little Dennis the Duck!! Especially since he doesn’t like wearing bows! 😂 love everything you do! I started making different amigurumi patterns recently and now I think I am ready to tackle your patterns, especially since I am much more confident in crocheting. Love your energy, smile and overall spirit! And now seeing the different amigurumi from the summer festival you showcased on this video has convinced me to purchase! You’re truly an amazing creator and I am excited to make all these little toys. ❤️

That keeper thing (the thing that slides on to keep them closed for storage) looked like it had inserts so it will work with the smaller backs?

I love Felicity and her Dennis! As long as Felicity keeps putting a bow on Dennis, I think he needs to rethink his consternation and just turn it a bit and make it a bow tie.

Omg felicity and Dennis’ backstories!! So cute!! 😭

Oh I was bummed it didn't work on the small size because those are the stinkers, but I'm glad to read that they have an adapter piece! That would be a lifesaver!

Those ami's are so sweet! I am in awe of the designers (that means you too!) and their talent with a hook! 59 patterns for $32 is an amazing deal too. I have seen many of the iterations of that safety eye tool and, I dunno, I don't think its for me. $30 seems a bit steep. Neat concept for sure.

Finally your videoo. Could you make a video where you'll show us allll your amigurumi projects please??

the stockings for Felicity are adorable and such a cute detail. I love the matching bows and the story that he always takes it off hahaha, thank you for showing a tool that makes crochet more accessible, have a good one :)

Love the little cat with her mouse and the grandma with the multiple cats. Love the tool will get on the wait list.

I LOVE your new makes! They are so adorable!!! I need to get my crojo moving and get to crocheting and make some of your cute characters. Oh!!! All those patterns need to be mine, mine, mine!!! I just purchased the patterns and I am so excited!!! You learn so many NEW things from different designers!! This Lady is feeling SUPER DUPER EXCITED!!!!

Love all the festivals patterns and I love your pattern for Felicity and Dennis. The story of the two are so clever.

Great tool review!!! Love Felicity and Dennis!!! All the characters with their pets are AMAZING!!!! They are absolutely ADORABLE!!!! Thank you!!!

I LOVE Felicity and Dennis! They’re perfect! Ordered my collection; it’s SUCH an incredible value and, as usual, the stories are as adorable as all of the fantastic designs! Good to “see” you, Elise! 😉🧶. Hugs ~ Lisa 💖🦊🦆

Quick Hack... if you happen to lose the adapter Needed: washer (for screws), 8" lenght of yarn (DK or thinner), small item to hang on the yarn Find a washer with a minimum diameter of 1 cm and a hole that's narrower than the safety eye back. Insert the eye through your work, put the back on the stem, place the washer over the back and stem and then use the tool. 👍 To keep from losing the washer, insert a length of yarn through it and add something to the yarn loop before knotting it into a circle. (For example, a small crocheted square, several pony beads, etc.) The yarn shouldn't affect the use of the tool, so you won't need to remove it. Just make sure the washer isn't close to the diameter of the stem, so the loop of yarn doesn't come into contact with the stem and become frayed. Adapter You could do something similar with the adaptor: after using it, place it on a removable stitch marker, and tie something to the stitch marker (such as pony beads on a length of yarn) to make it easy to find if you drop it. Or, one of those plastic stitch markers that looks like a safety pin would probably do the trick by itself. It's big enough to see if you drop the adaptor on the floor but the adapter would still easily fit into a case/bag for storage.

I am not making amigurumi yet, but I signed up to be notified when they start the manufacturing process. One of these tools would make a nice Christmas present for myself.😊

You have radically changed and improved my Crochet experience. Thank you, Elise! I am loving the Clover Amour hooks

...I swear, this is getting me to want to do amigurumi again! I haven't done it in a while, and I'm really loving how all of these look with whatever yarns they've all used! 😳

I was getting concerned! You haven't uploaded for 2 weeks and I was worried about you :(. Glad to see you've done a new video! I'm currently crocheting a turtle from a pattern i've bought and i didn't expect it to be so big!

What a cute collection! I loved the beekeeper and her bee the best. My name means honeybee so I love all the trendy bee things! 😊❤🧶🐝 Felicity and her duckling are absolutely adorable, and all the beautiful details are perfect!🦊🦆

I have the wooden ball tool but this one looks so much better! Love your little fox and duck as well as all of the other little Ami's. They are so adorable!! Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend. 🧶🦆🦊🙂😘❤

I've been doing a bit of a binge of your videos the past few days... super happy to see a new upload! I just graduated high school and am finding myself with a lot of time and not a lot of ideas how to spend it, so I've dived head-first back into crochet :) I'm especially excited to see an amigurumi-themed video! I think we ALL hate snapping safety eyes in haha

After watching you attaching the eyes, I realized I’ve been putting the backs on upside down! They stayed, so I wasn’t concerned. Now that I know there’s an adapter, I’ll definitely be buying this!

Love your Fox family.

I loved the one with the Flamingo. I love Flamingos. I ordered a down load for this. Thanks. I really want to learn how to do these cute things for my great grands.

Dear Elise, Thank you for sharing, and as always your creations are absolutely adorable and cute 🥰 That tool would be perfect 🤩 Take care and stay safe and well. God’s Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏽🧶🩷😻🐶🦊🦆

I’m so glad you showed the pets. When I got the email for the festival I was a bit concerned because it’s a 2 step process to get all the patterns. But they are all so cute!

you have got me into the amigurumi making mood and because of you I am going to teach myself how to knit

Great video Elise! The tool probably needs just a tweak to make it work for those smaller backs, but what a great idea! And I'm sorry, Felicity and Dennis??! SUPER adorable! What great designs! And I love all the other ones with their pets--how can every single one be SO cute??!! I can't even pick ONE favorite, but the sheep with the wolf pet just spoke to me, lol. They are ALL adorable and I'd love to make every single one!

Congratulations on designing beautiful Felicity Fox 🦊 and her pet duck Dennis 🐥. Amigurumi is not something I feel up to yet trying to make myself but I love Amigurumi animals and toys. I admire all the work that goes into them and how super cute they are.💗 I was thinking that safety eye tool was great but it really missed the mark not catering for all size eyes with attachments. 😂 ❤But then I read that u have since been informed there r attachments and a short video is coming😊. I hope your Mum is doing alot better. Love and prayers 💗💗💗🙏🙏🙏🧶🧶🧶🦊🐥

I'm glad you found the adapter for the plier tool. ❤❤❤

I already commented agreeing with another viewer there may be adaptors on the black piece. Thank you for letting us know about summer festival. The dollies were so cute and after hearing your story I had to jump over there and buy it ASAP 😊. I haven’t crocheted in years but I sure want to make one of these! ❤

I really like my little wooden ball thingy that I use for my safety eyes & noses. No extra pieces to add to make it work & it takes up almost NO space in my craft tote. But thanks for sharing this video. I did forward to a friend with hand mobility issues and she thinks this will be a purchase for her!! Thank you!! 🥰💕

So talented all the patterns are amazing. Love all of them. The fox and her duck is precious. I love her leggings the best what a great detail.

I loved all the patterns . Really cute.

This was an eye opener! Bahahahaha!!😂😂😂 It was great to see all the amis and their pets...and poor Dennis! I loved the white rabbit ❤...and trying out their names in Spanish! Very posh 🤩

I bought the bundle! So excited to make everything and follow all the designers on Instagram!

So they are already on the market? I was sorry to see that the Kickstarter campaign failed a few weeks ago. Thanks for featuring them.

Thank you for the video! I've been using a tool consisting on two pieces of wood with different diameter holes on it and it also work pretty well for me.

Always nice to have handy tools. Thank you

reminds me of the pliers used to put snaps on clothes. I've never had trouble putting safety eyes on, but i don;t make nearky as many amigurumi as you! I always assumed the backs go on in the other direction, I guess i've been doing it wrong 😅

I think you have a smaller hole adaptor for small size eyes attached to the black plastic that holds the tool closed .

Hi Elise and right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and granny squares blanket and butterfly mosaic blanket and a baby blanket and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite crochet project to work on right now and favorite types of yarn to used when crocheting and keep up the great work on your KZfaq channel and keep up the great work on your crochet projects

So adorable . I love your talent!😊😊😊

I saw someone else review this too and I am totally buying it when it becomes available.

I also love your new pattern

I’m so excited just bought the festival pack!!!!

I can't pick just one they are so cute. My top three are the cat with the mouse, the mermaid and your fox with the duck.

I think I've been doing it wrong because I put the backs the other way around haha! My last project was a Fairy Penguin and I used buttons instead! They're perfect because the ones I used look exactly like safety eyes, only they can be sewed on! I highly recommend 🐧🐧

I bought the festival bundle!❤❤❤ Wow! It's a 457 pg pdf! The content page only lists the design company names, not the pattern name and does not list the pdf page number. 😢 Since the book is so long, I wish it listed the pattern name and page number. FYI Felicity Fox is on page 197. This doesn't include patterns for the corresponding pets. (Those will be available in a later download.) I guess I'll need to create a separate document giving the Pattern names and their corresponding book and page numbers for the dolls and their pets. A little inconvenient, but the dolls are SO cute!❤

I was looking at this video and was Elise there are some other things their lol 😂 but as I read some of the comments I know you got this 👍🏼 I also brought the summer festival patterns. I can’t wait to make them all. Thanks for the link. i got them for my birthday haha it will be the best birthday gift for me 😁 anyway stay safe and healthy ✌🏼out for now 🙋🏻‍♀️ I will be happily crocheting 🧶 lol 😂

I crochet and knitt a lots of dolls and I like them safe for all ,I prefer the crochet eye.and the fact that it's crafting the only thing I like is my needles and hooks and sometimes I just use my fingers.

I love this! ❤😊

Omg. So excited for this. I have the little wood balls with metal tubes and I still can't get the eyes to stay on without super glue. Can you also show how to use the ball? I cannot get my eyes on tight enough. Thank you!

I was just going to tell you about the adapters!I could see them on the piece of black plastic

My favorite is the girl with the giraffe. Someday I hope to be able to make these. I want to make ami dollies and foods.

Awesome 💕

This was so much fun to watch ☺️. They are darling patterns! Good job designing such a cute pattern, I’m glad that you actually make and love toys 👍🏼☺️❤️🧶. I do think I will stick with the round nob tool. Keep cool 😎

Maybe you should try using the black band that holds it together. It’s got the smaller piece on it. Looks like that might work for you.

4:23 use the hole on the outside the rubber part pushes the see threw part i think

Thank you for testing out the eye tool. I love your fox and duck pattern. Will we be notified about the special pattern bundle that is coming out later this month? There are some lovely patterns in the bundle. Thank you Elise

I’m waiting for you to put your snowman puppets on your Etsy shop. ☃️☃️☃️☃️

As I was watching the video I started telling you there was an adapter on the holder. Pointing “it’s right there!!!” Have you tried it with the adapter? Love Felicity Fox and her friend Dennis!

almost all of the beginner crochet kits i see on amazon come with that tool, never knew what it was hahaha

Looks like you missed the adapter for smaller eyes. I would definitely buy this!

Have you considered visiting the Northeast (CT *cough cough* for a meet and greet at a local yarn store or convention center? Perhaps something for the future?

It seems like there should be some sort of easy way to make that hole smaller. You might want to take the tool down to your local hardware store and see if they have any suggestions. You might also want to let the creators know they need to make the hole smaller

real one right

Thxx :)

There is little adapters on that black piece that will help you with the smaller safety eyes as I was watching your video I kept saying there is the adapters there are the adapters LOL

I personally tend to struggle with the smaller sized eyes than the big ones since it's harder to get a good grip on them so I don't really see this tool being a game changer or anything, which is unfortunate. Maybe if they made the hole way smaller (or better yet, adjustable)

❤❤❤thanks

Hi Elise!!! Long time viewer, I just posting on KZfaq (not sure how but it’s been going really well) I have a new Ami pattern Frederick the Fox haha Felicity and him could be besties!!! Love this video as always 🧶🦊

Went to the Spoonie Stitcher KZfaq channel and she received 3 sizes . Maybe you received a medium size.

Hi Elise, is it possible to go a few sizes up with the crochet needle and yarn for an Amigurumi pattern? will the pattern still work, or would it end up being out of proportions? thank you for another lovely video. love your energy!

WHERE YOU GET YOUR PATTERNS FOR YOUR Amigurumi ? They are so cute and real life looking. I love them.

I don't even us that many safety eyes for my projects and I still want one

how about you use a metal washer (the one you would use for bolts and screws) as a buffer between the plastic bit and the gadget? Just an idea...

It looks like the tool to install eyelets

Hello Elise, those patterns are so cute..It is a shame that it goes only through July 23. Some folks dont always have the money, but i will have to ask if you could give a written list of who contributed? Or if there is one already? ❤

Thank for this video and for introducing many of us to this festival! It’s awesome and u want to purchase the set but it says the pets won’t be available until the 19th after we’ve followed their stories on social media?

I love the featival designs! Since the costs are in Euros and Dollars, do you know if any of the patterns will be written with UK vs US directions? I assume yours will be in US directions.

You should make the bear and the bee for Toni… 😂🐝

On your tool there was 2 other pieces if you put one of them on it you will be able to use your smaller backs.

I'm making Fred the Turtle 🐢 as a "baby" gift for my cousin's 18-month-old. I've made blankets for each of my younger cousins' kids as they're born. However, for the final kiddo, we've decided to do an amigurumi. I don't want to use safety eyes because of his age, so I'm looking for ideas to replace the eyes on the Fred the Turtle pattern. This will be my first amigurumi. I haven't embroidered in about 40 years, so I'm looking at doing a single crochet circle, but I would appreciate recommendations from others.

I never had a problem with safety eyes, i didnt know others did, but im 21 so maybe its something ill experience down the line

Try the hole in the ruler

i hate hurting my fingers with saftey eyes, so i glye mine on with e600. I think they secure better and i can add eyes with a sewn closed plush

I wonder about the adapters on the black holders. I see you found that out later as your note shows. Are there instructions? I couldn't tell from what you showed of the packaging. If no instructions, that is the real problem.

Hey Elise I wanted to tell you about the frog I'm knitting by Susan b. Anderson its body has a tennis ball inside it so when its tossed it bounces how fun is that!!!

My daughter's name is Felicity!!

I have no hand strength either😢.I found a gadget on etsy I hope I can use.😊

Those 2 pieces that come with the tool do they go in the whole to adjust the size of the whole?

That does come with smaller holes that insert into the hole on the tool

I think that there could be 2 sizes of the product😊

Hmmm. I put the safety eye backs on with the curve up rather than down. Is this incorrect or does it matter?

Sorry for asking but i have no idea how that festival works. Who can participate in it? I guess not everyone. And what exactly can we do? We can only purchase those patters? I would love to learn more information

I would be curious to know how these work with chenille and blanket style yarn. This is where I have the biggest issue.

Quick question about the pattern bundle…It says in the order that the patterns for the characters pets won’t be available until the 19th…are we able to get them now?

I bought the Ebook of the Festival for Amirgurumi but none of the little ones that go with each of the patterns. Dennis is not in there either do I need to purchase another book for them?
