Answering your questions & life advice with Complicated Knots 

I apologise for that piece of fluff. It drove me INSANE during editing...

"Everything is just a series of balls and tubes." That needs to be on a t-shirt! Thanks for all the work you do to make your channel great, it really shows!

You are downright amazing! Its inpiring how you manage to fit all the stuff in just a few hours between work and sleep. You are truly awesome!

Ahhh, I want to be like CraftyIntentions too when I grow up!! And also, I want to be like ComplicatedKnots when I grow up, because you've already joined my crochet designer pantheon!! (I'm 28, been crocheting for 5 years, but I haven't designed anything myself, so... I'm crochet teenage I guess? crocheteen? crocheteern? no? ok I'll show myself out now) I love Heidi's designs too, she really is amazing, but I almost drove myself insane making the turtle (44 motifs! 44!), so the technique might not be for me! I also used DK weight instead of thread (which was recommended) so the turtle is huge and very huggable, so... worth it? Please take care of yourself, your schedule sounds so intense! If you need a break, or to take it easy for a few weeks, we understand and will be here when you come back, and cheer you on!

You're fun ^_^ I think your origami hobby is a huge factor in your ability to create amigirumi patterns. Plants vs Zombies is a favourite of mine, so if you wanna make that Cattail or Chomper *hint hint*. Avatar The Last Airbender has some great animals in it. Turtle Ducks are cute AF. The blanket you're working on is gorgeous! LOVE the yarn you're using. And yeah, blankets are kind of boring. I've been working on a cabled blanket for nearly a year now. It just doesn't hold my attention, even with the cables.

I just that I found your channel. Your patterns are so easy to follow. And I love making them for my grandkids. I love to see the way there little faces light up when they get the hand made items. Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary. Keep up the great work and you'll have an avid watcher here.

Loved this Q&A! Very interesting to learn more about you and your process. Thank you for including my questions💚

That fish is amazing!

I binge watch your videos these days and love all your little whooly creations :) but this answer about being "that type of weirdo" I cannot not subscribe. I like your personality and humor a lot!

Tamora Pierce books for the win! My very favorite is Sir Terry Pratchett, but my own novels are probably closest in style to Tammy

I'm also a huge fan of David Edding's, and never met anyone else who liked him, started reading his books 📚 when I was 12/13yrs old and I lost myself in them through my teens....( now 50yrs old and every 10yrs go back and re- read them.) Only just found your channel today while scrolling through RU-vid, and your so inspirational and hard working it's great to see. If you ever do get any haters, then delete them and move on as some people are jealous and sad. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤

Wow, remember me when you're famous! I watched one video of yours and I was immediately hooked! (no pun intended 🤣)

Why the peanut was just featured for one second??? I LOVE IT 😍

I started crocheting around Christmas 2020. Although I had been taught the basics of crochet before when I was a bit younger. This was the first time I successfully completed a piece. I was making an Among Us plush for my brother and I wanted to make the fried egg hat for it. So, I decided to crochet the hat. But it had been years since I had tried crochet and I had never been very successful. So, I started looking for a simple pattern to refresh my memory. The first successful plush I ever made was a baby octopus I followed a tutorial by All From Jade and I have happily lived in the Amigurumi rabbit hole ever since. As I am watching this video I am working on a green frog using your dart frog pattern. 😉 I look forward to future projects. 😊

You're so sweet😭 I loved hearing you talk about everything. Thank you so much for creating this channel. Your schedule is so intense. Please take rest when you feel like it.

Congrats on 1 year! *throwing confetti and balloons all over* David Eddings!

I have recently found your channel and I love it and have even shared it with my sister. You are amazing 👏 I was so happy to join your patron😊 you are so easy and relatable. Thanks

Thank you for sharing! I’m in the middle of the coping from workplace bully that’s why I started crocheting. I just discovered the fun part of amigurumi and can’t stop to do it now 😄

I’ve been a subscriber for awhile and I haven’t made anything yet. Your Mimic is a fav so I may start there. Your crochet talking is just fine to me, keep it up.

Wow 😮 that’s a lot of work you do and full time job as well 🤩 thank you ,thank you ,🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼for doing all that work 👍🏼 I love 💖💞all your videos and I have made a few of your patterns so far I haven’t had any problems with any of the patterns 👍🏼 good job 👏🏻 and oh happy 1 year anniversary 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I hope 🤞 you have many more years to come 😊 stay safe and heathy ✌🏼out for now 🙋🏻‍♀️

Hello and omg thank you!! I have been hunting the tube to find Aussie content and you are the first! Its so exciting to see someone who goes to Spotlight (Omg those mill end bags!) & Big W for yarn. It makes it easier to source and access for a project. ( overseas product are difficult to find or cost an arm, leg, kidney or firstborn grandchild!). Thank you for your time you put into this channel and I'm currently working on the Platypus (plain version) for a gift. Dont forget to give yourself "you" time too!😆

Hola soy de Mexico . No solo me enseñas excelentes técnicas de crochet . También estoy aprendiendo y recordando el idioma inglés . Me encanta tu trabajo , te toca traducir🤭. Tu ranita fue un proyecto que reproduje y es todo un éxito . Fue un reto para mí, pero tu forma de enseñasr es lo mejor. Eres muy divertida . ❤ Gracias

Loooool I really enjoyed your honesty and easygoingness. Thanks a lot for sharing with the world your talent! But also your encouragement to keep on going with everything we do and love, I really appreciated it. I must say I've been learning amigurumi on and off for some time, with some proyects here and there and I've found your tutorials and tips really helpfull, like more helpfull than any other I've seen. Congratulations for such an amazing proyect!! With love and hugs from Mexico, Dana :)

thank you good video great channel

I woched this yesterday but am only commenting now because, I'm a criter as well as a verry big fan of yourself! So verry excited about the D&D videos to come! I would love to see your take on the feairy Dragon Even if it was just a sketch! Thank You so much for the time and effort you spend making videos, we appreciate you! Your life advice is spot on for me at the moment.(putting off starting/re-starting so many things) As always I love your chatty videos, and it's really cool to find out we have lot in common, hope you are well meg from Vic

Thank you so much for all the wonderful tips and just general friendlyness. Funny enough I'm using the same yarn to make a mermaid blanket (with crocodile stitch) right now and I'm the same way. I hate doing blankets because it's the same stitch over and over again and I like more instant gratification projects like hats or amigurumi. But I'm also the same where I need mindless fidget projects.

I love this video. I think it would be interesting to see you try this in a live setting.

Just want to share this… so the weirdest thing I crocheted but utterly satisfying is the “ hot potato “ that I even made bumps and eyes (not the seeing kind) on… I made it for my grandson so the kids could play hot potato on his birthday and it was such a hit because of obvious reasons that they were tossing a potato that wouldn’t hurt or rot!

I love this video! You remind me of me.... Crochet is so therapeutic for me as well. Amigurumi is also my thing. I have learned a lot from you. By the way.... I call it needle sculpting!

Can't wait for that make your own amigurumi pattern video! Especially thinfs like realistic feet, legs and torso. What's the math behind the increases, decreases and their placement. Thanks again for a great video!

I loved this video! ❤ Your so inspiring!! I hope I can create half as good amigurumi as any of yours one day! And thanks for all the advice! 😁👍

Oh wow. I had no idea you could maintain a channel such as this one AND have a full time job. That is really impressive. I've been whatching your videos for about 2 weeks now and I'm just done with the second animal. So the time you use to design, crochet, film, edit, write the pattern and distribute it, is about the time it takes me to make one amigurumi 😅 But I hope your partner will stay as understanding as he was, when you recorded this video, because I'd love to see more of you ❤ But if you ever feel like taking a break, then take one and just come back, when you're your happy, enthusiastic self again. We can wait, and we'll be here 😉

Haha I do the same thing with crocheting in social situations… join the club lol

My fiance lives in Australia (I live in the US) and his mum is always telling me about spotlight. She's really into crafts like me and wants me to show her craft stores here. I've inspired her to start to crochet again (even though I've only been at it for like 2 months)

I love your channel thank you so much ! What yarn were you using for your blanket?! (It's beautiful btw) x

Omg I used crochet to kope to!!!

Your schedule is so full! Is there a reason why there has to be a pattern every Thursday? You shouldn't feel obligated to release a literal free pattern every week! It's free! And even just 1 every month or less is plenty considering how many other things you also do! I remember being shocked seeing how much you interacted with viewers, which is amazing! It's rare to see such dedicated creators. If you're feeling burnout it's 100% okay to take a break rather than put your health at risk, again thank you for the amazing content!

on the next video can you show your notebook with pattern? or do an example? i want start desing my own amigurumi but i don't know how to write them (i'm pl and i hope i did write nothing wrong ;w;)

“I’m never going to make something like this fish again” Me, from the future, staring at Marigold:

I think your first new was better. I love how floppy it is. Great job for a first try

I really need to know what yarn you used for the llama. That is epic and I want to get the llama now drama pattern and make a similar one.

Oh! A Juliet Mariller fellow fan! Hiiii! *waves* =D Oh! Idea for a DnD creature? A monodrone! They're so cute! ... Not sure if easy to make one though...? Those skinny limbs would probably be a pain. Or you'd have to use wires or something. Anyway, now I got you thinking about it ;P

Can you help me with understanding whether you leave the 'wrong' or 'right' side out?

Have you tried rainbow loom it’s a great craft

I love that goldfish!!!! Did you design it yourself or follow a pattern?

Hello, hope you are having a wonderful day. I was just wondering, what is that ladies channel name who makes crochet animals out of African flower squares?

Idk... Waiting a couple years after pattern sale to do a video sounds fine. Its like paying for getting it right away vs having to wait ages.

I was wondering if I join your patreon do I get access to all ur patterns or just the pattern for that month?

Ok ok ok... Halloween? Cut-i-fied versions of iconic horror movies? (How cute would Jason's mask be in crochet? Or a Dracula bat? Or have they been done already?)

Could I possibly post a larger version of your fox pattern on Ravelry? I am linking your original fox pattern video as well as your steps to make amigurumi designs bigger (without bulky yarn). I've also adjusted it to my own stylistic choices, such as making the head top down (which was a pain because I foolishly decided to flip the pattern and double it at the same time) and adding detail, like a more pronounced paw. If you don't like me posting the pattern on Ravelry (for free of course), I won't, but I would like to share with you. I haven't tested the pattern yet, but I've written up the entire pattern without drastic variation to your original pattern, so adjustments shouldn't take too long (though I do have to move into college in a week, so it may take a bit for me to get to it).

For Halloween will you make a skeleton dog

I know this is a late comment. But... I went to opposite of you and made a mini llama no drama. XD
