Also, perfectionism is the enemy of, what was it, doing things? A lot of things you are critical of, no one else might ever notice. (I'm just assuming though, just keep going, you are doing a great job!)
I love this one! It's so luscious & voluminous! I also like the succulents & the coral reef, but especially now the flower has her own bee, she's just a dream!
I'm watching this while holding my 6month old and working on a mermaid tail blanket for my 4 yo. These videos are really tempting me to make a giant crochet wall garden. There arent enough hours in a day!
I absolutely love how these videos kind of teach the problem solving involved in this kind of freeform crochet design. Thank you so much for doing these! It is such a helpful resource!
so excited to see the autumn canvas!!! would love to see some mushroomies and leaves (even though y'all don't get the same autumn leaves as us in the northern hemisphere 😅) it's gonna be so cool to see all 4 pieces together!
Love the “Christmas Past” addition! Clever! 😉 Watching your creativity and creating is a pleasure; thank you so much for sharing with us! Brilliant!!! Xx ☺️🫶🏻🧶🐝
Kinda random, but I just wanted to point out how fun and satisfying it must be to sit in that chair! With a mountain of your art behind you, and a very satisfyingly organized yarn library! I would like to have that someday; just a big pile of all the little things that I make. I actually got the desk I have specifically for that, (it has a shelf above the actual desk part) But it’s way cooler and more impressive for you, because you created all of those yourself! You wrote the pattern that brought them to life, whereas I’d just be following a tutorial. But still! I just wanted to literally just complement you on how ridiculously cool your background looks, and how proud and accomplished you must feel when you look at it❤ (I could also write a whole book on how unnecessarily ridiculously talented you are, but then I think my fingers would fall off, because that would be like an hour of typing!)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
After the coral reef I thought to myself you couldn't be coming up with something as nice and creative, but you have! It turned out beautiful. I like the time you take to do the research, it definitely pays off. Waiting impatiently already for the mushrooms 🎉
Love your content, so far you're the only person I've found making patterns on the fly, and I love how you include your thought processes, tricks, and the struggle of being creative in a physical space. You're an amazing inspiration and get me excited to pick up my hook and riff out a new design with every video I watch. And I think that's the most wonderful part, you aren't inspiring me to follow along and make what you're making but instead give me courage to express myself in my own ways.
Haven't even gotten to the crocheting yet but I am growing multiples types of camellias, peonies, dahlias, and gardenias and omg thank you for your flower review I am laughing so hard!
I'm nust a few minutes in still, but I really appreciate you documenting the research phase and actively analyzing the flowers and buds you used as inspiration. The cuts that showed you placing down yarn after picking it out of the basket was cool, too.
I love to see your inspiration and planning process. And the result looks so pretty! 🏵 Can't wait to find out how the mushroom canvas will turn out. It'll be a great fall project!
I love this. I think I will do loops on the centre piece. Going with the frilly leaves was the best choice. Thank you for taking the time to explain your design process and I appreciate you embracing "this design is inspired by nature and is not meant to be a scientific illustration."
I love how these are turning out and can't wait for the mushroom one. I keep changing my favorite. I didn't think you could top the reef, but you did. Yes, that little Bumble bee did the trick. Also, thanks for taking the time to explain your thought and design process.
Last time I made flowers I did a long chain and then lots of "petals" the same way u did half a leaf then "curled" it up and sewed the base to keep it together, but I also like the way u did it, I'm just too lazy to sew a lot 😂
I've been inspired by this series since the beginning, and I decided to make one for my mom for Christmas and one of her favorite flowers are peony's ❤ I love seeing the different applications of the same flower of yours and mine ❤ I'm also including a couple of her other favourites to it, fuschia and hydrangea
Great job! This is going to be such a lovely grouping when you’re done. I agree with the thick being like frangipani or plumeria, but it’s also like lotus and magnolia. Both are very big and beautiful flowers on their own.
I'm really glad to see another video from you!! I love your energy and your patterns, but these "challenges" are always fun to watch while crocheting them :)
“And right in the middle of this one, we have a visible sphincter. So MAYBE that’s not one we make a flower out of!” Omg I died laughing that was great 😂❤
It is such a joy to watch you figure it out and come to such a great conclusion. It is just a shame that I'll have to wait for October for the shroom version ;/
after having seen you make the first two I was going through one of those larger *Asian/cheap shops looking for stuff for another project when I spotted the canvases..I looked at the prices of ones about the same size as you used and discovered that they were asking a small fortune for them..I then spotted a pack of 5 4.5cm* for under $4..so I thought, hmm🤔, maybe I can make four or five of these and put them together..I also purchased an A4 size magnet sheet ..I'll cut it up to fit behind each canvas because the small canvases are flat ones..when finished I can then put them on a fridge.. camelia's are a winter flower, not spring..
I have made a rose once, one petal at a time. ...Actually, I think I did it more than once, I just only have one rose left. Multi-piece flowers are so time-consuming, but they can also be incredibly satisfying to make.
awesome video!! turned out super cute, i do not envy the amount of leaves you had to make though XD not sure how nailed down of an idea you have for the fall one yet, but some suggestions for things to include, along with the mushrooms! acorns, gourds, ears of corn/corn stalks, sunflowers, leaves in the different fall colors :)))
Never stop making these canvas crochet thingies! I want to make one for my mom, but I'm not sure how to crochet a lily(/lilies) into a canvas! (If any of you guys have good lily patterns, do send them to me
Just a question, and something i only just noticed- why do you never pull your yarn from the center of your skein? As soon as i started doing that it made my crocheting experience much nicer as I no longer needed to stop every few minutes to keep yarn ball from rolling around.
When working a flat piece, alternating between rows of frontloop-only slipstitches and single crochet over the top of them. Keeps all your single crochets facing the same way, so it makes for a more uniform look, but it makes your stitches thicker. It's also twice as much work compared to just single crochet XD
