I really enjoyed the energy in your video today. I was especially amused by the eyeball granny square. I was laughing along with you. Your boys are precious. I have also used Patons for socks for my grandson and have been pleasantly surprised at how well they hold up.

Being a guy myself, I ALWAYS make the toes and heels in a solid or contrast yarn. It just saves the hassle of possibly running out of MC. Also, I NEVER block for the reason you mentioned. I appreciate the enthusiasm in your videos.

Awww... your boys are knitting, that's fantastic! They are just precious. I taught my daughter to knit at about their age, though it didn't turn out to be her thing. Still, a love of hand craft instilled from early childhood has added to her appreciation and love of all things handmade, and her current love of making stained glass.

@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS 4 ай бұрын

Thank you Zack! I am SO excited for them as well, and I'll tell you they have no qualms at all about knitting as boys because they watch a lot of other knitters on KZfaq who happen to be men. I'm so proud that they see it for what it is and not for who it's "supposed" to be for (which is EVERYONE). 😉

Fyi about safety eyes, safety eyes are technically not safe for children under 3. If you're worried about them coming off (or as added safety), you can put on the back, then melt the post until it's flat. But they're still not safe for babies. There are crochet amigurumi videos that show how. Elizabeth is a gorgeous hen. I'm making one for my sister, she'll just love it! The Coco Amour hood has been in my queue for next winter, but I'd love to see your deep dive. Monterey is amazing! I'll be there in 8 weeks when my next grand is born, but I have alot of baby knitting to power through before then. Glad you enjoyed Spring Break!

I would be very interested in a hood pattern similar to the hood you purchased-it looks so light, drapery and yet warm! I like the two you mention, however the simplicity of the purchased one is so classic. I hadn’t thought of carrying one when traveling, but your description of its warmth and convenience sounds perfect! (Love your videos!) 😀

I, too, fell in love with the Emotional Support Chicken. I wouldn't have cared what it was called, I would have made it anyway. I made one in worsted weight yarn and gave it to my grandson who is crazy about anything chicken. I am currently working on a fingering weight chicken, just have the undersection to finish and then attach the eyes, sew together, and stuff. Fun to knit and quick to knit.

@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS there are a few places in the bible where angels are described as having many wings and being covered in eyes, so it's been kind of a jokey trend online to have "biblically accurate" things and they just have a lot of eyes! (Revelation 4:8, Ezekiel 1:16-18, found these on google!)

I’d like to knit similar.
